Overview
The CNTT (Common NFVI Telco Task Force) launched officially in June. Its mission is to define a common NFV Infrastructure to simplify the development and deployment of virtualized networking application for the telecom industry. The group held its first community wide F2F meeting with around 80 vendor and operator attendees, with the objective of gathering requirements for the contents of the Release 2 document.
GSMA and LF Networking are excited to announce that the next F2F meeting is schedule to follow the ONS EU Summit in Antwerp. This meeting will be a great opportunity to advance the Reference Model work, continue to refine the Reference Architecture definitions, and address implementation considerations for OPNFV and the OPNFV Verification Program (OVP). This will be a hands-on meeting, so please come prepared to work and propose solutions.
