Bulk PM develops the capability for the PNF/VNF to send performance measurement data to ONAP. A file ready is sent via VES and the files are pulled via sftp. PNF/VNFs collects performance measurement data periodically (configurable). It also introduces the parsing of files (3GPP defined format) conversion to VES format.
Business Impact - It provides a generic ability which ONAP service providers will find useful for the collection of PM information. Performance measurements is viewed as a fundamental capability for Network Elements, "P" in FCAPS. General PM capability most network functions will likely have measurements. The framework of file transfer can be used in future use cases as well.
Business Markets - This capability is added for 5G it is generic and could be used for other services as well. It could be applicable to other products beyond 5G most domains will likely have measurement files including transport.
Funding/Financial Impacts - This capability, once developed, will be able to be used by any service provider deploying and using ONAP. Thus, driving cost savings so that Bulk PM functionality doesn't have to be redeveloped multiple times. This is an enabler for closed-loop automation to collect data to detect anomalous conditions. As such, it can have a large potential OPEX savings impactFunding/Financial Impacts - x.
Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies - xThere is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this use case outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
