1. Welcome! Thank You! Good morning! Welcome to our CORD Build event!
We have a very good turn out and the distribution of participants is also very good:
folks from service providers, from big vendors, smaller vendors and integrators, and from research. We are very happy with the registrations.
Thank You for your participation – I know there are too many open source projects and too many events and not easy to travel and so really appreciate your interest and participation.
I also see lot of people who have been already contributing to different parts of CORD and I want to take the opportunity to thank you all! We could not have come this far without your help.

2. Special Thanks to Our Event Sponsors

As you know ONF has a large ecosystem that supports ONF and contributes to ONF projects including CORD.
I especially want to acknowledge all the help and support we get from our service provider partners – we have 8 of them. They provide significant funding, use cases, trial opportunities and yes they also serve on ONF board providing direction.
Of course we also have leading vendors as our partners and we appreciate all their help and support as well.
BTW in my presentation, when I say we have done this and that, please remember it means we as a community has done this and that… I am speaking on behalf of the community.

4. State of CORD: A Platform for “The New Network Edge”
I want to share with you the state of CORD
It is emerging as a platform of choice for the new network edge…
I will describe what I mean…

5. “70% of operators worldwide are planning to deploy CORD”
Michael Howard IHS Markit
“Nearly 40% of all end-customers (residential, wireless and enterprise, collectively) will have service provided by COs or their equivalents using CORD by mid-2021”
Roz Roseboro Heavy Reading
Let me start with what a couple of analysts are saying about CORD…
Here is a study by Michael Howard of IHS that says 70% of operators worldwide are planning to deploy CORD…
And Heavy Reading Study finds 40% of all end-customers traffic will be carried by CORD.
If you take a minute to think about it, it is a big deal for an open source platform such as CORD which is still in its early days…
Please note the CORD project or ONF had noting to do with these studies – they were completely independent.

6. Why is CORD a Big Deal? Telco Service Providers + Cable Providers
Reinvent CO
GPON, XGS-PON, vCMTS
5G and Apps
Platform for New Network Edge
Mobile Edge Computing
Fog Computing
Providers, Vendors, Enterprises
You may ask why is CORD a big deal?
It is mostly because of service providers want to and have to reinvent the network edge…
We started our work on CORD with service providers especially AT&T that wanted to reinvent the CO – they want to build COs as Google, Amazon build their datacenters with the same economics and agility for creating services. [Acknowledge Tom A if he is in the audience.]
Soon we found out more service providers including Cable Operators got interested in CORD because CORD can be a platform for GPON, XGS-PON, vCMTS, and 5G...
Then we learned more providers and vendors are interested in CORD because it can also support Mobile Edge Computing.
And finally we believe even Fog Computing can use CORD as the base platform.
For all these use cases, CORD can be the enabling platform… And more and more providers and vendors of all types are getting interested in CORD and that is very exciting.
Providers + Vendors

7. Emerging Multi-Tier Cloud with New Network Edge
Public Clouds
Users
Edge Cloud
Telco Cloud
Subscriber experience dictated from here
Human Reaction time: ms
Latency to Centralized Cloud: – 400ms
Emerging Applications Require Edge Processing
AR visual overlays
Autonomous Vehicle Coordination
IoT Battery Life (50-75% improvement with edge processing)
Edge Processing is Vital
Another way to explain this excitement for CORD is to observe that service providers re building multi-tier clouds…
And the edge cloud is special and will undergo major transformation.
Today the edge cloud is represented by providers COs – they have evolved years and have many closed proprietary devices that are not programmable – they are a major source of Capex and Opex for service providers and a big barrier to innovation – they inhibit service providers from creating innovative new services even though these COs are great vantage point to offer value added services to end customers.
Especially if you look at the emerging apps that require low latency processing and low latency control loops, they require new network edge…

The Virtuous Cycle
I want to quickly summarize our journey from 2015 to now…
We did first demonstration of CORD as a use case of ONOS in 2014 or so and quickly realized CORD itself is a very powerful and important solutions platform.
And we are a big believer in this virtuous cycle – we should build platforms and solutions together. New Platforms enable new solutions and as you build these solutions you see opportunities to make the platform better. This has been a story of successful computing and computing platforms.
With CORD we have been building solutions in four areas:
R-CORD – for residential customers over GPON and XGS-PON
M-CORD – for mobile customers over various wireless and mobile wireless access
E-CORD for enterprises
A-CORD – for CORD operators to enable closed loop analytics
And this virtuous cycle has really worked very well for us.
I want to give you a quick glimpse of each – you will have opportunities to see lot more during the event – there are multiple sessions on each.

As I mentioned for R-CORD the focus is residential customers connected over access networks such as GPON and XGS-PON…
And we have been building these access devices with new approach and new economics…
That is built with merchant silicon and built with open design – OCP certified.
You can see the OLT devices are standard pizza boxes and all software control is extracted and implemented as services.

I want to say little bit more about our approach to Access Devices and Disaggregation.
As in the case of packet switches and routers, even OLT devices are going through disaggregation and SDN control and that is depicted here.
We have applied separation of control from forwarding and forwarding is implemented in a merchant silicon and control is implemented in software outside the box.
The software stack includes vOLT agent, ONOS, and a set of apps or services.
And in the current version to support a variety of OLT devices, we have created a hardware abstraction and software layer called VOLTHA so one can plug-in different OLT devices without having to change the software stack.
This trend is very similar to what has happened with packet switches…

R 4.1
We have been demonstrating CORD and various versions since 2014 and 2015… All these capabilities and services I mentioned we have demonstrated…
We did our first official open source release of CORD – the CORD platform almost 18 months ago. We have been doing releases every four months. And recently did Release 4.0. And we are about to do a mid cycle release called 4.1 – that is end of this month.
Release 4.1 will include all of R, E, M, and A CORD – all services and devices supported.
Now that these features and services are part of our release, you can count on them working out of the box assuming your configuration is the same or very similar to ours and you can expect support from the community.

New ONF's mission is to help network operators and service providers transform their networks into agile platforms for service delivery by leveraging open source SDN and NFV platforms, network disaggregation, and software defined standards.
We want to achieve this mission by building what we are calling "an open end to end innovation pipeline" to create integrated or complete solutions using various open source platforms and white boxes.
And then drive these solutions from POCs to lab trials to field trials to eventual production deployment. 
As we build integrated or complete solutions with many open source components or platforms, we have an opportunity to create software defined standards — standards that are based on operational open source software and experience with solutions based on this software and the standards that specify APIs and data and information models for inter-working of software components. 
The open innovation pipeline allows a vendor or a company to insert or plug-in its own innovation into the pipeline and get this innovation into a network operator’s production network with much less R&D investment and with much faster time to market.

The net result is that service providers and network operators get solutions that are easy to deploy and turn their networks into platforms for service delivery and vendors can get their innovations into production networks of their customers with significantly reduced R&D and faster time to market. This is the value the new ONF wants to bring to various stakeholders of our industry.
