The telecom company has stated that this new effort will be instrumental in reducing the overall operational costs and improving the broadband service activation times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CORD is a combination of both NFV and SDN-based software that will enable the company\u2019s Central Office in enhancing its flexibility, data center economics and cloud agility. Adam Dunstan, vice president of SDN\/NFV engineering for CenturyLink stated that the CORD concept has huge value in applying the design to DSL networks and will aid in a larger effort of migrating to software-based network architecture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA lot of the previous talk around CORD in fixed line access has been around GPON, but we have done this for DSL,\u201d Dunstan said. \u201cWe see CORD as a key part of our modernization program and part of getting a unified access infrastructure.\u201d Dunstan further stated that CORD would provide CenturyLink with a common architecture for using on any last-mile network types like copper-based DSL or fiber-based Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen go and roll out DSL services, we have a certain bill of materials, which is quite different than the bill of material for equipment when we roll out GPON services,\u201d Dunstan said. \u201cAs we move towards this style of architecture where we\u2019re using white box switches and services, we end up with a uniform bill of materials irrespective of what access means we use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note that CenturyLink and AT&amp;T are the only internet providers implementing CORD at present. The latest findings point to a 70 percent probability in respondents plan for deploying CORD in their Smart COs. CORD will enable CenturyLink to acquire a platform for accommodating all of its cheap internet services, thereby using the architecture for rewarding other network partners alongside broadband.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2207\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2207\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2207\" class=\"wp-image-2207 size-medium\" title=\"Digital Subscriber Line \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-1-e1486618638204-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"Cheap Internet\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><em>Improving DSL Services<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The telecom company\u2019s new proposal with CORD comes ahead as a major effort to completely virtualize its IP core network by 2019.
