Requirements for Abstraction and Control of TE Networks
draft-ietf-teas-actn-requirements-05.txt
Abstract
This document provides a set of requirements for abstraction and
control of Traffic Engineering networks to facilitate virtual
network operation via the creation of a single virtualized network
or a seamless service. This supports operators in viewing and
controlling different domains (at any dimension: applied technology,
administrative zones, or vendor-specific technology islands) as a
single virtualized network.

Internet-Draft ACTN Requirements May 2017
1. Introduction
This document provides a set of requirements for Abstraction and
Control of Traffic Engineering (TE) Networks (ACTN) identified in
various use-cases specified by the operators. [ACTN-frame] defines
the base reference architecture and terminology.
ACTN refers to the set of virtual network service operations needed
to orchestrate, control and manage large-scale multi-domain TE
networks so as to facilitate network programmability, automation,
efficient resource sharing, and end-to-end virtual service aware
connectivity.
These operations are summarized as follows:
- Abstraction and coordination of underlying network resources
independent of how these resources are managed or controlled,
