. While it is essential to carry out a detailed study on the inter-provider interactions and overall impact on ONAP as a solution, the scope of this page will be limited to the impact on External API. Additionally, while the focus is on the MEF interlude specification, there is some good amount of work being done in many SDOs to address some of the inter-provider management interactions - notably TMForum, ETSI, NGMN, ONF, IETF etc. It is worth noting the scope and outcome of these SDOs and analyze some best practices that ONAP can incorporate. It is also worthwhile to note how other opensource communities tackled this issue. Further, the page also captures the requirements from External-API point of view to support Interlude like inter-provider interaction. |
