      • Very positive feedback

      • Meeting organized between ONAP TSC & OSC TOC co-chairs & Linux Foundation

        • No update from this meeting yet. Watch TOC calls in coming weeks.

 

  • @Damian Nowak (Nokia) Any udate about O2?

    • @Martin Skorupski Draft version Information Model from WG6 - very draft-ey & under discussion

 

  • A1 Proxy: Hieu Nguyen - Has left Samsung, and unlikely to continue this work

    • @Pawel Slowikowski Any update for using Kong?

      • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Unclear the need - instead want to handle a 3rd party proxy below the A1 adapter

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Kong as an approach for isolating functions in ONAP sounds useful in general though.

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Should come up with a picture/page describing this topics. (Action)

 

  • @Pawel Slowikowski Feedback Notification for A1 Policies.

    • Where is the endpoint for receiving notifications

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Currently we don't have a requirement for how to use the feedback. Simplest option - which we use - is the feedback goes direct to the policy creator - bypassing the A1-PMS

    • Also considering having A1-PMS acting as an aggregator for this feedback. But we do not want policy-type-specific functionality in the A1-PMS. But currently feedback is policy-type-specific.

    • @Pawel Slowikowski Is it spec compliant wrt feedback?

      • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Yes. Definitely. There is nothing in the spec to say where feedback goes or how it is handled.

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) We use a simple common feedback/notification receiver function in our demos etc.

    • Currently we have no use case or requirement for anything more sophisicated yet.

    • Ref also question from @Krystian Kedron on slack https://onapproject.slack.com/archives/C01K8CNUJA2/p1617110362003600  @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Apologies for missing this on slack.

    • Usecase?

      • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Could be useful for UE-specific policies where UE moves between near-rt-rics. One useful notification would be that the UE-specific policy is non-enforceable so needs to move?

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Very much welcome community feedback here.

    • @Pawel Slowikowski Note Samsung uploaded use case to ONAP INT. Might be useful use case for notifications?
