Description:
The current SOTN(Software Optical Transport Network) has some obvious disadvantages:
- Manual labor is highly needed in service scheduling and resource maintenance which is time-consuming and costly.
- With the high demand for large bandwidth in private line, the expansion to OTN is required. The network needs to be reconstructed under this condition.
- There is no bridge or platform to connect different service providers.
Considering the above aspects and the advantages of ONAP, we want to explore the combination of ONAP with Cross Domain and Cross Layer VPN.
Three phases in the whole plan:
- PHASE1: Combine SOTN with ONAP, to manage and orchestrate services automatically.
- PHASE2: Take both SOTN and SD-VAN into account, and combine them with ONAP.
- PHASE3: Build up the international private line, to realize the connection between ONAPs.
Specific sub-use cases are:
...
- Service onboarding
- Service configuration
- Service termination
- Auto-scaling based on fault and performance (stretch goal)
- fault detection and auto-healing (stretch goal)
- data correlation and analytics (stretch goal)
ONAP will perform those functions in a reliable way. Which includes:
