Meeting Minutes - 1/20/2021

Key Questions: 

#1 What does ONAP offer to an enterprise customer (IoT, Financial, Healthcare, Gaming, etc) that we can't get from existing cloud offers or outside the Cloud.

#2 What does ONAP offer on top of that outside of the telco space?

Different Scenarios

1) 3rd party vendors using ONAP to serve their enterprise customers (operating model - managed services)

...

3) Enterprise customers running ONAP themselves (on their premises), supported/trained by 3rd party vendors

Additional thought(s)

#1 Investigate what Openstack is offering to Enterprise Business?

...

#5 Kick-off a survey to get feedback about interest and use cases

Meeting Minutes - 6/23/2021 @7.30 am PST 

Meeting Minutes - 7/7/2021 @7.30 am PST 

...

Meeting Minutes - 7/21/2021 @7.30 am PST 

  • Magma/ONAP Integration - latest updates
    • Prabhjot Singh Sethi
      • #1 enabling 5G as part of the Access GW will be part of the next Magma release (v1.6) but roadmap not yet finalised
      • No major in the Configuration API discussed on 7/7
      • Network slicing and complex features will be part of later Magma releases (but not v1.6)
  • LF Edge - Ike Alisson
    • Discussion about Network Slicing
    • Information sent offline by Ike
      • Functionalities (3GPP TS 23 501 Rel 17 June 2021) related to "Session Service Continuity"  (deliberately not including details on SSC Mode 1-3 related to UPF/PSA selection/re-selection) and "Local Traffic Routing" functions/capabilities for "inter-" and "intra-"  Platforms/Systems  communiction (HPLMN and VPLMN) with regard to %G NFs Cloud Native factors adoption in CSP Service Solution Frameworks.

        Related to that, there is also the issue of Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting (also as part of the Security) (SUPI; SUCI; GUTI) for both, Applications/Service commissioning/instantiation and Users and related to them UEs.


        As it is recently stated in some reports on that issue (adoption of Cloud Native capabilites and Cloudification in CSP/Cellular/Wireless Networks), it becomes apparent that VNFs implementing NFs such as Firewalling, IP Address assignment or Switching & Routing might not be able to comply entirely with the Cloud Native paradigm.

...

  • Questions about Magma: Is there any performance metrics about Magma? How many users per GW etc without any additional infrastructure? Prabhjot Singh Sethi said that Magma team said that currently put high physical devices as an Access GW, you will get a better number.

  • Prabhjot Singh Sethigave some information about Akraino Blue print part of LF Open Source Component Projects for 5G. Magma GW has a monolithic architecture and not yet foreseen for Edge blue print.
  • Chaker Al-Hakimwill join Akraino TSC meeting to provide some awareness about  LF Open Source Component Projects for 5G.

Meeting Minutes - 8/4/2021 @7.30 am PST 

  • SABRES (Secure, Adaptive, roBust, Resilient, and Efficient Slices) presented by Dr Erik Kline

Meeting Minutes - 8/18/2021 @7.30 am PST 

...

SO queries OOF for slice template selection and then slice instance selection. In response to slice instance selection query, OOF may return an existing slice instance or may recommend SO to create a new slice instance. A new process called Orchestration Task is created to manage recalibration of NSI&NSSI selection with manual intervention from the portal. A new SO adapter is created to be the adapter of NSSMF which will interact with external NSSMF for NSSI management. See the SO Impacts and Interfaces wiki page for details.
