1. Scope
This report documents the results of ITU-T Focus Group on Future Networks (FGFN), summarizing FG-FN activities since its first meeting in June 2009. It also
provides proposals for future FG-FN activities from April 2010.
2. Purpose and Objectives
According to the decision by WTSA-08 at Johannesburg, the title of SG13 in the
new study period (2009-2012) is “Future Networks including Mobile and NGN”
reflecting the importance of “Future Networks” agreed by WTSA -08. It means that
the SG13 has a leading role to investigate the issue on Future Networks in the new
study period. In particular, a new Question on Future Networks has been approved as
Q.21/13.
Future Networks have become a part of global agenda through lots of research
activities such as IRTF (International), GENI/FIND (US), FP7/FIRE (EU), CNGI
(China), AKARI/NwGN (Japan), FIF (Korea) as well as standardization works in
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6. The academic community expressed their strong interest in
collaborating with the ITU-T on this subject during the last ITU-T Kaleidoscope
event in May 2008. However, it is understood all these activities are in their early
stage of investigation. Taking into consideration the importance of global
connectivity and interoperability between devi ces, networks, services and
applications, global harmonization between these different activities are extremely
important and necessary to build up globally interoperable future ICT
infrastructures.
ITU-T SG13 envisions that the role of the Focus Group will involve interaction with
these various research activities, and familiarize ITU-T and standardization
communities with emerging attributes of future networks.
Having this in mind, at January 2009 meeting SG13 established the Focus Group to
document results that would be helpful for developing Recommendations for future networks.
To achieve this objective the Focus Group was mandated to

gather new ideas relevant to Future Networks and identify potential study areas on
Future Networks,

describe visions of the Future Networks,

identify a timeframe of Future Networks,

identify potential impacts on standards development, and

suggest future ITU-T study items and related actions.

5. Key summary of Activities
FG-FN was established at January 2009 SG13 meeting under ITU-T A.7 guidelines. Under
the chairperson and two vice-chairpersons, it had its first kick-off meeting in June 2009,
and four face-to-face meetings including the kick-off. Since it was very important to
collaborate with academics, FG meeting was held by visiting various future network
events in all over the world, i.e., Europe, North America and Asia. Through this activity
various information were collected as verbal information as well as written contributions
[see contribution list in Appendix 2]. They are recorded in uniform format as project
descriptions.
On this information FG is now developing consolidated vision document and three
documents on key technology area, network virtualization, identification a nd energy
savings of networks. FG found that new requirements such as even more dynamic, smart
and flexible network management is becoming important. Some argue this is a mighty
driving force of network virtualization, and this can also be important for th e second new
requirements, sustainability such as energy savings. These emerging requirements can be
as important as, or sometimes even more important than, traditional requirements such as
reliability.
Besides the project descriptions and the four documents (consolidated vision and three
specific areas) mentioned above, FG has developed t wo documents, report on activities
and proposals document (this document) and terminology. These seven documents have
been submitted to April 2010 SG13 meeting for consideration.
5.1.
FG-FN Management
FG was organized as a single entity and did not establish internal groups, e.g., working groups.
All the activities were managed by the Chairperson, Mr. Naotaka Morita (NTT, Japan) and two
vice-chairpersons, Mr. Hyoung-Jun Kim (ETRI, Korea) and Prof. Alex Galis (UCL, UK). However,
because of the health problem of Mr. Morita, Mr. Takashi Egawa (NEC, Japan) became the acting
chairperson at the 3rd Geneva meeting and took over the chairmanship from 4th Tokyo meeting.
5.2.
Methodology
The FG work required broad survey of academic/industry activities, and broad
participation from such activities as well as ITU-T members. To this end FG decided to
have four F2F meetings by visiting various research activity events all over the world. The
first meeting was with European project FIRE in Lulea, Sweden. The second meeting was
with GENI in Salt Lake, USA. The third meeting was with NGN -GSI in Geneva,
Switzerland. The fourth was with Future Network Testbed symposium in Tokyo, Japan.
The FG-FN was open to all ITU-T Member States, Sector Members and Associates as well
as any other universities, academic institutes, consortia, standards bodies and individuals.

As described in Figure 2, FG-FN developed these documents in a different way from
common methodology in standardization. In Common method use cases and scenarios are
collected, and in stage 1 requirements are described, in stage 2 architecture, and in stage 3
protocol. But in FG-FN where novel technologies are one of the key driver of this activity,
FG did its discussion and documentation in two ways. One is bottom -up approach in wich
FG collected the information of future network related activities, identified research areas
that may become key enabler/driver of future networks, and developed consolidated vision.
The other is top-down approach in which FG tried to describe the vision first by analyzing
social requirements.

Summary of FG Meetings
The following is a brief summary of the four FG-FN face-to-face meetings.

The First FG-FN meeting (OD-01)
o Framework of existing research activities in China, Europe, Korea, and Japan
were introduced. Framework of other regions’ activities should be taken into
account. Further inputs are expected.
o Two deliverables were identified to be produced by FG-FN, which are 1) Future
Networks: vision, concept, and requirements (Agreed scope and table of
contents were in FGFN-OD-05, editors are Myung-Ki Shin, ETRI and Daisuke
Matsubara, Hitachi) and 2) framework of network virtualization (title only,
editor is Sangjin Jeoung, ETRI).
o Based on contributions, initial thoughts on the design of future networks, i.e.,
concept, key characteristics, and requirements of Future Networks were
collected and published in FGFN-OD-06.
o Eleven technical inputs were summarized in “project description format,” which
are given in FGFN-OD-07. More inputs are expected to formulate specific
technology areas. The project description template is given in FGFN -OD-08.
o In order to create a useful and convincing Future Network vision, the meeting
agreed to review ongoing research activities from specific viewpoints of
technology in parallel with concept discussion.
o Target time frame of Future Networks to be dealt with by FGFN was clarified.
There was common understanding that the estimated target date for prototyping
and phased deployment of Future Networks should roughly fall between 2015
and 2020. This estimate is based on two factors: First, the status of current and
evolving technologies that would be employed in the experimentation and
-8TD 32 (WP 5/13)
development of FNs as presented by contributions to the Focus Group meeting.
Second, any novel development that might take place well beyond that estimate
is too speculative and is outside the mandate of this focus group.
o Working method of FG-FN was agreed, which is given in FGFN-OD-09.
o Chairman proposed tentative meeting plan, candidate tasks, and document
structure of FGFN. The meeting agreed to follow the proposals, which are given
in FGFN-OD-11.
o A vice chairman, Mr. Hyoung Jun KIM, ETRI Korea, was appointed. Further
volunteers for vice chairman are expected.
o Chairman was suggested to continue collocation meetings with existi ng research
organizations.
o Two draft Recommendations which had been produced by Q.21 were raised for
information. Since FGFN agreed to contribute Q.21 work in a comprehensive
manner, FGFN believed that Q.21 should wait for FGFN inputs before further
advancing the work on two drafts by freezing the editing process.
o Liaison statements were produced to reply to incoming liaison queries including
ones previously received by SG13 on the matter of FGFN. They are given in
FGFN-OD-10.
o Thanks to the local supporters, FGFN participants joined FIRE –living lab
events in the same week.
o The FIRE - FGFN joint meeting was held in the morning of 2 July 2009.
Fabrizio Sestini, EC, DG INFSO and Naotaka Morita, chairman of FGFN
chaired the meeting. The agenda is given in FGFN-TD-05. Documents are given
in FGFN-TD-09. Chairman of FGFN made three presentations and FIRE experts
made three presentations. Experts on both sides exchanged their views including
mutual possible benefit of collaboration. Although the meeting did not ide ntify
any urgent need for ITU-T standardization with regard to FIRE activities, the
meeting agreed to continue information exchange and collaboration.

The second FG-FN meeting (OD-13)
o Participating in and gaining information about the 6th Global Environmen t for
Network Innovations (GENI) Conference (GEC6) thanks to the understanding of
the GENI Project Office (GPO).
o Clarifying the scope of Future Networks by confirming the target timeframe,
clarifying the baseline of the study, and describing the relationsh ip with legacy
networks. The agreed text is given in the “vision” document in OD -16. The
meeting also agreed to consider materials, which are packed in OD -16, as
candidates to be incorporated into the “vision” document. OD -06, which was
compiled at the last meeting, also contains candidate materials. Experts will
discuss the document structure and possible content of the “vision” document
via e-mail to settle the issue at the next meeting in January 2010 in Geneva.
o Developing the first framework document of a potential new study area, which
is on network virtualization, with the definition of terminology, initiation of
architectural discussion, and implementation examples. The draft is given in
OD-17.
o Initiating investigation of two new study areas: identifiers related to Future
Networks and their processes, and technologies of energy saving networks. They
are given in OD-18 and OD-19, respectively.
-9TD 32 (WP 5/13)
o Collecting six new project descriptions and relevant forums and organization
information, which are given in OD-20 and OD-21.
o Reviewing Future Network activities such as the Future Internet Design (FIND)
project sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), emerging
virtual network research of the IRTF, EU FP7 Management and Service -aware
Networking Architectures (MANA) group, and the ETSI ISG Autonomic/SelfManaging Multi-Service Future Networks (AFI) group.
o Nominating a new vice chairman, Professor Alex Galis of University College
London (UCL).
o Establishing future meeting schedules. The third meeting is 26-28 January 2010
in Geneva, Switzerland. The fourth meeting is tentatively announced as 29
March – 2 April 2010 in Tokyo, Japan.

The third FG-FN meeting (OD-23)
o An analysis of various visions was presented as huge step forward in direction
of description of motivation and vision in FNVision document, where also new
table of content was agreed.
o Based on contributions attributes, problem space, and some use cases was
explored on network virtualization. Some fundamental questions were raised
from network management point of view and the necessity to explore the issue
was recognized.
o By introducing materials on introduction, capabilities etc., the image of energy
savings of networks was clarified.
o TDs of a SG13 rapporteur stimulated a discussion on the meanin g of clean-slate.
It was noted that there are issues that cannot, need not, or virtually impossible
to change in future networks, and it was agreed to develop a short list of
questions/issues that clarifies the problem, what are the trials in the past and
what are the pros and cons of them.
o Collecting of one new project descriptions which is given in OD -30.
o New vice chairman, Professor Alex Galis of University College London (UCL)
attend the meeting. The announcement was made at the SG13 plenary on
January 29, 2010.
o Established the next meeting schedule. The fourth meeting is in 29 March – 2
April 2010 in Tokyo, Japan.

The fourth FG-FN meeting (OD-32)
o It was agreed to propose to April SG13 meeting to extend FG lifespan for 12
month, that is, until June 2011, based on the recognition that it is necessary to
review the information collected and to document integrated vision, and to assist
ITU-T continue to be a focal point of future network standardization.
o Based on the contributions and discussions based on the summary of FGFN
mailing list discussions, the meeting understood that candidate concept such as
even more dynamic, smart and flexible network management (which can be the
justification of network virtualization) and sustainability such as energy savin gs
are emerging as important requirements of telecommunication networks. They
were recognized as important candidates for the update of FN vision document,
and based on the discussion on other contributions the document was improved.
- 10 TD 32 (WP 5/13)
o During the meeting, the definition of network virtualization was revised in order
to provide bridge between network virtualization technology and other emerging
services, such as cloud computing. Also, uses cases based on mobility
perspective were investigated and incorporated into the framework document.By
analysing the IP address scheme in mobile environment, a set of requirements
for future networks was added to identification document.
o Based on contributions, descriptions and categorization of current energy saving
technologies for networks, and possible future technologies were added to
FNenergy document.
o It was agreed to develop terminology document by collecting definitions from
other FG-FN documents.
o Collected one new project description, MOFI, which is given in OD -41.
o It was announced that the Chairman, Mr. Naotaka Morita (NTT, Japan) steps
down because of his health problem. The meeting agreed that Mr. Takashi
Egawa (NEC, Japan) takes over the chairmanship.
o It was agreed to try to have a co-located meeting with FP7 event in June 14-18
in Florence, Italy. Backup is the same time period but in Geneva.
In addition intensive discussion was held on the mailing list of FG ( fgfn@list.itu.int ).

Accomplishments
5.4.1.
Diversity of Participants
The FG attracted a number of FN experts from various researchers in communications
sectors and engaged with a worldwide array of FN forums. FG also visited various
activities and collected information. The work resulted in establishing productive and
continuing collaboration with various. As for the research activities FG collected
information from European, US, Brazil, China, Japan, Korean activities. FG also
established relationship with SDOs, ISO/IEC JCT1 SC6 and ETSI/ISG AFI. In particular
JTC1 SC6 regularly participated our activity in person.
These relationships, many of which have not previously been involved with ITU -T, proved
invaluable in progressing the FN work and established new relationships for ITU-T’s FN
standardization work.
Refer to Appendix I for participation diversity.
5.4.2.
Key findings
This paragraph needs to update to align vision document.
FG learned that new requirements for telecommunications are emerging. Even more dynamic, smart
and flexible network management is becoming important, which can become a mighty driving force
of network virtualization technology through virtualizing various system resources. Some
participants argue that this will become important in future ICT system where computing and
telecommunications are tightly coupled, though FG has not yet reached its consensus. This
requirement can also become important to realize the second new requirement, sustainability such
as energy savings of networks themselves or carbon-free operation. Traditional requirements such
as reliability will be important in future networks, but FG found that such new requirements may
have the same, sometimes even more, importance in future networks.
- 11 TD 32 (WP 5/13)
FG carefully defined the concept of network virtualization and investigated how to realize emerging
services by using network virtualization. It has reached rough consensus that network virtualization
is an important technology for designing, developing, and evaluating the innovative core
technologies for Future Networks.
Can we add some ‘key findings’ on identification and energy savings?
5.4.3.
Focus Group Deliverable Reports
The FG-FN reports/deliverables were highly ambitious in the sense that they try to collect
wide variety of information, to review and to aggregate them and to describe the impact of
them on ITU-T standardization activities. The material contained in the series of six
reports provides an excellent foundation for the FG deliverables, in particular in the area
of vision and concepts of Future Networks. However, further work is needed before the
full objectives of the FG are met, and the results can be effectively transferred to SG 13
and other ITU-T Study Groups for further consideration.
A summary of the FG-FN deliverable reports are shown in Table 1.

6. Proposals on future Activities
FG has collected wide variety of information by establishing relationship with other future
network related research activities. It is now analyzing the information and has started
documentation, though much intensive work is obviously necessary to deliver high -quality
deliverables.
FG therefore proposes SG13 to extend FG for 12 month. The main focus of this period
will be to analyze the collected information and to produce high -quality deliverables.
Documents that have reached enough maturity will be handed to SG13 immediately.
This extension will also enable FG to maintain the information exchange channel it has
established with other future network related activities, e.g., ETSI, and will contribute
ITU-T to be a focal point on future network standardization.
- 13 TD 32 (WP 5/13)
6.1.
Future meetings
Visiting Future Network related events to have FG meetings was found very effective to
collect information and to make deeper discussion. FG therefore plans to have collocated
meeting by visiting FN related event all over the world.
Besides these activities FG will use extensive use of teleconferences, email discussions.
7. Conclusions
The FG-FN proposes that it should be allowed to continue its work until June 2011 and to
report to September 2011 SG13 meeting at which time the FG will provide well developed
and stable set of deliverables outlined in its TOR.
