Abstract:

As a solid foundation in the era of digital economy, the digital information infrastructure has the cloud-network convergence feature of network as the foundation, cloud as the core, network moving with the cloud, and cloud network integration. Based on the evolution of existing network technologies and the convergence innovation trend of infrastructure, this paper proposes a new super convergence networking scheme with the characteristics of fixed-mobile convergence, computing-network convergence and cloud-optical convergence. The proposed scheme with the cloud as the link realizes the connection of the access network, cloud access network, cloud intranet and inter cloud network, which provides an idea for promoting the integrated development of cloud and network. Meanwhile, each part of the scheme can develop independently, flexibly adapt to business requirements, and naturally adapt to the complex and uncertain evolution of new business in the future.

Key words: cloud-network convergence, fixed-mobile convergence, computing-network convergence, cloud-optical convergence
