Applicability of Abstraction and Control of Traffic Engineered
Networks (ACTN) to Enhanced VPN
draft-lee-rtgwg-actn-applicability-enhanced-vpn-02
Abstract
The Abstraction and Control of Traffic Engineered Networks (ACTN)
defines an SDN-based architecture that relies on the concepts of
network and service abstraction to detach network and service
control from the underlying data plane.
This document outlines the overview of ACTN capability and the
applicability of ACTN to Enhanced VPN. In particular, this document
also discusses how ACTN features can fulfill some of the
requirements of the enhanced VPN, which is also known as VPN+
[VPN+].
