  • Antitrust Policy Notice

We start our meetings by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Cross-project discussion

ONAP and LFN Collaboration

Byung-Woo Jun

Discussions between Arpit Joshipura, Byung-Woo Jun, Jill Lovato, Louis Illuzzi and Sunny Cai:

  • Highlight the value proposition of ONAP, including overall statistics (e.g., contributors, LOC, etc.) over its lifetime.

  • Provide deployment examples with links to DT, CMCC, China Telecom, Huawei, Ericsson, AT&T, TATA, Capegemini and others: hope we can finish our input for LFN by February 20th. 

    • DT plans to deploy selected components into production environment (TNAP) this year - discussed during D&TF last year and in several TSC meetings

    • China Mobile & GenAI, @Keguang He , please summarize how China Mobile uses ONAP

    • China Telecom - using fork of ONAP (?) (presentation from 2024), @Dong Wang , please summarize how China Telecom uses ONAP

    • AT&T use case; Dan Timoney, please summarize how AT&T uses ONAP

    • What is Ericsson doing and why? Byung-Woo Jun , please summarize how Ericsson uses ONAP

      Ericsson (input from Ramesh Murugan Iyer and Toine Siebelink)

      • Ericsson's new SMO offering is known as EIAP (Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform) where the non-Real time RIC features are provided by the EIC (Ericsson Intelligent Controller) component. EIAP aims to provide advanced automation and orchestration capabilities for diverse RAN environments (both traditional and ORAN).

      • Policy-clamp component from the ONAP Policy Framework plays a major role in the EIC functionality within EIAP. Policy-clamp is responsible for the lifecycle management of rApps in EIC and works in conjunction with EIC adapter microservices to ensure complete lifecycle management of rApps. Additionally, EIAP is also considering the use of the opa-pdp component from ONAP's Policy Framework within their coordination-management component . This discussion is currently at an initial stage; however, opa-pdp has strong potential for integration into the coordination-management use case. 

      • CPS/NCMP, which is part of Ericsson EIAP, provides the transparent proxy to multiple RAN OAM CM SMOS. It exposes the 3GPP ProvMnS, which serves as the foundation for RAN OAM CM.

    • Huawei, @zhuguanyu , please summarize how Huawei uses ONAP

    • Capgemini, Viresh Navalli, please summarize how Capgemini uses ONAP 

    • Tata, please summerize how Tata uses ONAP

  • Emphasize the product integration of ONAP

  • Use headlines like: "From Control loops and Intent-based to full AI Orchestration and Management." 

  • Highlight security contributions, such as those provided during the OPS 5G project by US Government for Networking slicing

    • Byung-woo Jun plans to add details about ONAP's service mesh and Ingress architecture and implementation

    • Mitre, NSA might be able to provide some info 

  • Address past criticisms of ONAP being too large and complex by emphasizing recent efforts, such as "streamlining microservices and modules, archiving legacy software, etc."

    • Byung-Woo Jun explained the ONAP Streamlining Evolution initiative to address these concerns

    • Has gone from a full “platform” to a collection of “network automation components”

ONAP DTF Days 2025

  • Byung-Woo Jun, created a page for ONAP DTF DAYs 2025; we plan to collect ONAP DTF session topics here before presenting them to LFN, and schedule for the event.

TSC Strategy

Byung-Woo Jun

PTL input?

Byung-Woo Jun presented the brainstorm at the TSC meeting this week.

Brainstorm:

  • Ensure ONAP core components are focused and operate independently, from build to runtime

    • DT finishes Argo-CD based component independent deployment: Andreas Geißler

      • Argo-CD is a DT choice, but ONAP can allow other CDs, e.g., Flux (need contributors)

      • DT plans to productize some of the selected ONAP core components early next year in their TNAP production environment

    • Declarative and Intent-based component operations by the Repository-based Network Automation : see the ideas from ONAP Architecture Evolution - 2025.pdf

  • Make ONAP core components more autonomous and ready for use by both ONAP, LF and other external users

    • During New Delhi and Oslo releases, CPS and Policy achieved the OpenSSF Gold Badging status. Kudos to the team!

    • Continue to promote/facilitate other ONAP core components for the Gold Badging status (e.g., UUI, SDNC, A&AI, Portal-NG)

  • Incorporate more GenAI capabilities and use cases to the ONAP components, and promote the adoption of open-source LLM models and frameworks aligned with LF AI & Data and GenAI Commons

    • Collaborate with LF AI & Data GenAI Commons and Nephio GenAI for 5G and 6G

    • Open-source based models and controls

    • AI-Based Control Loop: Dong Wang

    • AI Model-As-A-Service : Keguang He

    • ETSI ISG NFV compliance for AI?

  • Foster inter-community collaboration with other LF communities, such as O-RAN and Nephio

    • SDNC enhancements (which is used by O-RAN OAM as is): Dan Timoney

    • Resource-based Orchestration Pattern (leveraging CD and Operator)

    • Energy saving / monitoring : N.K. Shankaranarayanan

  • Ensure the security of ONAP components and operations : @SECCOM

    • The latest security mechanism for communications (service mesh enhancements leveraging Istio and coming Ambient Mesh)

    • Deprecate unused sub-components and mitigate security vulnerabilities

  • Define a secure LFN CI/CD pipeline by leveraging OpenSSF-associated reference tools : @SECCOM

Byung-Woo Jun

  • Under Oslo we recommended Java 11.0.21, accepted Java 17.0.10 Target 17.0.12 and possible use of 21.

    We need to figure out what java versions we are running now in ONAP. If Dan is not making interface changes, moving to Java 21 is not a problem.

  • Andreas Geißler, provided the Java versions scanning, ONAP-Component-Java-Versions_Reporting..pdf

    AP Pawel - to check if we can get this info from Nexus-IQ directly.

    Andreas provided the list of the Java versions per project. versions_reporting.html ONAP-Component-Java-Versions_Reporting..pdf

    • AP: Dan Timoney, try it with SDNC to build basic image automatically regularly and update Docker file as needed. He will try it and let us know. 

    • For release, image handling needs to sort out; which release images are being used. for unused projects, we need to update images.

    • After Dan’s try, DT may check how to handle. Andreas Geißler , if you have any update, please let us know. Thanks.

  • Nexus-IQ scan for Node.js and Angular in ONAP: Paweł Pawlak, opened a LF IT ticket, https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/desk/portal/2/IT-27757 

    • Kevin Sandi,  will check with Matt and estimate the effort

    • Kevin and Matt will discuss and get back to us.

  • SECCOM will review the Java 21, Python, and Maven upgrades from the security perspective. 

    • Paweł Pawlak, will explore the current status of versions; will discuss this further at the SECCOM; scanner from the weekly pipelines may help?? Andreas Geißler, will check; Docker image is hard corded. 

    • Golang scanning: waiting for Nexus; Kevin Sandi, will raise a support ticket for Nexus golang support.; no much update here; there is a feature request already by someone else; will monitor the progress.

  • How to deal with vulnerabilities. e.g., SDC, UUI - Angular dependency issues. Also, MPM;

  • SECCOM discussed these issues with PTLs at the next SECCOM meeting
