Overview

Background & policy context:

The project SPARC « Split architecture carrier grade networks » is aimed at the investigation and implementation of a new split in the architecture of the Future Internet and its building blocks. The design of the new architecture will focus on the split of control, forwarding and data processing elements. The objective of the Split Architecture is a modularisation of logical and physical functionality in order to manage complexity.

Objectives:

Split Architecture will have a particular impact on the following areas:
• Separate optimisation of network and functional building blocks, e.g. application modules, controller software, forwarding engine
• Reduce dependencies on legacy protocols and design principles
• Lower market entry barriers
• Increase market volumes of modules
