Tenants
Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are referred to as "tenants" on the Fibre Cafe - they are ordering services from suppliers. A tenant communicates with the Fibre Cafe Tenant API.
Suppliers
AltNets and Connectivity Providers are referred to as "suppliers" on the Fibre Cafe - they provide the services that can be ordered. A supplier implements the Fibre Cafe Supplier API.
Custom
For AltNets with an existing API, the Fibre Cafe can support custom pluggable connectors to transform the request/responses into the appropriate format and call the API directly.
