Introduction

The PNF Registration and Re-registration Notification is generated whenever the a CPE is plugged into the network either for the first time (registration) or whenever the CPE is plugged into a different interface of an access node in the network (re-registration..

Upon reception of the notification within ONAP by a DCAE collector, the notification is mapped into a VES event and placed on the DMaaP bus for processing by the DCAE/PRH uS.

BBS Flows Cross Reference

The PNF Registration notification is used within the following use case scenarios:

• HSIA Service Creation and Activation
• Nomadic ONT Service

PNF Registration and Re-registration Flow

Figure 1. BBS PNF Registration and Re-registration Notification Flow Diagram

Here  are the flow by steps (WIP):

10) Access SDN M&C reports the PNF registration event to DCAE/PRH

1. 1. This notification may be sent to the Restconf VES collector for translation and mapping into the PNF registration VES event as described here.

20) DCAE/PRH then processes the PNF registration event logic where PRH determines if the event is a registration or re-registration event. 

1. 1. The determination if this event is a registration or registration for starts or if the PNF has already registered with ONAP. 
   2.  If the ONT/PNF is re-registered,  a pnfUpdate event with pnf-id and PON UNI is produced by PRH onto DMAAP.

30) For the PNF re-registration, the UpdateServiceMSvc

      30.1) consumes pnfEvent from DMAAP,

      30.2) looks up the service-instance-id by the pnd-id (ont-SN) ,

      30.3) produces a Nomadic ONT event with service-instance-id and PON UNI, OLT (??) to50 DMAAP

40) Policy consumes the Nomadic ONT event and calls SDNC API  with input of the service-instance-id along with the new PON UNI/OLT, etc.

50) SDNC API conducts the service resource re-provisioning upon the ONT location change.

60) The PNF registration procedure continues from step 9 to completion

DCAE

PNF Registration Event

The BBS Use uses the ONAP pnfRegisration event with additional fields to identify the Access Node UNI to which the CPE is attached.

This pnfRegistration Event definition can be found at link:
https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/5G+-+PNF+Plug+and+Play#id-5G-PNFPlugandPlay-STAGE3-PNFREGISTRATIONVESEVENT

The field definitions use for the BBS Use case for ONT Registration:
	eventName: pnfRegistration_<vendorName>_cpe
	eventId: unique per CPE proxied – incremented as described
	sourceName: <PNF-name/PNF correlation ID>: Format string: <Manufacturer
	OUI>-<SerialNumber> or <Manufacturer OUI>-<Model>-<SerialNumber>
	reportingEntityName:<thirdparty-sdnc-id> from esr request
	additionalFields:
		oltName: <OLT name>
		oltPONSlot: <OLT PON Slot>
		oltPONPort: <OLT PON Port>

PRH Extension

PNF Re-registration Detection

Refer to PNF Re-registration detection logic handled in 5G use case by extension of PRH micro-service.

PNF for ONT in A&AI

Refer to ONT/PNF definition in ONT modeling. 

PNF pnfUpdate Event

This event is the output of PRH active service detection and is consumed by BBS MS.

Nomadic ONT Event/DCAE_CL_OUTPUT Event  (WIP)

This event triggers Policy engine to call SO API to modify the associated HSIA service.

Control Loop (Micro-service) Orchestration

There are basically 2 ways of CL creation and micro-service orchestration in BBS Nomadic ONT scenario.

1.  Restconf collector + VES Mapper + PRH + Policy Engine
2. VES Collector + PRH + Policy Engine

Notes:

Interestingly,  this is the first case where DCAE/Policy seem playing roles together in a non-closed/loop or service assurance in sense of usage/solution in ONAP domain,  However,  this does not really matter in the sense of micro services since service is a service as long as it provides the functionality that meets the requirements in a solution, An argument could be that Policy engine does not have to be introduced in this case, However, the important functionality for policy engine is to decouple action takers from the trigger pullers and ultimately establish robust policy driving on this platform w/o code change.
