Real-World Open Networking. Part 4 – Interoperability: Problems with API’s

API, Application Programming Interface, Interoperability, Open Networking, Open Source, Technology NEWS, thoughts /

In our last post we looked at different general patterns of standards compliance in Open Network solutions. In this post we drill down another layer to look at interoperability at the Application Program Interface (API) level, which creates issues at a level beyond standards. As we’ve mentioned previously, network equipment has been focused on interface […]

Real-World Open Networking. Part 5: Dissonance between Networks and Software Domains

Development, devops, Interoperability, Open Networking, software, Technology NEWS, thoughts /

In our last post we finished up a detailed examination of different aspects of Interoperability. In this post, we will analyse the different mindsets between traditional networking domains and software development domains, explain why there is often built-in dissonance. Whilst Open Network solutions require the integration of network and software components and practices, at the

In our last post we unpacked Interoperability, including Open Standards. Continuing this theme, we will look at how solution developers implement standards compliance and the problems that arise. Mandating that vendors (and internal systems) comply with Open Standards is a strategy used by organisations to drive interoperability. The assumption is that Open Standards compliant components

In our last post we described the attributes of an Open Network Solution. In this post we unpack what surely is the “Holy Grail” of Open Networks: Interoperability. Interoperability is defined as: Bottom line, interoperability means that I can freely substitute components, i.e. If I have Component X in my Open Networking solution, then in

In our last post in this series, we completed our coverage of the third domain of Open Networking, that of Open Network Integration. To wrap up our overall Open Networking series, we begin a set of posts that address the practical reality of delivering Open Network solutions in the current marketplace, and particularly focusing on
