This talk is about the real life experiences and challenges of taking a multi-vendor NFV deployment into commercial operation. On the 9th of March NTT DOCOMO went live with a fully virtualized multi-vendor packet core solution running on an Ericsson provided cloud platform, utilizing COTS hardware. This talk will focus on the success and the areas that we see are in need of more attention from the community to achieve full interoperability across vendors. Beside, a few areas of enhancements to OPNFV to achieve a full carrier grade solution will be discussed as well, like Doctor and Promise.
