MEF publishes SD-WAN standard

MEF는 SD-WAN 서비스와 그 서비스 속성을 정의하는 글로벌 표준을 발표하였다.

SD-WAN 서비스 속성 및 서비스(MEF 70)는 최근 연례 회원 회의에서 MEF 회원국의 공식 승인을 받았으며 MEF 이사회의 비준을 받았다.

​

​MEF 70은 다음의 내용을 정의하고 있다.

MEF has published a global standard defining an SD-WAN service and its service attributes. SD-WAN Service Attributes and Services (MEF 70) was officially approved by MEF members and ratified by the MEF board of directors at the organization's recent annual members meeting.

SD-WAN service standardization has been conducted within the context of the MEF 3.0 Global services Framework. It is part of an initiative to define, deliver, and certify a family of dynamic carrier Ethernet (CE), optical transport, IP, SD-WAN, and security services orchestrated across automated networks using LSO (Lifecycle Service Orchestration) APIs.

"We want to thank the SD-WAN team for the incredible job they have done in bringing this industry-first standard to market in a timely manner," said Nan Chen, president, MEF. "Combining standardized SD-WAN services with dynamic high-speed underlay connectivity services - including carrier Ethernet, optical transport, and IP - enables service providers to deliver powerful MEF 3.0 hybrid networking solutions with unprecedented user- and application-directed control over network resources and service capabilities."

The SD-WAN standard describes requirements for an application-aware, over-the-top WAN connectivity service that uses policies to determine how application flows are directed over multiple underlay networks irrespective of the underlay technologies or service providers who deliver them.​
