Abstract

This article describes the testbed that has been built in the OpenRAN@Brasil project targeting the challenge of a multidomain orchestration architecture. Several components of the testbed are described and the topology of the sites at CPqD and RNP. Furthermore, a comparison was presented between the various open source orchestration solutions available in the community, such as: Aether, Nephio and EMCO. Finally, the preliminary results of the multidomain orchestration proposal through a pre-testbed virtual environment are presented.
