Some Concept Tweaking• Access ring G.8032 v2• G.8032 R-APS SF trigger• Auto topology• Access Ethernet - scaling is key• Operational tools• Access-Core NNI resilience (G.8032, MC-LAG)• Traffic hand over options 8

Modular MSP Portal integration • Performance SLA statistics Basic • Cloud based low maintenance • Maintenance window integration • Customer controlled Interactive • Loops • Ether Sam • MEP • configuration changes • Customer real-time stats • Provisioning control • average utilization Future • existing allocated bandwidth • peak utilization For both CIR & EIR traffic. • Support complex DC, VN9

Dynamic Capacity & Virtual Networking • One bandwidth pool DC • Per service bandwidth adjustment • Verification + automatic adjustment • Spin up customer virtual network Virtual Networking • Visibility access - services & SDN future • Services E2E control • Develop with SDN goal in mind • Common API multi vendor • Programmability to any application • Less dependency on vendor NMS10

Conclusion• Modular MSP provides: • Freedom to build what’s best for our customers • Network remains the engine – fully componentized supporting: • Key focus advanced services and applications • Future proof to bring in new industry developments • A high tech end to end common access to serve all services 11
