| Attribute | Qualifier | Cardinality | Content | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| id | M | 1 | String | The identifier of this extCpdData |
| description | M | 1 | String | Describes the service exposed. |
| virtualLinkRequirement | M | 1..N | String | Refers in an abstract way to the network or multiple networks that the ExtCpd shall be exposed on (ex: OAM, EndUser, backhaul, LI, etc). The intent is to enable a network operator to take decision on to which actual VPN to connect the extCpd to. NOTE 1. |
| networkInterfaceRealizationRequirements | M | 0..1 | datatype.networkInterfaceRealizationRequirements | Details container implementation specific requirements on the NetworkAttachmentDefinition to . See NOTE 2 & 3. |
| inputParamMappings | M | 0..1 | datatype.extCpd.ParamMappings | Information on what parameters that are required to be provided to the deployment tools for the asdExtCpd instance. |
| resourceMapping | M | 0..1 | String | Kubernetes API resource name for the resource manifest as specified e.g. in helm.chart for the service, ingress or pod resource declaring the network interface. Enables, together with knowledge on namespace, the orchestrator to lookup the runtime data related to the extCpd. |
NOTE 1: Corresponds more or less to a virtual_link requirement in ETSI NFV SOL001.
NOTE 2: Applies only for ExtCpds representing secondary network interfaces in a pod.
NOTE 3: Several ExtCpd may refer to same additional network interface requirements.
networkInterfaceRealizationRequirements Information Element
| Attribute | Qualifier | Cardinality | Content | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| trunkMode | M | 0..1 | ”false” | ”true” | If not present or set to”false”, means that this interface shall connect to single network. If set to ”true” then the network interface shall be a trunk interface (connects to multiple VLANS). |
| ipam | M | 0..1 | "infraProvided", "orchestrated", "userManaged" | The default value ("infraProvided") means that the CNI specifies how IPAM is done and assigns the IP address to the pod interface. |
| interfaceType | M | 0..1 | "kernel.netdev", "direct.userdriver", "direct.kerneldriver", "direct.bond", "userspace | This attribute is applicable for passthrough and memif interfaces. Value default value is ”kernel.netdev”. |
| interfaceOptions | M | 0..N | "virtio", | Alternative vNIC configurations the network interface is verified to work with. |
| interfaceRedundancy | M | 0..1 | "infraProvided", "activePassiveBond", "activeActiveBond", "activePassiveL3", "activeActiveL3", ”bondCni”, "Left", "Right" | ”infraProvided” means that the application sees one vNIC but that the infrastruture provides redundant access to the network via both switch planes. ”Left” and ”right” indicates a vNIC connected non-redundantly to the network via one specific (left or right) switchplane. All other attributes indicates a mated vNIC pair in the Pod, one connecting to the network via left switchplane and the other connecting to the network via the right switchplane, and with application using them together as a redundant network interface using a particular redundancy method that need to be accomodated in the node infrastructure. |
| nicOptions | M | 0..N | "examples": ["i710", "mlx-cx5v"] | nics a direct user space driver the application is verified to work with. Allowed values from ETSI registry. |

| Attribute | Qualifier | Cardinality | Content | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| minKernelVersion | M | 1 | String | Describes the minimal required Kernel version, e.g. 4.15.0. Coded as displayed by linux command uname –r |
| requiredKernelModules | M | 0..N | String | Required kernel modules are coded as listed by linux lsmod command, e.g. ip6_tables, cryptd, nf_nat etc. |
| conflictingKernelModules | M | 0..N | String | Kernel modules, which must not be present in the target environment. The kernel modules are coded as listed by linux lsmod command, e.g. ip6_tables, cryptd, nf_nat etc. Example: Linux kernel SCTP module, which may conflict with use of proprietary user space SCTP stack provided by the application. |
requiredCustomResources | M | 0..N | Structure (inlined) | List the required custom resources types in the target environment, identifying each by the "kind" and "apiVersion" field in the K8S resource manifests and in the application. The list shall include those custom resource types which are not delivered with the application. Example: |
>kind | M | 0..1 | String | Kind of the custom resource |
>apiVersion | M | 0..1 | String | apiVersion of the custom resource |
| clusterLabels | M | 0..N | KeyValuePairs | This attribute allows to associate arbitrary labels to clusters. These can indicate special infrastructure capabilities (e.g., NW acceleration, GPU compute, etc.). The intent of these labels is to serve as a set of values that can help in application placement decisions. clusterLabels follow the Kubernetes label key-value-nomenclature (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/). It is recommended that labels follow a standardised meaning e.g. for node features (https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/node-feature-discovery/v0.9/get-started/features.html#table-of-contents). Example: ClusterLabels |
| requiredPlugin | M | 0..N | Structure (inlined) | A list of the names and versions of the required K8s plugin (e.g. multus v3.8) |
| >requiredPluginName | M | 0..1 | String | The names of the required K8s plugin (e.g. multus) |
| >requiredPluginVersion | M | 0..1 | String | Version The version of the required plugin (e.g. 3.8) |
