PNF Plug and Play (Casablanca carry-over items) | Moderate | - Potential schema changes:
- PNF
- Cloud-region
- Tracking the Cloud Home Server (CLLI, Cloud ID); is the association with the COMPLEX Object sufficient?
|
| PNF Pre-Onboarding & Onboarding | Moderate | - Ingest and use 5G NF Packages (CSAR file), PNF Artifacts, Definitions, TOSCA-Metadata - Requires changes to A&AI model loader
- Run-time catalog update to associate artifacts to a PNF
- ONAP Run Time Activities: 5G Service Instantiation
|
| 5G Network Slicing | Moderate | Advanced 5G functionality, for Network Slicing development and early steps in long-lead development. Service slicing allows advanced steering of services, based on policy, GW loading, and other criteria. Impacts:
• A&AI shall store vSSF (Virtual Slice Selection Function) inventory (and associated EMS inventory) and forward it to downstream systems (eg, DCAE, AOTS-M). (Assumes ONAP will use a vSSF software product and a supporting EMS from some vendor.)
• Radio PNF’s are deployed and configured ( RA, TA’s & cells) and shall be persisted in A&AI.
• A&AI shall also contain inventory of available data centre sites with associated constraints. |
| Traffic Migration Workflow | Easy | • Retrieve VNF level ipv4-oam-address. generic-vnf.ipv4-oam-address (existing property)
• Change in the VNF model to introduce an dt-anchor-point capability to vnf of vf. (new property in generic-vnf)
• Change in the VNF model to introduce an dt-destination-point capability to vnf of vf. (new property in generic-vnf)
• Perhaps there is a need to hold pairs of (dt-anchor-point, dt-destination-point) to allow ScaleIn for any VNF in Virtual service. (new properties in generic-vnf) |
