Maopeng Zhang, Xu Yang, Hui Deng

Minutes

1. Yan presents VFC requirements for NSD. VFC project implement ETSI NFVO, which needs to consume the NSD. VFC also needs standard NSD. VFC would like to receive the NSD from SDC. In the long run, VFC also needs to receive NSD from OSS and BSS.
2. YangXu presents NSD updates from the resource IM calls ?Proposed Network Service Descriptor Model?. From his understanding of previous calls of reousrce IM CALL, NS is a composition of VNFs, VLs and topology of how to construct a service, which are all in the domain of resource. NS is different from the service we want ONAP to handle.
3. From Lingli and Andy's discussion: For IM, we agreed to move NSD to resource domain for Casablanca. But for Dublin+, there are considerations on having also service domain reflection on resources (including network service).
4. MaoPeng presents NSD proposal: NSD requires to do some limitation in NFV resoures composition, not all the SDC resources and substitution mappings to NS TOSCA node.
5. Currently we are working on enabling interworking commercial NFVO deployment with ONAP community version
6. For R4+, the relationship between Service template and Network Service Template would bette be guided jointly by Architecture and Modeling subcommittee, for NSD in R3, please Maopeng’s help to propose to SDC and check whether it could be acceptable in SDC for such new node type.

1.Currently, service atomic and service composite pattern can be put into clean version page.
2.Need to talk about the definition and attributes of atomic and composite classes.
3.On next modeling subcommittee call, officially announce begin Service DM.
Further questions:
1. To get the concept of allotted resource into the model.
2. Lin suggests to work together with Kevin on service descriptor.
2. Current designs of service catalog,service order and service descriptor are very draft proposal.
For service catalog design, currently based on we have needs for multiple catalogs and we have composite service design in the service descriptor.
The 0 relation between service candidate and service descriptor doesn't refer to the configuration time.

Agenda

  • LinMeng-Service Order
  • Kevin- Service Order and Service Catalog

Participants

Lingli Deng, Ling Meng, Anatoly, Andy, Hui Deng, Gil, Kevin, Maopeng, Thinh, Xu Yang

Minutes


  •  Lin introduces her draft service descriptor IM based on the SDC example CSAR file. She also takes reference to external API model. Thinh questioned whether to model the capability, the relationship as a class because they are all node type described in the service yaml file. Lingli and Thinh suggests to delete the topology class in Lin’s design. Parameters in each class need to be confirmed in later study.
  • Kevin introduce the service order IM. The design is similar to the one presented last week. The red attributes are what the internal components need to interact with the external API. Kevin also design a state as a numeration to describe the state of the service order, referencing the TMF model. Andy suggests to realize them in Json. Kevin guess the service order and service order item might belong to a high level hierarchy but Gil confirms it is at the service descriptor level.
  • Kevin introduce the service catalog IM. Main concern is around whether to associate the service descriptor directly or put a middle layer between them. Lingli thinks it may depend on whether the service candidate is actually adding some semantics to service descriptor. Other concerns also include do we have the business need to have multiple catalogs, and do we need to have a service descriptor in a given catalog multiple times for different time periods and also how do we handle moving a descriptor from a test catalog to a production catalog.

    • No comment received on the digram, will bring detailed model spec for further discussion next week.

  • Recursive Orchestration Discussion (Gil)

    • Gil wen through his slides deck very briefly due to the limit of time.

  • Service Catalog status update (Kevin)

    • WIP. Will bring proposal to discussion next week.

  • CCVPN usecase service proposal (Chuanyu)

    • The current proposal is not bounded to service composite. If R3 supports service composite, then CCVPN could be an instance of the service composite class, which needs coding in SDC and SO. Otherwise, several services need to be initiated in a boundled as instances of the service atomic class, which does not require any re-coding in SDC or SO.

    • Lingli introduced the revised composite pattern UML diagram at (add Link) and received uniform consensus. Gil will be presenting his ideas on the next call.
    • The following suggestions received to refine the VoLTE example diagram:
      • Kevin: Change VNFD, VLD names into VNF Descriptor and VL Descriptor (in consistency with the resource modeling domain terminology)
      • Andy: VoLTE service as an instance of ServiceAtomic rather than a subclass of the latter. Suggest to follow IISOMI or ETSI NFV style to represent it in UML class diagram.
      • Kevin: Add run-time section and stick to a common pattern to model the relation between the instance and the descriptor.
      • Andy: addition of connection point to the resource domain, and addition of service access points and connection points to the service domain
  • service modeling high level requirements
    • Andy: service order proposal from external API to be reviewed and discussed later
    • Kevin: Service catalog proposal in WIP to be reviewed and discussed later

Minutes

  • Gil asks whether the discussion about service atomic and service composite was closed?He suggests to allow resource to be directly associated with service, so that a composite service could be comprised of resource or other service or both. Lingli said last time in the discussion, they remove the aggregation relation between service atomic with resource, instead they build a mapping relation between service and resouce. Lingli said she will publish that for offline reading.
  •  Zengjianguo presents service IM proposal for CCVPN
    1. Three services are established for CCVPN service:VPN_infra service, Site_DC service and Site_Enterprise service.
    2. The content of Config_resource in Site mainly include the location and site service type?this kind of information actually belongs to service level. But as it's common sense that SDC  d doesn't support service configuration, we call it config_resource. The restriction that service can't have its own attributes in SDC result in defining an individual part(here we define it as config_resource) in the implementation of DM. But people all agree that the design of IM should be defined in a proper way. We suggest model committee to bring up this restriction to SDC team to solve it.
    3. Chenchuanyu explains how alotted resource works: it combines two instanced service by setting the parameters for VPN like UNI. Such information is confirmed only when a site is placed in. Doing in this way makes the deplyment of site flexible.
    4. There is argument on how to store resource in VPN_infra service like whether to store it in AAI. Still need to be discussed.

Minutes

  • Design Pattern Discussion (composite v.s. recursive)
    Suggestion from LA workshop to use composite pattern instead of recursive aggregation was presented to the modeling subcommittee the two weeks before for a call for consensus. There was no objection but two remaining requests for confirmation on potential comment from Nigel (by Andy) and a comparison between the two (by Kevin). 
    Lingli started an offine discussion thread including related SDO experts for a discussion and clarification of concerns on the two options.
    Due to the MEF meeting this week, neither John or Nigel made it for the discussion online. It is suggested and agreed  that  Lingli would post a public wiki track of discussion points and call for comment from the broader community before the discussion for conclusion.
  • WAN Service Descriptor Updated Proposal (Zhuoyao)
    Zhuoyao presented the latest proposal which is updated according to Nigel's comments and clarified all the class and attributes are currently a subset of ONF CIM. 
    It is suggested that a last call for comments from the community be initiated for two weeks until May 10th.
  • Brain Storming for R3 Service IM Working Items (suggested by Kevin)
    • Connectivity service/resource concepts:
      • Alex and Andy (with Nigel help) suggested clarify similarity/difference/mapping between different SDO concepts for connectivity resource/service. E.g.their relationship similiar connectivity modeling between VNFs and NSDs (Alex), ONF FC concept for connectivity, connectivity as a service, SFC, virtual link.
    • Service component/pattern/flavor
      • Kevin: service component, pattern, service flavor. Potential extension to ESTI concept of network service, suggest to take a reference to OSM also. Alex could help set contact for OSM TSC Chair for later discussion.
    • Service usage/performance monitoring/close loop
      • Lingli and Andy: usage/performance metric modeling at service, potential usecase for assurance, close loop, dace, service level event
    • Service order
      • Andy: service ordering model, license, external API
    •  Coorindation needed with other tracks, and conduct the brain storming at a higher level is suggested
