OSC Project roundup

NONRTRIC (John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

  • Control panel re-engineering ongoing - backend mainly
    • To streamline API exposure for control panel
  • Starting some prototyping around rApp execution platform & packaging.
    • Will present a more detailed proposal in coming weeks.

SMO (Mahesh Jethanandani)

  • Mahesh has a scheduling conflict at this time

SIM (Alex Stancu)

  • Working on Netconf call home over TLS (vs. SSH) - needed for proposed O-RU usecase.
    • Need a updated of ODL - beyond Aluminum (Silicon)
  • New Simulator Alex Stancu
    • Extensions of NS3 models/plugins for RAN simulation
    • Facebook? & Berkeley ? Alex Stancu will begin joining calls
    • Very little detail at this stage

OAM (Martin Skorupski)

  • Continuing to work on 2 main use cases:
    • Callhome to VES:pnfRegistration
      • Provide functionality to provide a VES pnfRegistration event in SMO for events that only support NetConf Call Home
      • Configure device to send call home event & cert management, mountpoint in controller, then listen for callhome & translate to VES event to VES collector
      • Some updates to the O-RU FH use case needed - to be discussed in RSAC
      • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Kamel Idir How does this interact with the ONAP Plug & play usecase? Martin Skorupski No effect, this enables the use case to work with functions that do not already provide the VES event pnfRegistration. No effect in controller - e.g. if the node is mounted again. 
      • Ref SIM topic above about call home over TLS - (Step #5 in call chart at Callhome to VES:pnfRegistration)
      • Vidhu Call flow shown is for O-RU ... Similar needed for O-DU? Martin Skorupski No. Uses normal VES event itself. Vidhu Already implemented? Martin Skorupski Yes in SIM Simulator. Only required for MPlane O-RUs
      • Pawel Slowikowski Is network required for this call home? Other protocols? Martin Skorupski Currently must be netconf according to O-RAN Alliance.
    • o-ran-fm:alarm-notify to ves:fault
      • Still in progress - for O-RU use case
      • Similar to above to translate netconf faults from O-RU into VES events

ONAP - OSC

Swaminathan S cannot attend this meeting. Suggesting only attending every second week due to timing.

ONAP Topology Service/Model (ref last week)Andy Mayer

O-Cloud question from Lasse Kaihlavirta

Other

  • Konrad Bańka Still looking for interesting topics to contribute in A1 Policy work in ONAP
    • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Many of our requirement already done for Honoloulu
    • If interested, we're examining how to add HTTPS proxy support for A1 Adapter (e.g. Former user (Deleted) Bastion in a real world deployment) but may have serious knock on effects for other functions & regression testing using SLI graphs etc ....
    • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Any other ideas, requirements or contributions are very welcome from the community (smile)


  • Sowmya Narayanasetty
    • Questions re setup A1 Policy functions (ref last week & week before) ...
      • Still trying to view policies not showing up in control panel. & Struggling with configuration
      • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Please continue to engage over email. Most likely a configuration error. More verbose logging information and setup environment information would be useful See also tests in ONAP (CSIT) and OSC (nonrtric/tests) for more examples too.
