1.1

NST selection

Implementation of NST selection in HAS



1

HAS

Common understanding of how to fetch template details from SDC

1.2

Implement callback for NST selection



1

OSDF, SO



1.3

NSI selection

API improvements - For NSI selection, NSST details should be provided in the request from SO (NSMF). NumSolutions should be provided by SO. Service/Slice Profile attributes, json blob at the end



1



Domain type (AN/TN/CN) should be also included in the Slice Profile (Modeling consideration?)

1.4

OOF response shall NOT contain NSSI info (only NSI if available/usable, and Slice Profiles will be sent back).



1





1.5

During NSI selection, when the attribute (e.g., reliability) in Threshold Policy is not part of Slice Profile, it should be ignored by HAS (error should not be returned)





HAS

Already implemented

1.6

Aggregate policy to be implemented, e.g., latency of all Slice Profiles (across subnets) chosen to be < latency in Service Profile.



1



independent improvement

1.7

When considering existing NSSI as a candidate, consider ALL slice profiles (not just “best” one).



2





1.8

Slice profile generation - candidates should be generated at appropriate granularity



1



  • To be generated even when reusing an existing NSI

  • Which parameters to generate (per domain type) to be policy driven or come from Slice Profile Template, as well as should depend on the parameters received in the service profile 

1.9

Slice profile selection - choose best one, based on service profile, subnet capabilities (and optionally existing NSSIs, if sharing is allowed???)



1



Priority can be revisited

1.10

Implement callback for NSI selection



1

OSDF

Additional components - SO

1.11

Selecting "final" solution(s) by OOF based on policy - minimum change policy, maximum slice count policy, reuse policy, etc. subject to the numSolutions limit sent by SO.



2

HAS



OOF API shall still contain 'list' of solutions

OSDF - translation of Policy

1.12

NSI Termination

API and response for NSI termination - yes or no (check Policy also)



1 - functionality

2- OOF impacted

OSDF, SO

Request should come from SO acting as NSMF

2.1

NSSI Selection

Select appropriate NSSI, return "no solution" if no solution exists

(Send Slice Profiles also in case of RAN NSSI selection for Option 1)



1



Intention is to make NSSI selection domain agnostic.

2.2

Implement callback for NSSI selection
