Update section 5, VNF Characteristics, to include a section on PNF Characteristics.
Requirement Applicability and Compliance
Requirements that are deemed applicable to a PNF must be met by all new PNF products. New means products that are under initial development and have not been generally deployed in an operator's network. Some PNFs that are early in their life cycle need to migrate to support the PNF requirements in a reasonable timeframe assuming that they are SW upgradeable. PNFs that are near end of life or are very small and such adding software to support ONAP is impractical may require a mediation function or adaptor to support the most critical ONAP requirements or be managed by current legacy systems.

Requirements that only apply to PNFs would be worded as "The PNF MUST/SHOULD/..."

Editing of requirements
Some requirements may apply to both PNFs and VNFs but will need some editing of the text in the requirements such that is broader.

- Determine interested parties to collaborate on PNF definition
- Define the scope of work to be included in the Beijing release for PNFs
- Draft and post the definition of PNF
- Review all requirements to identify those that are applicable to PNFs and change to the proposed wording above
- Edit requirements that apply to both VNFs and PNFs so that the wording isn't slanted toward VNFs
