The Open XR Optics Forum published a Management Requirements White Paper that provides an in-depth evaluation of the management interface and API requirements essential for advancing the development and adoption of next generation advanced pluggable transceivers, including Open XR optics products and services. Seventeen authors from 13 forum member companies contributed to the document.
- Relevance to Next-Generation Pluggable Transceivers: The white paper’s findings are crucial for managing all next-generation advanced pluggable transceivers, ensuring seamless integration and interoperability across multi-vendor environments.
- Focus on Multivendor Integration: Emphasizing the importance of decoupling host and module functionalities, the white paper lays the groundwork for a multivendor operational environment and seamless automation of Open XR Optics networks.
- Alignment with Industry Standards: The document ensures that Open XR management requirements are reflected in API and data model definitions, aligning closely with existing industry standards to facilitate smooth network evolution.
- Future Steps: Recommendations for further evaluation and standards activities include analyzing potential gaps in the OpenConfig definition and propose extensions to OpenConfig to support XR Optics functionality.
