The U.S. government’s crackdown on Huawei is starting to impact its involvement in standards-defining bodies and open source communities.

The group released the draft of its SD-WAN service definition standard, with the official publication of the standard expected in July following board approval.

“If I have a threat space that is bounded and measurable, why wouldn’t you go whole hog after it? That is precisely what zero trust and microsegmentation does,” says

For the test, Pluribus created an SDN fabric across the three edge sites with two network slices to show the impact latency has on application performance.

The new E-LAN services are MEF CE (carrier Ethernet) 2.0 certified and available in almost 300 markets.

Cisco's expanded push into 5G and WiFi 6 is leading the vendor into wider opportunities outside of its traditional domain.

The India-based provider already has two SD-WAN services: one based on its own application-aware WAN technology and another based on Versa Networks tech.

MEF’s Dan Pitt on how the forum is accelerating the availability of automated, multi-technology services through the abstraction of lifecycle service orchestration.

Juniper’s Julius Francis discusses how open source must evolve and consider security, operationalizing, management, and monetization to serve use cases and customers.

The tech giant announced several new Azure cloud services ahead of its annual Build developers’ conference next week.

The open source groups already work together. But they also have their own initiatives related to NFV and edge computing, among other technologies.

With the expansion, customers will have access to fiber, broadband, 4G wireless, and 5G connectivity options depending on availability.

Nineteen vendors took part in tests that placed a strong focus on synchronization for 5G and the 5G readiness of multi-vendor transport networks.

The company also updated its operating system to power what it calls security-driven networking, including new features for SD-WAN, edge, and multi-cloud environments.

The reference designs offer a peek inside the brains of operators, Timon Sloane, VP of marketing and ecosystem at the Open Networking Foundation, told SDxCentral in an interview.

This is the first PoC for the provider's newest portfolio addition, which provides SD-WAN and security on top of an OpenMSA framework.

The OpenDaylight project recently released its tenth iteration, adding support for optical transport networking, WAN connectivity and routing, and cloud and edge deployments.

The company issued patches for vulnerabilities found in vCloudDirector for service providers as well as VMware EXSi, Workstation, and Fusion.

Programmable chip and analytics software are helping deliver on the 5G promises of lower latency and higher bandwidth with segment routing and in-band network telemetry.

The network operator is positioning the marketplace for two distinct use cases: turnkey applications and self-service APIs.

Microsoft contributed the open source Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) to OCP in 2016. It uses the Linux kernel, and it allows cloud operators to share
