    Hi everyone,

    I've been looking for some reliable information on which Open APIs are the most used around the world when it comes to network provisioning, especially for big telcos.
    Though I am no expert like everyone else in this community, I am highly interested in discovering how others are structuring/planning their provisioning services today, as well as how they plan to in the future in order to provision more various types of devices than today.

    Thanks. I am looking forward to some enlightening discussions on this topic.

    Hi Seoungkyoung, 

       We have been working on a model where network domains (e.g. Transport, media, IP, wireless, etc) expose their capabilities as a Service via TMF APIs towards the BSS, hiding the resource level such that no BSS need to configure/manage/assure/etc the resources (eg.supplier).   We have created best practices on the best service fulfillment API to use depending on the service type (does the service require physical construction, is it just a software configuration, is a complex or simple service, etc).  

       I suggest you review  IG1224 NaaS Service Fulfillment Guidelines v3.0.0 
    Best regards..... Johanne
