Summary

The orchestration in next generation network evolution (NGNe) is of great significance, because it takes into consideration the coexistence and corporation of traditional networks, such as the next generation network (NGN) and the network enabled by software-defined networking/network function virtualization (SDN/NFV). This Recommendation provides orchestration scenarios in NGNe, specifies the general requirements of the orchestration in NGNe, and also introduces its capabilities from the perspective of NGN evolution and the coordination of NGNs and the networks implemented by SDN and NFV technologies.
