scope:

This Recommendation gives:

an overview of the virtualized broadband network gateway (vBNG) comprising:

a) the concept of vBNG, including its definition, characteristics and general capabilities,

b) the framework for vBNG, which consists of control and data planes;

an interoperability testing (IOPT) framework for vBNG based on its the target areas;

IOPT requirements for vBNG.

NOTE - The IOPT requirements of vBNG should include those derived from analysis of typical use cases, which should address the need to verify cloud-related vBNG capabilities.
