Carrier-grade networks of the future are currently being standardized and designed under the umbrella name ofNext Generation Network(NGN). The goal of NGN is to provide a more flexible network infrastructure that supports not just data and voice traffic routing, but also higher level services and interfaces for third-party enhancements. Within this paper, opportunities to integrate grid and cloud computing strategies and standards into NGN are considered. The importance of standardized interfaces and interoperability testing demanded by carrier-grade networks are discussed. Finally, a proposal how the testing methods developed at theEuropean Telecommunications Standards Institute(ETSI) can be applied to improve the quality of standards and implementations is presented.
