NSI Selection
Options while instantiating a new NSI that can be shared:
- This will have
Option 1 | Option 2 | |
---|---|---|
Instantiation of new (shareable) NSI | Instantiate the NSI (and constituent NSSI) so that it can cater to some additional dimensions, e.g., allow for 20% buffer (the 20% may come from Policy or be pre-configured). Impacts: SO (NSMF and NSSMF), SDN-R/C ??? | Instantiate it only with the required dimensions as required by the Service Profile |
Reuse of existing NSI |
Impacts: OOF (logic) - the 20% configuration should be accessible to both SO and OOF (OR)
Impacts: DCAE (Slice Analysis MS - data analysis, API/interface for querying by OOF), OOF (query DCAE, logic) |

Reuse of existing NSSI | ||
Points to consider | Which dimension attributes to consider - maxNumberofUEs, bandwidth, throughput, ??? |
Notion of capacity (soft, hard)
Current resource occupancy levels
Scaling and modification (expansion of coverage area, resource reallocation)
Re-use approach for allocation of "resources" for RAN and TN NSSI
