Extend EPC capabilities with vSGW and vPGW. Demonstrate how to use a hybrid (PNF+VNF) solution using ONAP
Version 0: no automatic legacy configuration. Deployment on a single OpenStack data-center based with no SDNC
...
VNF should be compliant with APP-C and DCAE using Netong/Yang for configuration and VES or SNMP for event collections
V0
On-boarding/Design phase
The ONAP designer onboards the VNF descriptors, define the Directed Graphs for the 2 VNF and the legacy MME for configuration and defines the service.
The ONAP designer defines a simple policy rule: to scale vPGW on the basis of the number of sessions and configure the MME to take into account the new vPGW
Open questions:
- do we need to describe the PNF in the SDC ?
- how to plug the legacy MME management solution to APP-C ?
Deployment phase
The ONAP-operating deploys the vEPC service.
As a result, one vSGW and one vPGW are deployed using SO and APP-C and updating AAI.
Closed loop
Triggered on a number of sessions, the policy engine executes the rule that triggers the SO to instantiate a new vPGW and will the APP-C to configure both the vPGW and the MME.
