Campus Network Management-as-a-Service (CNaaS)

As managing campus networks requires repeatedly updating and configuring many devices remotely, the use of orchestration, automation and virtualisation (OAV) techniques is key for the success of campus network management services.

In order to facilitate such service, a CNaaS Service Definition Template/Checklist was developed and is now available for interested NRENs.
