Network softwarization will permit the dynamic configuration of the transport infrastructure, in order to facilitate the adaptation needed for future advanced services. However, the promise of full flexibility can only be achieved through proper levels of abstraction and by means of normalized interfaces and service and device models. This paper presents the SDN architecture that is being defined by Telefónica for the management and control of its transport networks, including a variety of technologies such as IP, optics and microwave radio links, pursuing a standard-based approach for an effective and future-proof introduction of softwarized operations.
