Proposed Agenda

  •  Service descriptor (Lin Meng, Lingli Deng)

Past calls

20180718

Agenda

  • Andy-Service Order
  • Kevin-Service Catalog

Participants

Hui Deng, Kevin, Andy, Thinh, Xu Yang, Lin Meng

Minutes

service order - Kevin

  • Kevin illustrate the Papyrus model for the service order, including ServiceOrder and ServiceOrderItem class, based on TMF model (TMF have a root class named businessInteraction of serviceOrder, similarly businessInteractionItem  as root class of serviceOrderItem, but as ONAP doesn’t need business interaction, so here Keven delete the root classes)

service catalog – Kevin,Andy

  • Kevin illustrate the UML diagram for the service catalog model, and gives an introduction of the background information. 
  • TMF SID model includes catalog model and service specification (i.e., service descriptor) model, it’s clarified that the current scope is to model the service specification part. Kevin clarified, herein, in ONAP, the service specification is the same as service descriptor.
  • There’s a middle layer (ServiceCandidate) in TMF SID model describing the relationship between the catalog item and a service description (capturing properties like durationTime in the catalog), further discussion is needed to decide whether to model this part in ONAP. Do we want to model the ServiceSpecifications directly  related to ServiceCatolog or do we need a middle layer to handle many relationships?
  • Service package could be described using the attachment class?but not sure.
  • There is a schema link to serviceSpecification, the service descriptors publishing in the SDC catalog is the schemaLocation.
  • There is a need to create a Json representation for all the input parameters of service  that could be shared among all the ONAP components.
  • There are two different opinions of the concept of recipe?Thinh think receipe could be change into specifications or descriptors, but Kevin think receipe represents the workflow.
  • The scope of TMF ServiceCatalog is much larger because it also includes the management of catalogs.
  • Main purpose of the external API (which is related to service catalog) is to provide information of the service descriptor.

Agenda

  • composite pattern UML diagram review (Lingli)

  • service order proposal (Andy)
  • CCVPN proposal review (Chuanyu)
  • recursive orchestration (Gil)

Participants

Lingli Deng, Hui Deng, Gil Bullard, Kevin Scaggs, Andy Mayer, Xu Yang, Chuanyu Chen,

Minutes

  • composite pattern UML diagram review (Lingli )
    • The team agreed on applying the pattern on the service domain and recommended the model subcommittee to initiate a call for agreement to move on.

  • service order proposal (Andy)
    • No comment received on the digram, will bring detailed model spec for further discussion next week.

  • Recursive Orchestration Discussion (Gil)

    • Gil wen through his slides deck very briefly due to the limit of time.

  • Service Catalog status update (Kevin)

    • WIP. Will bring proposal to discussion next week.

  • CCVPN usecase service proposal (Chuanyu)

    • The current proposal is not bounded to service composite. If R3 supports service composite, then CCVPN could be an instance of the service composite class, which needs coding in SDC and SO. Otherwise, several services need to be initiated in a boundled as instances of the service atomic class, which does not require any re-coding in SDC or SO.

Agenda

  • composite pattern UML diagram update
  • service modeling high level requirements

Participants

Lingli Deng, Hui Deng, Gil Bullard, Kevin Scaggs, Andy Mayer, Xu Yang

Minutes

  • composite pattern UML diagram update
    • Lingli introduced the revised composite pattern UML diagram at (add Link) and received uniform consensus. Gil will be presenting his ideas on the next call.
    • The following suggestions received to refine the VoLTE example diagram:
      • Kevin: Change VNFD, VLD names into VNF Descriptor and VL Descriptor (in consistency with the resource modeling domain terminology)
      • Andy: VoLTE service as an instance of ServiceAtomic rather than a subclass of the latter. Suggest to follow IISOMI or ETSI NFV style to represent it in UML class diagram.
      • Kevin: Add run-time section and stick to a common pattern to model the relation between the instance and the descriptor.
      • Andy: addition of connection point to the resource domain, and addition of service access points and connection points to the service domain
  • service modeling high level requirements
    • Andy: service order proposal from external API to be reviewed and discussed later
    • Kevin: Service catalog proposal in WIP to be reviewed and discussed later

Agenda

  • CCVPN Service IM Proposal

Participants

Lingli Deng, Joel Halpern, Nigel Davis, Hui Deng, Gil Bullard, Kevin Scaggs, Anatoly Katzman, Jianguo Zeng, Lin Meng, Michel Besson (TMForum), Michela Bevilacqua, Samuli Silvius, Victor Gao, Vishnu Ram OV, Xu Yang

Minutes

  • Gil asks whether the discussion about service atomic and service composite was closed?He suggests to allow resource to be directly associated with service, so that a composite service could be comprised of resource or other service or both. Lingli said last time in the discussion, they remove the aggregation relation between service atomic with resource, instead they build a mapping relation between service and resouce. Lingli said she will publish that for offline reading.
  •  Zengjianguo presents service IM proposal for CCVPN
    1. Three services are established for CCVPN service:VPN_infra service, Site_DC service and Site_Enterprise service.
    2. The content of Config_resource in Site mainly include the location and site service type?this kind of information actually belongs to service level. But as it's common sense that SDC  d doesn't support service configuration, we call it config_resource. The restriction that service can't have its own attributes in SDC result in defining an individual part(here we define it as config_resource) in the implementation of DM. But people all agree that the design of IM should be defined in a proper way. We suggest model committee to bring up this restriction to SDC team to solve it.
    3. Chenchuanyu explains how alotted resource works: it combines two instanced service by setting the parameters for VPN like UNI. Such information is confirmed only when a site is placed in. Doing in this way makes the deplyment of site flexible.
    4. There is argument on how to store resource in VPN_infra service like whether to store it in AAI. Still need to be discussed.

  • 5 min Agenda Bashing

               No agenda items added, went with the proposed plan

               Jianguo presenting IM Proposals for resource/service modeling regarding CCVNP usecase.

               Resource classes include site and VNP connector.

               More formal contribution would be handed in for followup discussion, with detailed class/attribute/relation definitions.

  • 20 min Nigel Review Comments on Composite Pattern Revision Proposal
        Nigel raised the concern that composite pattern should be applied in a proper level of hierarchy.
        Since there is not concrete counter proposal on the table, it is advised to move on with the existing proposal, and further excising the proposed skeleton with more detailed attributes/relation definitions and verifying if there is potential issues in the contexts of Casablanca use cases, especially those related to networking scenarios and seeking Nigel‘s constructive suggestions on refinement if needed.

Minutes

  • agenda bashing

               no agenda items proposed, went with the proposed agenda, but Nigel requested and was granted time to do a partial presentation on his analysis on design pattern options

               The problem is described and a composite pattern based proposal and high level mapping to a number of usecases (including new complicated usecases) is presented.

               More refinement to the proposed skeleton will be provided next week to clarify some of the cadinality/relation/attributes questions.

  • wan proposal update (Lingli)

               Wan descriptor proposal is renamed as wanconnection (as suggested by Kevin last week) and will be moved to resource domain for modeling integration (as suggested by Jessie earlier on the wiki).
               In the same time, in Lingli's proposal, wan service is proposed to be remained as a service component in the service domain, which has a relation to wanconnection in the resource domain, to address Michela's comment last week.

  • Nigel presented partly his anlaysis on design pattern options and will have a further discussion next week
  • next week call is rescheduled two hours earlier than the current time slot for having both Joel and Nigel participance in the pattern discussion

Agenda

  • design pattern discussion (composite v.s. recursive)
  • wan service descriptor updated proposal and last call for comment
  • brain storming for R3 service IM working items (suggested by Kevin)

Participants

Lingli Deng, Alex Vul, Andy Mayer, Kevin Scaggs, Zhuoyao Huang, Hui Deng, Janusz Pieczerak, Xu Yang 

Minutes

  • Design Pattern Discussion (composite v.s. recursive)
    Suggestion from LA workshop to use composite pattern instead of recursive aggregation was presented to the modeling subcommittee the two weeks before for a call for consensus. There was no objection but two remaining requests for confirmation on potential comment from Nigel (by Andy) and a comparison between the two (by Kevin). 
    Lingli started an offine discussion thread including related SDO experts for a discussion and clarification of concerns on the two options.
    Due to the MEF meeting this week, neither John or Nigel made it for the discussion online. It is suggested and agreed  that  Lingli would post a public wiki track of discussion points and call for comment from the broader community before the discussion for conclusion.
  • WAN Service Descriptor Updated Proposal (Zhuoyao)
    Zhuoyao presented the latest proposal which is updated according to Nigel's comments and clarified all the class and attributes are currently a subset of ONF CIM. 
    It is suggested that a last call for comments from the community be initiated for two weeks until May 10th.
  • Brain Storming for R3 Service IM Working Items (suggested by Kevin)
    • Connectivity service/resource concepts:
      • Alex and Andy (with Nigel help) suggested clarify similarity/difference/mapping between different SDO concepts for connectivity resource/service. E.g.their relationship similiar connectivity modeling between VNFs and NSDs (Alex), ONF FC concept for connectivity, connectivity as a service, SFC, virtual link.
    • Service component/pattern/flavor
      • Kevin: service component, pattern, service flavor. Potential extension to ESTI concept of network service, suggest to take a reference to OSM also. Alex could help set contact for OSM TSC Chair for later discussion.
    • Service usage/performance monitoring/close loop
      • Lingli and Andy: usage/performance metric modeling at service, potential usecase for assurance, close loop, dace, service level event
    • Service order
      • Andy: service ordering model, license, external API
    •  Coorindation needed with other tracks, and conduct the brain storming at a higher level is suggested

3) R3 DT resource DM have critical issue whether we are going to improve R2+ model or redesign a new DM for R3+

4) ONAP service model is broder than ETSI Network Service

5) Product/Offer is out of the scope of ONAP service model

6) The workshop made the following concensused suggestion:   

  • Cardiality correction by John
  • Suggest to move to composite pattern  instead of recursive aggregation   
  • Decoration pattern is FFS   
  • Terminology need to be defined (e.g. clarifications on service component as with the one in MEF)

Discussion (Partially covered during the flow of discussion)

Minutes

• ONAP R2+ service IM Discussion Review

• SDO Perspective

• MEF (Jack Pugaczewski) - MEF API Development Approach provides an introduction to MEF LSO and proposed a tooling chain that triggered the discussion of common information model methods and strategies. It was agreed that the ONAP community can be used as a catalyst to promote CIM from vision to implementation between related SDOs of the Radeon. However, the ONAP's own design and implementation of the model is not tied to the existing specification or specification plan of the CIM or any other SDO. The ONAP model work is based on the developers' willingness to contribute, and the development of the version is the iterative design and organization cycle of the discussion. MEF models are still evolving and featured with the model-driven approach and usage of decorator pattern.

• TMF (John Wilmes) The advantage of staying compatible with the legacy systems is highlighted from TMF SID modeling proposal. A mapping analysis of the ETSI NFV IFA model to the TMF SID in terms of the ETSI NFV vCPE use case is proviced. It is suggested to supplement the ONAP service scenario with a service-level mapping analysis, add elaboration on the relationship between SID and openAPI, and submit to the next level discussion on Friday Workshop.

• ONF (Nigel Davis) - ONF Modeling introduced the ONF modeling experience, and it is envisioned that the modeling for both resource and service would converge. Specific suggestions for WAN descriptor refinement based on ONF CIM and TAPI were presented. It is recommended that the follow-up continue to discuss the model design refinement offline.

• ONAP R3 Service IM Proposals

  • Service Order (Andy/Kevin) - Skipped for lack of presenter
  • Service Component:
    • Network Service Descriptor (Maopeng Zhang)
      • NSD IM: If no furture comments on the NSD IM are received next week, it will moved into the clean page.

      • NSD DM: R2 NSD Model as resource was discussed. SDC has supported NSD node definition, and more detail is needed discussed with SDC team.Thinh requests to accelerate the NSD data model

    • Service Component: WAN Service Descriptor (Zhuoyao Huang)
      • Nigel suggested 3 options for improvements to ONAP WAN model:  

        Option 1 (Core overlay):  Follow CIM concept, LC/XC is FC, import LTP and Link, node is FD but not NE.

        Option 2 (TAPI overlay):  Follow TAPI concept, LC/XC/FC is connection, FC port and XC point replaced by CEP and NEP, import Topology.

        Option 3 (M.3100 overlay): Change some names for aligning with ONF IM concepts( following ITU-T Recommendation M.3100 ) better and keep the UML class topology of original WAN IM proposal:

  • Discussion for follow-ups
  • Lingli provides customer-facing business scenarios as input for service model discussion and comparison by Tuesday;
  • For Friday workshop, each presenter (including SDOs/individuals) is expected to provide their respective proposal models and with the context of customer facing business scenario;
  • Based on which, the team is expected to develop a more clearly scoped target and collaborative pattern for R3+.

Agenda

Minutes

  • Agenda bashing (Lingli)
    No comments received and proceeded with the proposed agenda.
  • Service IM recap and update(Kevin) 
    No update made to the clean version as agreed back in December F2F. (Kevin)
    Concerns raised about potential alignment conflicts with MEF service models, which would be discussed further in March F2F.
     (Mehmet and others)

  • Service DM proposal (Maopeng)
    It is clarified that both network service and wan service are derived from service component. The network service as it currently represented is a simplified subset of Network Service as define by ETSI NFV, without VNFFG or Deployment Flavour etc. (Maopeng)
    UML class diagram for corresponding IM design was requested to be added. (Andy)
    More sophisticated design for virtual link might need to be considered for some service provider scenario, contribution to be expected in later discussion. (Thinh)
  • WAN service modeling proposal (Zhuoyao)
    It is recognized as a good approach to proceed, suggest to add consideration for covering both intra-DC connectivity and inter-DC connectivity for underlay. (Gil & Andy)
  • Wrap up
    All participants are encouraged to leave their comments to the wiki discussion pages for further discussion and better tracking.
