What is MEF LSO?
• LSO provides for the orchestrated management and control of
Third Network Connectivity Services
• LSO Reference Architecture characterizes the management and
control domains and entities that enable the cooperative LSO
capabilities
• LSO overcomes existing complexity by defining product, service,
and resource abstractions that hide the complexity of underlying
technologies and network layers from the applications and users
of the services
4
Orchestration in LSO
• Connectivity Services are orchestrated across all internal and
external network domains from one or more network operators
• Encompasses all network domains that require coordinated endto-end management and control to deliver connectivity services
• Within each provider domain, the infrastructure may be
implemented with WAN technologies, as well as NFV and/or SDN
• Not only dramatically decreases the time to establish and modify
the characteristics of the Connectivity Service, but also assure the
overall service quality and security for these services.

LSO Reference Architecture and Framework
• Provides a layered architecture that characterizes the
management and control domains and entities that enable the
cooperative LSO capabilities for Connectivity Services.
• High level operational threads describing user stories of
orchestrated Connectivity Service behavior as well as interactions
among management entities, expressing the vision of the MEF
LSO capabilities
• The management interface reference points that characterize
interactions between LSO ecosystem components are identified in
the reference architecture
