SIM (@Alex Stancu)

• Figuring out Netconf call home over TLS - needed for proposed O-RU usecase.

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Cert exchange is very tricky - similar issue with REST Callbacks over A1 (HTTPS)

  • @Martin Skorupski @Alex Stancu@Former user (Deleted) No clear answer - Need cert management function. Perhaps should check how this is done in "PNF registration using VES" - had a similar issue .... to check

• @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) New Simulator @Alex Stancu no update ... session at O-RAN F2F was re-scheduled

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

• Requested to remove links to O-RAN specs - difficult where these links appear in already published docs/pages - should O-RAN Alliance enforce any license check before being able to access protected docs?

ONAP - OSC

Proposed O-RU usecase

• @Martin Skorupski Re OAM ...

  • need to be careful that call home messages do not use a new controller port each time - need to align IDs to prevent this.

  • need clarity on Yang models ... cannot re-publish 3GPP-based models, and use-case specific models should be discouraged ... for further study

• @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Re NONRTRIC/rApp

  • It is clear that this is not a real-world use case & not standards compliant in many ways, so it is not clear if there will be benefit in building more that a placeholder/minimum rApp ... e.g. a simple script.

    • (Will drive another NONRTRIC hello-world rApp use case to help drive requirements & nonrtric/smo platform services)

  • Need to check with @Mahesh Jethanandani about plans for message router etc for this use case.
