MEF plans to have its SD-WAN and LSO Sonata API standards published late in the second quarter of this year, along with a slate of other activities on tap throughout the remainder of the year.
The forum is aligning various key components this year to aid operators with orchestrating their services across software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV)-based networks.
That alignment is taking place across its MEF 3.0 framework that includes standardized services, LSO (Lifecycle Service Orchestration) APIs, services, technology and professional certification, proof of concept demonstrations and other community activities.
