This page shows the differences between the current clean version model with ETSI IFA011 v2.5.1 and other proposed changes:
- Verified against IFA011 v2.5.1 and IFA015 v2.5.1
- Added "Attribute Type" column to indicate whether the class attribute is an "attribute" or member end of an "association". Without this information it is difficult to create a class diagram. We might want to consider also for those "Attribute Types" that are associations to put whether there is shared or composite aggregation, or no aggregation at all. Note: This will not be necessary when model is put into Papyrus, as all associations will start with "_"
- Changed attribute Applied Stereotypes to represent the actual stereotypes being applied, and not just a property of a stereotype. Note: When the model is in Papyrus, GenDoc will output this field correctly.
- Added class definitions and applied stereotypes. Note: GenDoc will do this correctly when the model is in Papyrus.
- Proposal to define actual enums and not use the general term "Enum". Make sure the model captures these correctly in Papyrus.
- Proposal to remove incorrect usage of valueRange in OpenModelAttribute stereotype. Make sure this is not incorrectly propagated to Papyrus.

A VNFD is a deployment template which describes a VNF in terms of deployment and operational behaviour requirements. It also contains connectivity, interface and virtualised resource requirements.
