Introduction and Approach

In BBS, notifications generated by the domain specific M&C (Access, Edge) into ONAP using the capabilities provided by ONAP's DCAE component and supported collectors that map the notifications into VES events for processing within ONAP.

For this release, BBS uses Restconf Collector to collect the notifications, converting the notification into the requisite VES event by the VES Mapper micro-service. The VES event placed on DMAAP bus with a topic that can be consumed by the associated DCAE micro-service for processing. In many cases the DCAE micro-service uses ONAPs Policy capabilities to implement the function specific to the notification.

Supported Notifications

The primary scenarios for notifications within BBS are to support:

• Registration and Re-registration of CPE PNFs (e.g., ONT) used to support the Nomadic ONT scenario
• Authentication state change of the gateway (e.g., residential) functionality associated with CPE PNFs that updates the operational state of the HSIA CFS.
