Resumen/Abstract

The talk will introduce ETSI TeraFlowSDN; an open, standards-based, and cloud-native SDN Controller that is specifically being designed and developed to cope with automation requirements imposed by 5G/6G and beyond. In that regard, the controller features not only network discovery and device configuration, but also telemetry collection, analytics, and automation capacities to enforce connectivity SLAs and prevent violations.
