GN2/GN3 results so far: Multi-domain services’ definition Multi-domain services definition Manual or semi manual service deliv Multi-domain toolsets for

– Topology modeling – Monitoring the physical/logic – Provisioning – Implementation of specific m – Developed as silos with no coher

support pp

TF-NOC is an opportunity: To exchange expertise, best-practic processes in NOCs processes in NOCs To define standards’ based NOC bu seamless adoption of multi-domain very

al infrastructure multi-domain workflows rent requirements from NOCs on operational

ces, methodologies for optimizing internal usiness processes and OSS functions for the services
