NSD Requirements:

1,  VFC project requirement

  • VFC project implement ETSI NFVO, which needs to consume the NSD. 
  • VFC needs to expose NFVO northbound SOL005 interfaces to SO or OSS/BSS/3GPP Management System
    JIRA : VFC-635/VFC-648

                                        

                  


2,  NSD vs ServiceD differences:

             Service Descriptor in SDC R3:    Service composites many resources in the SDC, including SDC AID resources(vf, extVL, AllottedResource) and R2+ resources.

             NSD in VFC:   NSD composites VNFD, PNFD, and NSVirtualLink, nested NSD, etc,  ETSI NFV resources.

             NSD requires to do some limitation in NFV resources composition, not all the SDC resources and substitution_mappings to NS TOSCA node

    VNF node type is already defined in  Node Type, remove the node type definition here and refer to. 

    1. maopeng zhang

      I update it, and add the reference URL.

  2. Thinh Nguyenphu

    Would you please add to this page with a reference to original proposal and concept which was presented back in early spring, ONAP R2+ Design-Time Service DM Input.

      I add it as related pages. Hope it good for you.
