R5 El Alto Release
EUAG has decided that R5 El Alto will be a "maintenance/technical debt" release.
https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/display/LN/EUAG+2019-04-09+meeting+minutes
The El Alto release will be shortened (3-month cycle) and focused on internal (tech) debt and defect backlogs. And every 5th ONAP release will be a maintenance release.
PTLs had taken short cuts to meet deadlines, working but want to make the platform more robust. PTL driven code fixes and code hardening.
S/W Enhancements (e.g. GUI enhancements) would be pushed to R6. Feature enhancements would be pushed to R6
R5 will be focused on Refactoring, JIRA backlog reduction, vulnerability issues, Test Coverage, Test Automation (CI/CD pipeline), Deployment procedure, Documentation.
R5 - Security Scans, scan code reports sent to PTL for major things to fix. Vulnerabilities have been built. Vulnerability management process. Security gates checklist.
SUMMARY: There will be no new Software development for new functionality in R5; but there will be Jira tickets worked on (PCI/SON); and modeling work for 5G RAN.
TITLE | DESCRIPTION | CATEGORY | WIKI |
---|---|---|---|
PCI/SON ENHANCEMENTS | Optimization and PCI (SON) development. Dublin Carry-over items will be worked in R5. There are two Jira tickets open for SDN-C. | 5G Operational Optimization | PCI (SON) in R5 El Alto, PCI (SON) in R6 Frankfurt |
5G SERVICE MODELING | Defining and Modeling a 5G Service for Design Time and use by other 5G Use Cases. Defining the Platform Data & Information model and PNF Resource for a 5G RAN. | 5G FCAPS Discovery 5G Operational |
R6 5G-SPECIFIC USE CASES (Frankfurt Release)
Release 6 will be a "normal" release but with an extended M1 from June to Aug 29.
TITLE | DESCRIPTION | CATEGORY | WIKI |
MOBILE SERVICE CHAINING | Enhanced Management and Operation for Mobile Service Chaining (move out of 5G? proposal from KDDI) | 5G Operational Optimization, 5G FCAPS | MOBILE SERVICE CHAINING |
CREATION OF SERVICES | End-to-End Service Creation (IoT) ONAP for facilitation. Atul Purohit (move out of 5G?). Present at the U/C realization on June 19th 2019 |
TITLE | DESCRIPTION | CATEGORY | WIKI |
5G SERVICE MODELING | Defining and Modeling a 5G Service for Design Time and use by other 5G Use Cases. Defining the Platform Data & Information model and PNF Resource for a 5G RAN. | 5G FCAPS Discovery 5G Operational | 5G RAN SERVICE MODELING & DEFINITION in R6 Frankfurt |
OOF SON ENHANCEMENTS | Optimization and OOF SON development. Dublin Carry-over items. OOF (SON). SDN-R Network. Policy Control Loop Coordination. | 5G Operational Optimization | PCI (SON) in R5 El Alto, PCI (SON) in R6 Frankfurt |
5G CONFIGURATION & 5G NETWORK TOPOLOGY | 5G RAN physical/logical topology information (SDN-R) Core & RAN elements. 5G Configuration, provisioning of a 5G Network. SDN-R should contain the 5G Network Topology. CM Audit. CM Mediation. CM run-time storage / data persistency (MariaDB) | 5G CM (FCAPS) | 5G CONFIGURATION & 5G NETWORK TOPOLOGY |
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS | Performance Measurements Use Cases (including Bulk PM, RT PM and PM Dictionary) | Data Collection 5G FCAPS | PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS USE CASES: Bulk, RT, Dictionary |
BULK PM (PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS) | Performance Measurements 5G RAN Bulk Upload. Improvements will be made and carry - overs from R4 Dublin. Partially 5G Specific, and Partially "Generic". Can be evolved for use with generic PNFs (beyond 5G) | Data Collection 5G FCAPS | 5G BULK PM Management in R6 Frankfurt |
5G PM DICTIONARY (PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS) | Support for handling & support for PM Dictionary & PM Schema (from standards). Eventually other PNFs will support faults, but right now 3GPP specific formatting is used in the PM artifact. Can be evolved for use with generic PNFs (beyond 5G) | PNF Support Data Collection 5G FCAPS | FM META DATA & PM DICTIONARY in R6 Frankfurt |
5G FM META DATA (FAULT MANAGEMENT) | Support for handling FM Meta Data. Eventually other PNFs will support faults but right now 3GPP specific formatting is used in the FM. Can be evolved for use with generic PNFs (beyond 5G) | PNF Support Data Collection 5G FCAPS | FM META DATA & PM DICTIONARY in R6 Frankfurt |
NETWORK SLICING | Advanced 5G functionality, for Network Slicing development and early steps in long-lead development. | 5G Operational Optimization | NETWORK SLICING in R6 Frankfurt |
END TO END NETWORK SLICING MANAGEMENT | (CMCC) LIN MENG Lingli Deng Advanced 5G functionality, Management of Network Slicing development | 5G Operational Optimization |
5G USE CASE ASSESSMENT:
The following table was to assess whether use cases are related to 5G (are 5G specific) or whether they are general PNF use cases.
The General PNF use cases have been moved to their own wiki: General PNF Support Use Cases
TITLE | Requirement / Platform Enhancement vs E2E Use Case | 5G Specific |
5G SERVICE MODELING | Requirement / Platform Enhancement | 5G Specific |
PNF PRE-ONBOARDING & ONBOARDING Use Case | Requirement / Platform Enhancement | General |
CONFIGURATION WITH NETCONF | Requirement / Platform Enhancement | General |
BULK PM | Requirement / Platform Enhancement * Could be evolved eventually to be PNF & domain generic. | 5G Specific * |
5G FM META DATA & 5G PM DICTIONARY | Requirement / Platform Enhancement * Could be evolved eventually to be PNF & domain generic. | 5G Specific * |
PNF PLUG AND PLAY | E2E Use Case | General |
PNF S/W UPGRADE | Requirement / Platform Enhancement | General |
SON PCI ENHANCEMENTS | Requirement / Platform Enhancement | 5G Specific |
NETWORK SLICING | E2E Use Case | 5G Specific |
