The Swisscom virtual BNG and Edge SDN M&C for the ONAP BBS use-case is a demo system. It is a functional prototype and it is not meant for production use. The whole system is running in a single OpenStack VM and therefore only able to support a small number of subscribers. The forwarding dataplane is implemented fully inside the VMs Linux networking stack and therefore not designed to support high data rates. The system is able to interact with ONAP according the BBS use-case definition.

Below a diagram of the whole end-to-end architecture, the Edge SDN M&C + vBNG VM is highlighted:

OLT Onboarding Configuration

Heat runs the following scripts inside the vbng directory on stack creation automatically, the parameters passed to heat are kept in $HOME/vbng.conf for persistence:

  • vbng/00-installdeps.sh             

    • Update the system, install dependent packages, setup docker.

  • vbng/01-setupdatapath.sh      

    • Set up the datapath part, including shaping, routing and NAT.

  • vbng/02-setupcontainers.sh   

    • Update docker images and start all containers.

You may re-run those scripts as many times as you wish, work will only be done once. Also keep in mind you must re-run these 3 scripts on VM instance reboot as well. OLT onboarding configuration is not done by heat, since OLT parameters are normally not known on heat stack creation time. Therefore another script can be used once the vbng instance is provisioned:

  • vbng/03-setupolt.sh                 

    • The script takes accepts exactly 6 parameters to specify tunnel characteristics. Already configured OLTs are kept in $HOME/oltmap.txt. E.g.:

      Code Block
      [centos@vbng ~]$ vbng/03-setupolt.sh 
      Usage: vbng/03-setupolt.sh <vxlan_data_ip> <vxlan_data_port> <vxlan_data_vni> <vxlan_dhcp_ip> <vxlan_dhcp_port> <vxlan_dhcp_vni>

      Setting up VxLAN tunnel interface dhcp0 (172.30.0.145:4789 VNI=100)
      Adding port dhcp0 to bride dhcp...

ONT/Subscriber Configuration

...

Subscriber management is normally done by a host process subscribing to the message queue and configuring subscribers automatically. In case manual interaction is required those two scripts will help you out:

  • vbng/04-setupcustomer.sh
    • Enable a particular customer
    • Usage: vbng/04-setupcustomer.sh [olt_id] [s-vlan] [c-vlan] [customer_ip] [traffic_profile_id]
  • vbng/05-removecustomer.sh
    • Remove a particular customer
    • Usage: vbng/05-removecustomer.sh [customer_ip]

ONAP Configuration

The installation and initial configuration of Edge SDN M&C + vBNG is done by an Heat stack template, see above. The parameters which must be modified in ONAP are the following:
