At the Spring 2025 Meeting, the OB-STEER team called for interested parties to get involved and help progress the existing open source code base. The OB-STEER project started with code that was developed for last year‘s Broadband Forum Innovation Demonstrations at Network X. Building on Broadband Forum’s working text WT-474, OB-STEER aims to create a reference implementation of the Subscriber Session Steering architecture to deliver flexible, on-demand connectivity and simplify network management.
Interoperability of Subscriber Session Steering is of utmost importance as it will be implemented in access network equipment of various vendors. OB-STEER therefore aims to reach out to vendors to agree on implementation options that remain compatible.
If you would like to get involved and contribute to the project, please contact hagen.woesner@bisdn.de.
