The idea of using control loops to automatically (or autonomously) perform network management has been the subject of much research in the Network Management research community, see this paper for some background. However, it is only with the advent of ONAP that we have a platform that supports control loops for network management. Before ONAP, Control Loops have been deployed by hard-coding components together and hard coding logic into components. ONAP has taken a step forward towards automatic deployment of Control Loops by allowing parameterization of Control Loops that work on the premise that the Control Loops use a set of analytic, policy, and control components connected together in set ways.

The goal of the work is to extend and enhance the current ONAP Control Loop support to provide a complete open-source framework for Control Loops. This will enhance the current support to provide TOSCA based Control Loop definition, development, deployment and run-time management. The participants that comprise a Control Loop and the metadata needed to link the participants together to create a Control Loop are specified in a standardized way using the OASIS TOSCA modelling language. The TOSCA description is then used to deploy and manage the Control Loops in the run time system.


1: Overall Architecture

The diagram below shows an overview of the architecture of TOSCA based Control Loop management.


The Design Time Catalogue contains the metadata primitives for composition of control loops. As shown in the figure above, the Design time component provides a system where Control Loops can be designed and defined in metadata. This means that a Control Loop can have any arbitrary structure and the Control Loop developers can use whatever analytic, policy, or control primitives they like to implement their Control Loop. At deployment time, the user parameterises the Control Loop and deploys it. A design time catalogue is created. This catalogue contains the primitive metadata for any components that can be used to compose a Control Loop. A Control Loop SDK is used to compose a Control Loop by aggregating the metadata for the components chosen to be used in a Control Loop and by constructing the references between the components.

Once the Control Loop is composed, it is deployed to the run time part of the system, where it is stored in the run time catalogue and is available for instantiation.

When a user wishes to instantiate a Control Loop, they set values for the parameters of the Control Loop. Once the parameterization has been carried out, the Control Loop instantiated, with the metadata and whatever other artifacts are required being passed to the participants in the Control Loop. At runtime, the Control Loop can be monitored and analysed. It can also be updated  as required and can be deleted when it is on longer needed.

The Control Loop Runtime Management will use ONAP services for non-functional aspects such as inventory, topology and data delivery.

2: Control Loop Modelling

Joseph O'Leary to pad out this section

A Control Loop service template is made up of several components, those which represent applications, those which represent dynamic config schemas, and the actual node_templates which makes up the loop itself.

Applications can be a DCAE microservice, an operational policy, or any other application as long as it can be modeled, and the targeted ecosystem to has a participant client waiting for the event distributions from CLAMP via DMaaP Message Router.

Dynamic config on the other hand can be a monitoring policy, or any other resource that provides config to parts of the loop, can be updated after the run time phase has started and is supported by the components hosting the applications in the control loop.

2.1: Control Loop TOSCA file definition

2.1.1 Control Loop Component Definition 

A Control Loop Component that can be part of a control loop, it defines the components that partake in a control loop, and are implemented at run time by participants. The control loop component definition is truly dynamic and, as long as the participant that the control loop component definition relates to understands its definition, it can be anything. However, we have designed a base control loop component attribute that's generic and that can act as a good starting point.

2.1.2 Loop Definition

The loop definition is implicit in the node_templates within the topology_template, any node contained within is expected to be a part of the control loop managed by CLAMP.

The below example doesn't explicitly include any order, ordering of deployment is to be considered in the future which likely would lead to changes to this

3.1: Deployment

Ajay Deep Singh to pad out this section

This section defines Deployment/CRUD Operations that can be performed on ControlLoops.

A Client, in this case CLAMP, can perform CRUD operations or can deploy ControlLoops from DesignTime to RunTime Catalogue Database.

DesignTime/RunTime Catalogue Database stores ControlLoop definitions, CRUD operations on database supported by REST Endpoints like Get, Delete, Create allowing selection of a particular ControlLoop to be addressed, below sequence diagram will help you understand flow how a client(Clamp) application can initiate Rest call for performing different operations on Database.

API_Gateway Service is for interacting to different database DesignTime/RunTime and should be responsible for responding success or failure status on different operations.

The deployment of ControlLoops definition from DesignTime to RunTime Catalogue Database can we achived using deploy Rest Endpoint, in this process when a rest request is initiated from a client(Clamp) the API_Gateway Service take cares of fetching ControlLoops metadata from DesignTime and creates in RunTime Catalogue Database, Deploy API ControlLoop Sequence diagram will help you understand the flow.

In future deploy Rest Endpoint might be updated to push ControlLoops not only in RunTime Database but to the participants involved in ControlLoop.

3.2: Instantiation

Robertas Rimkus to pad out this section

This section refers to Instantiation of a Deployed control loop. A client, in this case CLAMP (potentially DCAEMOD, etc in the future) will render the deployed control loops allowing selection of a particular control loop to be instantiated. User will then provide the configurations needed to instantiate the selected control loop which will be sent onto the CL_Instance_Control Service. The service will then distribute the configurations to DMaaP topic. Participants (agents) will pull the event containing the config and pick out their control loop components to be instantiated and start/set up those particular components. CL_Instance_Control Service will be waiting for a response back from all participants involved in the instantiation of the control loop, in regards to the state of instantiation. In successful response case the service will store the CL Instance LCM data into the runtime DB as well as providing a message back to the client of the successful instantiation. In failure to receive the response case, a timeout will be called, which will result in a teardown event being sent to DMaaP. The participants will then receive the event and proceed to teardown the components that were instantiated or check that they have failed to instantiate in the first place and send a Teardown ACK back to the CL_Instance_Control Service. No CL Instance LCM data will be stored and a message indicating failure to instantiate the CL along side with the error will be sent back to the client (CLAMP).

3.2.3: Instantiation DMaaP API

Initial Thought for an event to be sent from CL_Instance_Control onto DMaaP for Participants to consume. The event would go onto an output topic which the Participants would be polling/subscribed to

e.g url : https://{{ONAPIP}}:{{DMaaPPort}}/events/CL_INSTANCE_CONTROL_OUTPUT

CL_Instance_Control Event to DmaaP 
{
  "instance-id":"myCLInstance1",
  "action":"INSTANTIATE",
  "configurations":[
    {
      "participant-id":"Participant_DCAE",
      "applications":[
        {
          "application-id":"example.pmsh",
          "config":{
            
          }
        },
        {
          "application-id":"example.dfc",
          "config":{
            
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "participant-id":"Participant_Policy",
      "applications":[
        {
          "application-id":"example.OperationalPolicy",
          "config":{
            
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}


*Preferred solution is to send TOSCA in the body. Meaning we could reuse the parsing code which is already present and provide it to the participant. 

3.2.4: Instantiation Participant API

*Suggestion was to put JAVA API code in this section for the participant talking to DMaaP. TBD

3.3: Monitoring

In this case it refers to monitoring the data that the participants will provide to DMaaP. Participants will send events to DMaaP which will be pulled by the CL_Monitoring_Service. The data provided should include a reference id to the control loops that are instantiated on the participant, as well as the applications that have been instantiated as a part of that control loop for that participant. Data should also include the time that the application has started, state of it (running/terminated) and any other critical information which would help to determine the health of an instantiated control loop and its components. Idea is for the participant to provide events every certain period of time, similar to a health-check, in order to provide consistent monitoring.

3.3.3: Monitoring DMaaP API

Participants will send an event containing monitoring data to a DMaaP topic at a set interval after participant has received an event to instantiate a control loop

e.g url: https://{{ONAPIP}}:{{DMaaPPort}}/events/CL_MONITORING_SERVICE_INPUT

Example event from Participant to DmaaP 
{
  "timestamp":"1605689254",

}

3.3.4: Monitoring Participant API

Presume similar thinking to Instantiation Participant API

*Suggestion was to put JAVA API code in this section for the participant talking to DMaaP. TBD

3.4: Supervision

Supervision is responsible for ensuring that

  1. control loops are established once their initiation has been ordered
  2. control loops are running correctly once their initiation is completed
  3. control loops are correctly removed once their removal has been ordered

4.4 Other Considerations

4.4.1 Upgrade

Performing a hot upgrade of the Control Loop at run time as well as handling an upgrade of the software in one or more of the participants in an Control Loop is a particularly challenging issue because upgrading must handle the following cases without tearing down the Control Loop:

  • Upgrade and changes of the configuration data of participants
  • Addition of or removal of participants in an Control Loop
  • Upgrade of software in one or more participants in an Control Loop
  • Maintenance of compatibility between participants when an update of more than one participant must be done  together to ensure compatibility, for example, when a protocol being used by two participants to communicate is upgraded


5: Goals

5.1: 

  • Design of Management Apps
    • Specifying the source data
    • Specifying the analytics, machine learning, and AI algorithms they want to use in their App
    • Specifying the policies that govern the App
    • Specifying the format, parameters, and mechanisms required to allow the App to autonomically adjust the network
    • Preparing and specifying use cases to demonstrate the applicability of Management Apps
  • Life cycle management of Management Apps
    • Deployment of Apps
      • Bringing the App itself and all its constituent components to life
      • Stitching the data links between the components in the App together
      • Initiating generation of the data that triggers the App to execute
    • Updating of Management Apps
      • Allowing the parameters, algorithms, policy, of controller configuration data to be modified on executing Apps
    • Deletion of Apps
    • Life cycle management is demonstrated using the use cases specified in the design phase
  • Monitoring and analysis of Management Apps
    • Specification of metrics for monitoring and analysis
    • Allowing general App data and data specific to particular Apps to be collected at run time
    • Storing of the monitored data
    • Running general App algorithms or algorithms for specific components of Apps on the monitored data to ensure that the Apps are running correctly and optimally
    • Feedback of App performance results to users
    • Allowing the autonomic Apps themselves to have autonomic self-healing.
    • Monitoring and analysis is demonstrated using the use cases developed in the project
