Over the past decade, the communications industry has seen a steady ramp of automation in communications service provider (CSP) networks. The transport network has historically been operated and managed statically and defined by manual processes and proprietary protocols. With its greater complexities—particularly in the optical layers—transport was not the earliest adopter of network automation. However, CSPs understand that transport is an essential component of the end-to-end network and a critical component of automation.
