ITU-T G.7701 PDF

This Recommendation describes the concepts and the aspects of management and control (MC) components that are common to both software defined networking (SDN) [ITU-T G.7702] and automatically switched optical network (ASON) [ITU-T G.7703] to control transport networks. This encompasses common aspects of:

– transport resources and their representation;

– MC components used to describe architecture for application of SDN and ASON to the control of transport networks;

– control communication aspects;

– common management aspects of MC components;

– identifiers with respect to naming and addressing, which includes the separation of identity from location.
