Change always appears incremental until its too late. — Mike Walsh, Futurist

Big breakthroughs happen when what is suddenly possible…

… meets what is desperately needed. — Thomas Friedman, New York Times

Shift to data center architectures

General next generation access architectural principles

Simplify the Exchanges and Hub Sites by Applying Data Center Principles- Disaggregate big iron chassis systems and use modular, open hardware architectures- Utilize commodity hardware where possible (i.e., commodity servers, Ethernet switches,

etc.)

Apply NFV to Centralize Intelligence in the Cloud- Virtualize functions wherever possible (e.g., vCPE, vBNG, vOLT, etc.)- Centralize these functions in a scalable cloud environment

Utilize SDN to Create Highly Automated and Programmable Networks- Utilize open, standard APIs that integrate with multi-vendor SDN controllers - Enable user-driven networks

Implement Open Networking Architectures- Open hardware, software and management architectures - Avoid vendor lock-in
