The topic itself is very interesting and especially the angle taken by Roberto where he uses the Anti-Pattern pattern. Looking at solutions from the other angle than usually gives you new views to an area and opens up for new thoughts. This is what I experienced during the talk.
Roberto had identified the following Myths:
- Network Transparancy
- Network abstraction hides information. In worst case the hidden information prevents further development of services using other features not exposed by the abstraction framework.
- Solution to Network abstraction is to introduce a flat architecture with a gradually increasing level of abstraction. Thus a service can use the highest abstraction level interface possible still meeting the feature needs. If a more finer grained interface is needed that is available by other interfaces in the flat architecture. You could view this as a stair of abstracted interfaces.
- Open API
- Today Open APIs are focused on call control or messaging type of interfaces
- Look at the importance of data and data representation. Google's main business is profiling and collection of data in order to provide targeted advertisements.
- Network with Quality
- The QoS issue impossible in network of networks
- Look at P2P where the intelligence is in the edge.
- Data Networks and Services it is hard if not impossible to keep the network quality promise (or SLA).
- Cloud computing and WebOS was brought up by Roberto. WebOS could very well be sticky service many operators are looking for.
- The Need for Centralization
- IMS and SDP is traditionally seen as a winning proposition. These are centralized solutions.
- Google and Amazon are reinventing the service platform concept and are exploiting the Client-Server paradigm much beyond what an operator could do.
- Operators can use WebOS and P2P much more to create a decentralized network providing sticky services.
