The MSP or CSP typically integrates the Subscriber Web Portal for the SD-WAN managed service into their existing customer portal used for other managed services. In the MEF LSO RA, the Subscriber Web Portal communicates with the Service Provider’s OSS/BSS applications via the Cantata interface for functions such as initial subscriber account setup, ensuring a service payment method is available and active, authorize a user to activate a new service, and the initial SDWAN service activation. After the SD-WAN service is activated, the Subscriber Web Portal communicates with the Service Orchestrator via the Allegro interface for SD-WAN service modifications such as setting up different QoS, security or business policies based on a user’s role, e.g., ‘view-only’ capability or ability to modify the SD-WAN service. The Service Orchestrator also obtains service modification requests from the Subscriber Portal via the Allegro interface.

The MEF 3.0 SD-WAN Services white paper requires update to clarify distinction between what is used for Allegro vs. Contata. As written it appears Allegro interface is responsible for both.
