Extract of Transport domain, Campus Connectivity subdomain, with capability descriptors and measurable outcomes.

Capability	Descriptor (abbreviated)	Level 1a	Level 8
Cabling standard	ANSI/TIA-1179-A “Healthcare Facility Telecommunications Infrastructure” specifies recognized cabling and cabling category recommendations for health care facilities.	Category 6A cabling is ≤30%	Category 6A cabling >91%
Virtualization	The concept of virtualization applies tags to network packets that create the appearance and functionality of network traffic that is physically on a single network but acts as if it is split between separate networks.	No layer 2/3 virtualization implemented	Access controlled, policy-based micro segmentation of campus infrastructure based on virtual extensible local area network
Access port design and policy	A well-defined access port policy is based on the requirements of the end devices and the access of the applications and services by that end device.	No access port policy	Software defined automation access port configuration per software defined networking (SDN) policy
SDN integration	The SDN controller should support integration using application programming interfaces (APIs). Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs enable automation, integration, and innovation. All controller functionality should be exposed through these REST APIs.	No SDN	Demonstration of SDN contextual workflow using API integration
