requirements for these networks.
Creation of Focus Group on
Future Networks
Jan/2009
Question Q.21/13
a)
Y.FNvision – definitions, Values, Visions, General Concepts and
Requirements for Future Networks. General idea: “a network that is capable of
providing revolutionary services, capabilities and facilities that are hard to be
Proposed
Recommendations
provided by current network technologies”.
b)
Y.FNvirt – Requirements for network virtualization, as required for
Future Networks. This Recommendation will also investigate requirements,
scenarios and procedures for network virtualization.
Focus Group on Future Networks
The Focus Group aims to help advance the work of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T)
Study Groups, specially providing the basis for the work of Question 21/13 on Future Networks on Recommendation
development.
Differently than the work on ITU Study Groups, the Focus Group is open to all interested parties to collaborate on the
work, such as other standardization organizations, experts, individuals, academies, etc, who may not be members of
the ITU.
Scope of the Work:
– collect and identify visions of future networks, based on new technologies,
– assess the interactions between future networks and new services,
– familiarize ITU-T and standardization communities with emerging attributes of
future networks, and
– encourage collaboration between ITU-T and FN communities.
