Body: Dear Colleagues,

The Broadband Forum is developing an architecture, functional modules, and 
interface definitions for Metro Compute Networking to outline new cloud-based 
broadband networks that connect isolated edge sites as one cloud to serve edge 
computing services. 

In the Broadband Forum meeting of 13th of December, 2022, an introduction to 
ongoing IETF work in the areas of service routing and compute-awareness was 
provided. It was agreed that BBF WT-491 will need suitable solutions for 
service routing that can be incorporated as protocol recommendations into 
realizations of BBF WT-491. Given our interest in these ongoing activities and 
drafts, participants will work within the IETF according to IETF processes, to 
help progress relevant work in this area. Please keep us apprised of progress 
of these activities and the associated drafts. 

Further, we would like to inform you that our SDN/NFV Work Area is continuing 
to develop the interface definitions for Metro Compute Networking. Once the 
architecture and functional descriptions reach a level of maturity, we plan to 
share these with the IETF for review and comment.  Comments from the IETF may 
be made via a liaison or BBF members may comment directly.

Enclosed to this liaison you can find the BBF TR-466 that reports the use cases 
and the high level requirements for the Metro Compute Networking.

Please see below for information on our next meetings.

Sincerely,
Lincoln Lavoie, 
Broadband Forum Technical Committee Chair
