The Swisscom virtual BNG and Edge SDN M&C for the ONAP BBS use-case is a demo system. It is a functional prototype and it is not meant for production use. The whole system is running in a single OpenStack VM and therefore only able to support a small number of subscribers. The forwarding dataplane is implemented fully inside the VMs networking stack and therefore not designed to support high data rates. The system is able to interact with ONAP according to the BBS use-case definition.

...

The Swisscom virtual BNG and Edge SDN M&C is installed and initially set up by a single Heat Orchestration Template. Therefore the OpenStack cloud you would like to use for testing should support Orchestration with Heat. The complete initial BNG and vBNG + Edge SDN M&C configuration is provided as Heat stack parameters. The Heat stack creates all the required OpenStack infrastructure, e.g. router, network, security group, port and vbng instance.

Once the stack is created by heat, cloud-init user data script on the instance script  checks out the vbng git repository and runs the scripts 00-installdeps.sh, 01-setupdatapath.sh, 02-setupcontainers.sh contained in the repository.   The parameters passed to them are kept in $HOME/vbng.conf. Once cloud-init finished its job it will create the file $HOME/vbng_provisioning_done on your instance. Logs are kept in /var/log/cloud-init-output.log. You may re-run those scripts as many times as you wish, work will only be done once. Also keep in mind For example you have to re-run these 3 scripts on instance reboot for example. Also keep Keep in mind, you may require a reboot in case you have kernel updates installed.

  • vbng/00-installdeps.sh             

    • Update the system, install dependent packages, install and setup docker.

  • vbng/01-setupdatapath.sh      

    • Set up the datapath part, including shaping, routing and NAT.

  • vbng/02-setupcontainers.sh   

    • Create docker images and start all containers: Database, Message Queue, Restconf Server, VES Agent and DHCP Server.

...

OLT onboarding configuration is not done by cloud-init, since OLT parameters are normally not known on heat at stack creation time. For OLT onboarding the 2 tunnels for datapath and DHCP transport and the DHCP L3 relay on the OLT have to be configured. Therefore another script should be used, once the vbng instance is provisioned initially:

  • vbng/03-setupolt.sh                 

    The script accepts exactly 8 parameters to specify tunnel and DHCP relay options. Already configured OLTs are kept in $HOME/oltmap.txt. Parameters are:
    1. vxlan_data_ip: The IP Address of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for OLT datapath

    2. vxlan_data_port: The UDP Port of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for OLT datapath

    3. vxlan_data_vni: The VNI of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for OLT datapath

    4. vxlan_dhcp_ip: The IP Address of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for DHCP server / relay traffic

    5. vxlan_dhcp_port: The UDP Port of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for DHCP server / relay traffic

    6. vxlan_dhcp_vni: The VNI of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for DHCP server / relay traffic

    7. relay_north_ip: The Northbound IP of the L3 DHCP relay on the OLT. (Where the DHCP server routes its replies to)

    8. relay_south_ip: The Southbound IP of the L3 DHCP relay on the OLT. (Where the DHCP replies are injected into datapath)
