- Abstract network function (NF)
- abstract concept which is the base class of VNF, PNF and ANF (allotted resource)
- onboarding VNF/PNF may be translated into internal NF, enabling the run time components to choose the right form (VNF, PNF or ANF) for deployment
- onboarding information would be captured as requirement/capability of the "NF"
- UML diagram draft for NF model:
- OnboardingNfPackage, OnboardingNfDescriptor, InternalNfModel and NfInstance are abstract concept
- OnboardingVnfPackage, OnboardingPnfPackage, OnboardingPnfDescriptor, OnboardingVnfDescriptor, InternalVnfModel, InternalPnfModel, PnfInstance and VnfInstance are concrete concepts
- Onboarding and Internal models are for design time (which go into SDC catalog), and Instance models are for run time
- ANF is to be added
- cardinality needs to be fixed
