Summary

In addition to Internet access, the demand for home broadband service continues to grow, due to streaming video, cloud storage, and other cloud applications. However, the provisioning and operation of broadband services and cloud services are completely independent nowadays. It is difficult to make coordination between the service management and operation management. As a result, it is currently impossible to realize automatic provisioning and operation. These issues can be addressed by enhancing vBNG's ability to integrate with cloud services, ensuring consistency between broadband access services and cloud access services. This Recommendation aims to introduce the scenarios of vBNG for cloud access. The requirements and signalling procedures of vBNG for cloud access is also claimed.
