LSO Interlude APIs address the service-orchestration to service-orchestration layer of inter-provider interactions, like performance, state, and dynamic control. The service orchestration functionality is analogous to the OSS functions of a service provider.
Examples of Service Provider interactions handled by LSO Interlude APIs:
See MEF’s Technical Standards & Educational Materials for LSO Interlude
LSO Interlude is the Interface Reference Point between the service orchestration layers of disparate service providers who connect to provide access or transit services for a service provider’s end subscriber.
MEF 3.0 Workshop – End-to-End Service Automation – LSO Framework and API Standardization — 2019 Nov
Product Portfolio: APIs, LSO Interlude
MEF’s LSO Reference Architecture guides agile development of standardized LSO APIs that enable end-to-end automation of MEF 3.0 services across multiple providers and over multiple network technology domains (e.g., Optical Transport, CE, IP, 5G, etc.).
I want to investigate further. See all LSO Interlude resources:
Starting first with MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet services, and later for additional MEF 3.0 services such as IP services, LSO Interlude APIs will drive frictionless inter-provider service operations, resulting in dynamic and automated service delivery and management for off-net subscriber locations.
Participating in discussions with subject-matter experts provides the insight you need to understand where the service provider community is headed and to guide the service provider stakeholders in the right direction.
