Discussion in PNF Modeling & PNF Onboarding package.

Discussed April 24, 2018

(1) PNF Modeling - Modeling enhancements to support 5G PNF in ONAP. Model inheritance definitions for PNF. SDC modeling improvements from Beijing PnP Use Case.

(2) PNF Sharing - SDC model updates for PNF characteristics focusing on PNF inter-connectivity

(3) PNF-SDK - SDK provided from Vendors. This will help model the PNF

(4) CDT Enhancements - improving CDT to handle complex configuration templates, multiple templates per FNC, identifying different sources for template data, integrating CDT into SDC, expanding CT usage to other controllers.

(5) PNF Onboarding - PNF Package definition - Artifacts definition, Meta data file, main service template, TOSCA template. Separated by types of artifacts. Separations by folder for different types. Place artifacts in categories.

(6) PNF Onboarding - PNF Package distribution - distribution of the PNF package.

    All,

      Here are the slides from today's Modeling discussion for PNF Plug and Play/PNF Onboarding.

    HI Ben, some clarifications


    • can you elaborate:  PNF Sharing - SDC model updates for PNF characteristics focusing on PNF inter-connectivity?


    • In slide 40, the PNF package definition in the VNF-SDK is the following.  

    PNF packages similar to VNF packages. PNF Descriptors, artifacts. In PNF not doing deployment process in SDC. Only PNF configuration. Model a PNF. Onboard PNFs (create templates service configuration). Orchestrate a service on a PNF. Service provisioning. Life cycle: Template/service orchestrated. For PNF every PNF vendor makes this package. Need specific PNF properties. Image details. ONAP updates the image.

    in slide 41, PNF has no onboarding package.

    Can you clarify the similarities and the differences respect to the VNF package for the onboarding and deployment processes?

      Would also like an answer to this.

      Is a PNF package necessary or not ?

    Benjamin Cheung hi can you please update the ppt on this page.

      Michael Lando,


         I have uploaded it to the 5G Use Cases pages, so to prevent duplication, I would suggest going to that page.

    @Benjamin Cheung There is a typo in the link above (makes it broken) - fyi

    The correct link is:

    Use case proposal: 5G- RAN deployment, Slicing, SON

    HI,

    the PNFD model is still to be finalized in the modelling context.

    I´ve raised my concern in the modeling page: PNF resource IM proposal
