During the meeting, it was confirmed that OB-STEER can officially start work. The project provides greater efficiencies for automation and traffic optimization within the network to help preserve the end-user’s experience. Building on Broadband Forum’s upcoming technical report WT-474, OB-STEER is creating a reference implementation of the Subscriber Session Steering architecture to deliver flexible, on-demand connectivity and simplify network management.
Interoperability of Subscriber Session Steering is of utmost importance as it will be implemented in access network equipment of various vendors. OB-STEER therefore aims to reach out to vendors to agree on implementation options that remain compatible.
