Below are the functions of access network needed on top of the infrastructure services that are already provided as part of ONAP. The requirements for Access will be isolated to the Access Module to not impact the core ONAP capabilities and deliverables.
Terminology
OSAM | A work effort in ONAP for bridging the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) work into ONAP. Part of this was to create a higher order UI for the Access Network, Service Models, Work Flows, Policies, etc. The goal of the project is to build out dependencies for future support of 3rd party virtualized network services for the access network. | |
|---|---|---|
OSAM-Control | A Domain Specific Controller (DSC) that provides Dynamic Control & User Plane for subscriber related flows. Framework for tenant services that support core subscriber services and flow control. Initial implementation is based on ONF projects. | |
OSAM-HA | Provides hardware abstraction layer for the physical network device providing modular protocol and device interfaces. Initial implementation is based on ONF projects (VOLTHA). | |
OSAM-Collector Agent | Collector agent is a instance built off the DCAE collector agent framework. | |
OSAM-Analytic Agent | Analytics agent is a instance built off the DCAE analytics agent framework. | |
OSAM-UI | Provides an implementation of a centralized management interface for the access network device and services targeted for edge and deep edge deployments. | |
Access network is broken down into central and edge deployments. Some functions of the control and management will be located centrally and some may be located at the edge in support of access.

- OpenLDAP will store the subscriber authentication and profile information
- SO will interact with OpenLDAP for updating the subscriber data, security and service profiles
- System will be utilized as a reference implementation and not intended for production use
- This functionality is isolated from ONAP capabilities to support scale of the broadband authentication processes
Architecture Alignment:
OpenSource Access Manager is a domain specific management and services stack interfacing and interacting with the core ONAP capabilities that support and maintain the underlying virtual and physical infrastructure.
