Scope
What is this release trying to address?
The SDN-C project provides a global network controller, built on the Common Controller SDK, which manages, assigns and provisions network resources. As a "global" controller, the SDN-C project is intended to run as one logical instance per enterprise, with potentially multiple geographically diverse virtual machines / docker containers in clusters to provide high availability. The project also will support the ability to invoke other local SDN controllers, including third party SDN controllers.
In the Beijing release, the SDN-C project will be used to manage, assign and provision network resources for the Beijing release use cases, listed in the Use Cases section below.
Use Cases
The use cases supported in the Beijing release are:
- Virtual Domain Name Server (vDNS)
- Virtual Firewall (vFW)
- Virtual Voice over LTE (vVoLTE)
- Virtual Customer Premise Equipment (vCPE)
Minimum Viable Product
The Minimum Viable Product for Beijing is the set of capabilities needed to support the use cases listed above.
Functionalities
List the functionalities that this release is committing to deliver by providing a link to JIRA Epics and Stories. In the JIRA Priority field, specify the priority (either High, Medium, Low). The priority will be used in case de-scoping is required. Don't assign High priority to all functionalities.
Epics
Stories
Longer term roadmap
One critical long term objective for the SDN-C project is support for integration with other third party SDN Controllers (e.g. Open Contrail), well as integration with the SDN Agent project from Open-O. For the Beijing release, since our primary goal is to support the use cases identified above and to improve platform maturity, the degree to which we support such integration will be dictated by the needs of those use cases. However, we do want to bear in mind that such integration is critical and will be included in our release plans going forward.

Sub-Components
Subcomponents of each ONAP project may be found on the Resources and Repositories page on this wiki. Please see the SDN-C section of that page for subcomponent list of SDN-C.
ONAP Dependencies
SDN-C depends on the following projects:
- Active and Available Inventory (A&AI)
- Common Controller SDK (CCSDK).
- Service Design and Creation (SDC)
- Data Movement as a Platform (DMaaP)
- Documentation
- Integration
- External API
- Modeling
- Multi VIM/Cloud
- Policy
Architecture
High level architecture diagram
The following diagram shows the high level architecture of SDNC:
The major architectural components of the SDN-C controller are:
- Device Data Models : Yang models that define interfaces to devices (virtual or physical) that the SDNC configures
- Service Network Data Models : Yang models that define data maintained within the SDNC about the network used by the set of services supported by this SDNC instance
- Service Chain Data Models : Yang models that define how services supported by an SDNC instance can be chained
- Service Data Models : Yang models that define data maintained within the SDNC for the set of services it supports
- Directed Graphs : programmable logic, updatable at run time with no restart, that define the behavior of the SDNC
- Service Logic Interpreter : module provided by CCSDK which allows platform to execute directed graphs
- API Handler : code (mostly generate from service Yang models) which implements RESTCONF API into SDNC. Most API handlers should follow the following pattern:
- Call directed graph named after invoked RPC, passing RESTCONF RPC parameters as Java Properties object.
- Return results from directed graph invocation as response to RESTCONF RPC
- Interface adaptors - code that allows directed graphs to invoke external interfaces
Platform Maturity
Refering to CII Badging Security Program and Platform Maturity Requirements, fill out the table below by indicating the actual level , the targeted level for the current release and the evidences on how you plan to achieve the targeted level.
| Area | Actual Level | Targeted Level for current Release | How, Evidences | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance | 0 | 0 | Awaiting guidance from Benchmark subcommittee |
|
| Stability | 0 | 1 | SDNC will perform 72 hour soak at component level. We assume that integration team will also do a 72 hour ONAP soak which includes SDNC. |
|
| Resiliency | 1 | 2 | In Beijing, CCSDK will support a clustered OpenDaylight configuration in Kubernetes, as well as a clustered database, to allow for automated detection and recovery within a site. SDNC will use that configuration to meet this requirement. See SDN-C Clustering on Kubernetes for further details |
|
| Security | 0 | 1 | SDNC will improve test coverage to > 50% |
|
| Scalability | 0 | 1 | SDNC can be scaled either by adding additional OpenDaylight containers and/or database containers, or by deploying multiple instances of SDNC cluster. |
|
| Manageability | 1 | 1 | SDNC will support ONAP standard logging. |
|
| Usability | 1 | 1 | See readthedocs and wiki. |

API Incoming Dependencies
List the API this release is expecting from other releases.
Prior to Release Planning review, Team Leads must agreed on the date by which the API will be fully defined. The API Delivery date must not be later than the release API Freeze date.
Prior to the delivery date, it is a good practice to organize an API review with the API consumers.
| API Name | API Description | API Definition Date | API Delivery date | API Definition link (i.e.swagger) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A&AI : VNF | API used to read/write information about VNFs | Defined in seed code | Included in seed code | TBD |
| SDC : distribution | API used to distribute artifacts from SDC to subscribers | Defined in seed code | Included in seed code | TBD |
| DMaaP | API used to receive DHCP event notification | 8/23/17 | 8/23/17 | DMaaP API |
API Outgoing Dependencies
API this release is delivering to other releases.
