Future considerations
 Active liaisons
Union of the IP/MPLS Forum and the
Broadband Forum
 We develop multi-service broadband packet networking
specifications addressing interoperability, architecture and
management. Our work enables home, business and
converged broadband services, encompassing customer,
access and backbone networks.
Broadband Forum Scope
Why Unite?
 Both the Broadband Forum and IP/MPLS Forum were focused
on driving the evolution to next generation IP networks and
empowering fixed mobile convergence evolution
 The work of each organization complimented the other
– With the Broadband Forum's focus spanning from broadband
network to digital home management, and the work of the
IP/MPLS Forum primarily addressing the core and access
aggregation
 Many shared members– The majority of Broadband Forum and IP/MPLS Forum service
provider members have MPLS based core networks deployed and
there is a keen interest in this MPLS work continuing and
developing.
 Expanding the Broadband Forum’s objectives to encompass
the next phase of IP/MPLS Forum work ensures seamless
broadband network optimization and convergence for the
industry.
What are the Union Benefits?
Combining our efforts we are Pursuing our common vision with greater resources
and shared expertise
 Driving Quality of Experience (QoE) measures
throughout the network to better serve application
requirements
 Specifying seamless end-to-end solutions
 Fostering greater interoperability
 Defining and facilitating the adoption of next
generation IP networks to deliver the broadband
experience to users in the home, in the office and on
the street
 Engineering effective solutions for emerging
applications such as mobile backhaul, IPTV, gaming,
P2P applications and applications that have not yet
been realized
The focus on technology-agnostic solutions
hasn’t changed
 The focus on technology agnostic solutions
continues
– Though MPLS is clearly of critical importance to the
industry, the Broadband Forum continues to welcome
contributions and work involving other technologies as the
industry continues to evolve
 Liaison and cooperative work with organizations
such as IETF, ITU-T and Metro Ethernet Forum
remain strong
 The strength of the Broadband Forum continues to
be the organization’s ability to focus on developing
specifications that best serve the service &
application requirements of carriers and their
customers
BBF Contributions
Broadband Forum Strategic Objectives
 Expand and address physical layer options for
greater performance
 Optimize IPTV delivery, performance and customer
experience
 Continue to expand our remote management
specifications
 Act as the wireline advocate in FMC requirements
 Build on the IP/MPLS work, particularly on mobile
backhaul
 Address IPv6 considerations in all our work
 Incorporate energy efficiency considerations into our
specifications
 Continue to liaise and coordinate with the wider
industry - SDO’s, fora and consortia
The Broadband Network Architecture must
be able to handle all types of access options
