services:
cn-simulator-docker-compose:
image: openjdk:8-jre-slim
container_name: cn-simulator-test-1
ports:
- "11111:11111"
restart: always
# mount the cn-nssmf-simulator-docker-compose directory of the host machine to the /app directory of the container
# If you need to modify the simulator's configuration file application.properties later,
# you can directly modify the host's cn-nssmf-simulator-docker-compose/application.properties to synchronize to the container
volumes:
- ./:/app
working_dir: /app
entrypoint: java -jar simulator-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

...

...

Run command:

...

Example of sdnc-an-01.json:

...

{

  "thirdparty-sdnc-id": "sdnc-cn-01"

5. OOF Configuration - Policy Creation Steps

Refer Optimization Policy Creation Steps for optimization policy creation and deployment steps

Copy the policy files

...

NOTE: For NST Selection based on latency constraint, please make sure you have updated the latency constraint as property in the design time template of NST as below,

Refer Policy Models and Sample policies - NSI selection for sample policies 

Updated slice/service profile mapping - slicing_config.yaml

NOTE:

• The service name given for creating the policy must match with the service name in the request
• The scope fields in the policies should match with the value in the resourceSharingLevel(non-shared/shared). Do modify the policy accordingly.
• Check the case of the attributes with the OOF request with the attribute map (camel to snake and snake to camel) in config/slicing_config.yaml, if any mismatch found modify the attribute map accordingly.

• You need to restart the OOF docker container once you updated the slicing_config.yaml, you can do it using the following steps,

  • Login to the worker VM where the OOF container is running. You can find the worker node by running (kubectl get pods -n onap -o wide | grep dev-oof)
  • Find the container using docker ps | grep optf-osdf
  • Restart the container using docker restart <container id>

9. ACTN Simulator

Refer ACTN Simulator User Guide to setup ACTN-simulator or follow the below steps to launch and initialize domain controllers,

Refer Transport Slicing Configuration and Operation Guidance for NextHop details of AN &CN

Step 1. Fetch the simulator docker image

First, pull down the simulator image from public docker hub.

Step 2. Start the simulator container(s)

After compiling the pnc-simulator image locally or fetching the docker image from remote registry, execute the command below to start the container:

For demonstration purposes, two domain controllers are required, in our case we use 18181 as SERVER_PORT for domain1 and 18182 for domain2.

After starting the container, you should be able to verify the running container by:

Step 3. Initialize the simulator(s)

The simulator offers a set of administrative APIs which are designed for initialization and management purposes.

To initialize the simulator for each domain:

For demonstration purposes, two domain controllers are required, both need to be properly launched and initialized. The initialization payloads are attached below.

ESR Registration using AAI ESR Url:

Once a third-party controller is being registered in ONAP, a "Topology Discovery" operation need be triggered and the domain controller will be called in order to retrieve the topology. SDNC then, will store the topology in AAI. Please execute the below curl command for the ESR registration of initialized two domain controllers,

NOTE: Replace <simulator-ip> and <simulator-port> with the IP Address and port of initialized simulators.

curl -k -X PUT "https://AAI:AAI@<worker-vmIp>:30233/aai/v23/external-system/esr-thirdparty-sdnc-list/esr-thirdparty-sdnc/
