Subject/title: Requirements for quantum key distribution network orchestration in support of QoS assurance
Status: Under study 
Approval process: AAP
Type of work item: Recommendation
Version: New
Equivalent number: -
Timing: 2027-07 (Medium priority)
Liaison: ITU-T SG11, SG12, SG17, ETSI ISG QKD, ISO/IEC JTC3

Summary: This Recommendation ITU-T Y.QKDN-qos-req-or specifies the requirements for quantum key distribution network (QKDN) orchestration in support of quality of service (QoS) assurance. This Recommendation describes the QoS assurance–related capabilities expected from the orchestration function to enable consistent QoS for QKDN services. It includes high-level requirements for QKDN orchestration capabilities and functional requirements that apply to QKDN orchestration in both single-provider and multi-provider deployment scenarios.
