September 5th to September 11th, 2017

Template:

1. What has your team achieved in past one week?

2. Block issues / help needed from the community

• Testing

  • Commited python parent POM for ONAP.

  • Added the vcpe heat templates for the first use case

    • Working to do the distribution stuff in asdc hopefully this week

• Reference VNFs

  • Nothing new to report on this project at this time

• vCPE Use Case

  • The vCPE team had a meeting with SDC and MSO teams the past week. As a result, MSO team suggests to change the current Heat templates in order to clearly separate Networks and VNFs.

  • This separation represents a more realistic scenario, in which a VNF service (designed via SDC) uses a pre-existing network service from the catalog.

  • Teams are discussing what MSO and SDN-C APIs to use, without adding new code at this stage of the project

  • Reviewed VPP-based VNF development. The work is finishing up. A minor problem will be fixed soon, and the doc will be released this week.

  • Communicated with DCAE to find that both the collector and analytics app have base code ready. Optimization work is ongoing.

  • Reviewed workflow design and test with SO team. SO just updated the repo to v1.1, which is a major code merger. SO team did state that the workflow design and test is non-trivial. The team will have another session on  this to understand if there is blocking issues and what could be the solution.

  • The team has started M4 progress checking for each design and test item: vCPE Design and Test Cases

• VoLTE Use Case

  • Finalized the design of networks between vEPC VNFs. Each VNF will have 3 ports for control, data and OM networks respectively. Common control network, data network and OM network will be shared by all VNFs 

  • Finalized the design of networks between vIMS VNFs, the network design is similar to vEPC VNFs.

  • Agreed on DCI network which will use L3 VXLAN as overlay, and underlay remains to be the same of L3 VPN. Also WAN and SPTN will be tested separately during integration test. 

  • Reviewed A&AI scheme change to support network service instances

  • VoLTE development tasks are tracked on VoLTE Use Case Development Tasks

• ONAP installation for Amsterdam release (OOM vs. Heat)

  • Added a new CLAMP VM to the Heat stack, as per CLAMP team request.

  • Installed ONAP via OOM multiple times in the WindRiver lab. There are issues due to resource limitation (the current VM cannot host more than one full ONAP instance)

  • Health status of the ONAP platform doesn't seem dependent on the installation method.

• Release / O-Parent

  • Independent Versioning and Release Process officially rolled out to the community

    • JIRA tickets logged against all project for tracking

    • A checklist item has been added to M4 and RCx checklist template

  • ONAP Version Manifest Maven Plugin (Decommissioned) for checking dependency versions has been rolled out

  • O-Parent has released two versions of artifacts so far; current version is 0.1.1

  • Initial version of O-Parent for Python has been added

  • Ongoing help to the community on Jenkins jobs, CSIT, O-Parent implementation
    
    
    

• E2E Integration Lab

  • The ONAP deployment environment is being deployed, plan to install WindRiver Titanium to keep align with Developer lab.

  • VNF vendors, Huawei and ZTE, are deploying VNFs in TIC Edge to integrate with VIO 4.0, will be done by the end of this week.

  • Nokia is deploying vISCSCF and vTAS in TIC core, the task is almost be done, there is some issues should be handled in this week 

  • We will begin to integrate VNFs from different vendors together next week, do some service level configuration manually to try to make a successful VoLTE call.

• Developer Lab

  • Had a meeting to scrub the bugs reported lately by integration team, and listed out top blocking issues. 

  • Tested ONAP1.1 branch. Created 6 new JIRA tickets
