BBS Broadband Service Use Case (Frankfurt)

Sponsors

    

Frankfurt Goals

In Frankfurt, we will focus on bug fixes and improving the BBS use case documentation. No new features are planned in R6.

Overview

This use case proposes using ONAP for the design, provisioning, life-cycle management and assurance of broadband services. In a first step, multi-Gigabit Internet Connectivity services based on PON (Passive Optical Network) access technology will be considered. The use case covers new scenarios, such as nomadic ONT (Optical Network Terminal) and service subscription plan changes.

BBS use case shows the extensibility of the ONAP platform in supporting the orchestration of services across different locations (e.g., Central Office, Core) and technology domains (e.g., Access, Edge) within the locations.

In a joint collaboration with BBF (Broadband Forum) members, BBS implements/tests some of the specifications defined in the architectural framework of CloudCO (Cloud Central Office), Technical Report TR-384, among others. CloudCO aims at re-architecting the broadband network using SDN and NFV technologies and a cloud-like infrastructure deployed at Central Offices.

The definition of External API capabilities supporting this use case will be performed in collaboration with TM Forum and MEF LSO.

Features delivered in Dublin (R4):

  1. Establishment of a subscriber's HSIA (High Speed Internet Access) service from an ONT to the Internet drain

    1. The HSIA service is designed and deployed using ONAP's design and deployment capabilities

    2. The HSIA service activation is initiated via ONAP's External APIs and orchestrated and controlled using ONAP orchestration and control capabilities. The control capabilities leverage a 3rd party controller to implement the requested action within the technology domain/location represented by the domain specific SDN management and control function.

  2. Change of location for ONT devices (Nomadic ONT devices)

    1. PNF (Re-)Registration for an ONT

      1. Subscriber association to an ONT via ONAP's External APIs

      2. ONT association with a expected Access UNI (PON port) when a HSIA service is created/deployed for a subscriber

      3. PNF (Re-)Registration using ONAP's PNF registration capabilities

    2. Service location modification that is detected by ONAP's analytic and initiated via the closed loop capabilities

      1. The closed loop capabilities invoke a HSIA location change service that is orchestrated and controlled using ONAP capabilities and 3rd party controllers 

 

Business Requirements

  • Service providers need a flexible platform that integrates Broadband services using standardized APIs towards domain specific management and control systems, e.g. Access domain controller/orchestrator. 

  • Equipment vendors and systems integrators benefit from well defined, standardized APIs to which they can develop products and services.

  • By closely collaborating with Industry consortiums, such as BBF, the BBS use case outcomes will serve as a basis for the definition of new standard interfaces and the evaluation and refinement of existing specifications.

Impacts

The BBS Use Case for Frankfurt will focus on bug fixes and documentation

 

Scope

The work leverages the CloudCO reference architectural framework (TR-384) by implementing the organization's work for integration of CloudCO to ONAP as defined in Cloud-CO-APPN-015: Cloud-CO-APPN-446: ONAP Integration for HSIA Service (Access) Integration for HSIA Service (Access). This use case implementated this application note in Dublin release. As the Broadband Forum develops additional Broadband Service application notes that are applicable for integration with ONAP, this use case will be extended over time to incorporate the new application notes.

Interface

Description

Interface

Description

BSS ↔ External API

Advertise service catalog to external systems, e.g. BSS, service instance ordering and order status tracking, and service instance state change notifications to external systems.

External API AAI

This interface provides for notification of service instance state changes

External API SDC/SO

This interface provides invocation for the service catalog, LCM operations on the CFS HSIA instances, event notification on service instance order status

Policy ↔ DCAE

This interface provides closed loop policies for activation of the CFS HSIA and relocation of ONT

Policy ↔ SDN-C

This interface supports RFS re-configuration triggered by ONT relocation as well as device PnP

Policy ↔ AAI

This interface supports CFS re-configuration triggered by ONT relocation as well as device PnP

SO → SDN-C

This interface provides orchestration of the CFS HSIA into requisite network services for Access and Edge. The interface also provides a relocation of ONT network service.

DCAE ← Domain Specific SDN M&C

This interface provides event collection for Service and ONT health as well as notification of an ONT registration to a new Access attachment interface.

SDN-C → Domain Specific SDN M&C

This interface provides the resource facing HSIA services for Access and Edge elements. In addition ONT application layer configuration is provided.
