  • Year End 2017 call plan
    • Discussed and agreed on the following plan:
      • Keep Dec. 19 OT-IM call
      • Keep Dec. 21 OIMT calls
      • Cancel Dec. 26 OT-IM call
      • Cancel Dec. 28 OIMT calls
      • Cancel Jan. 2 call (Not available: Yuji, Rod, Andrea, Aikra)
      • Keep Jan. 4 calls (Not available: Rod)
  • 2018 meeting plan: Not change. See Face-to-Face Meetings
    • Noted that the March 12 - 16, 2018 London meeting is the same week of the OFC San Diego meeting
      • Action item - Kam: send email to the group to make aware of the overlap of the 12-16 March 2018 London meeting with the OFC San Diego meeting
  • Posting of large file
    • No problem with TR-512 draft and publication. The solution is:
      • The TR-512 v1.3 suite will be published on the ONF public library.
      • The draft of the TR-512 v1.4 suite will be segmented into small subset to fit the file size limitation of wiki posting
    • Issue remain is posting of minute recording.
      • Typical file size of a one-hour meeting is near 100 mb, which is way exceed the wiki limitation
      • Bernd: Who needs to listen/view the meeting recording.
        • Answer: Mainly Nigel and Kam for making the meeting minute more complete and accurate
      • Kam: Attendees are welcome to update the wiki minutes page.
      • Nigel: Need to ensure simultaneous editing. That will cause crash.
      • Action item - Nigel: Will research the possibility of using GooglePage/Doc, which seems allow parallel editing
      • Kam: In the meantime, please feel free to update the wiki minute page, either after the call or pause Kam while in the call
  • Time for discussing UML-OpenAPI and UML-ProtoBuf review comments
    • Kam reported on the current status of the group review and received comments.
      • See below (v1.4 Topic) for the status
    • Action - Chris and project leads (Nigel, Kam, Lyndon): To contact CORD & ONOS colleagues (Sapan/Scott/Andrea) to to ensure having feedback from them.
    • Action - Kam: Schedule time for comment discussion. Set for January 4 Thursday OIMT IM-D slot
  • MEF liaison (Andrea/Nigel)
    • Nigel to get input from people at the ONAP meeting this week, and follow up with Andrea for closure
  • ITU-T Q14/15 liaisons (Kam)
    • The two LSs have been posted on the ARO Archive wiki page https://wiki.opennetworking.org/pages/viewpage.action?title=Liaisons&spaceKey=AA.
    • Currently there is a problem with the access control. Access is denied even one logs into that page. Cassandra is working to resolve the problem.
    • The LS is posted here temporarily.
    • The LS to ONF (SG15-LS81: Liaison Statement on Information Modeling (to OIMT and OTCC Projects) has items relevant to OIMT:
      • Requesting multi-layer examples. Related to TR-512.A.4, A.5, & A.6
      • Media management model
 Action from Nov. F2F Meeting 
  • Core model ongoing work items (v3)
  • Action items from Nov. 2017 Face-to-Face Meeting (v1)
    • Kam reminded people to sign-up for the action items
 v1.3.1 
  • #7: Layer examples (Xiang/Nigel):
    • Nigel noted that he, Xiang, and Malcolm had worked on the layer examples during the London meeting last week.
    • He present the figures and asked the group's opinion on how details the layer protocol stack should be shown in the figures. For example in the Figure 3-1 below
      • Should the ODU stacks be explicit or collapsed? For example,
        • Explicit: i.e., showing all the "sub-layers" of the ODU2 protocol stack; or
        • Collapsed i.e., collapse all the sub-layers of the ODU2 protocol stack. Note that the properties of individual sub-layers are still modeled in the pacs.
      • Decision from the group: Showing once at the begining all the sub-layers and the corresponding collapsed views. From then on, just use the collapsed view.
        • Thus, the following figure (Figure 3-2) will be simplied.
      • Action - Nigel/Xiang: will update the figures
      • Nigel already has the surrounding description text.
 v1.4 Topics

Not discussed

  • Model backward compatibility
 v1.4 Topics 
  • #1: Controller (Nigel)
    • For TR-512.8
    • Nigel presented the model sketch
    • Key artifacts: ControlComponent, ControlPort, UserRole, ProviderRole, ControlSystemView, ControlTask
    • ControlSystemView is a kind of ConstraintDomain
    • ControlComponent is a kind of ProcessingConstruct;
      • Has more details/specific with respect to the generic ProcessingConstruct
      • Involve another entity (the thing being controlled)
      • Other kinds of ProcessingConstruct are such as FC, C&SC, LTP, ...
    • ControlPort: Talk to it about
      • two roles: provider or user. Can have both on a ControlPort instance
      • two type of controls: sysn and asyn;
        • apply (act on): input constraint, output constraint
        • retrieve
      • Signal (notification) for Async
    • G.8052 MeasurementJob is a kind of ControlTask
  • #5: OAM
    • Andrea reported in the progress: Had discussion, but no update yet;
    • Action item - Andrea:
      • Set delicated call(s) for discussion
      • Assign sub-work-item to team members: Kam, Bernd, Malcolm, Xiang, Nigel, Yuji, Karthik, Scott
  • #12: Entity Lifecycle
    • A draft update has been produced; Got comments from Chris; further updates have been made; Will close with Chris on the commetns; Will share the draft in a OIMT call in January 2018.
    • Still a long way, mainly what & where to document. Entity lifecycle is relevant to many entities. May be in an Appendix of TR-512.
IM-FEthernet OAMKam
  • Fix the schedule of discussion to IM-A
  • G.8052.1
    • Kam presented briefly the MEP Pruning & Refactoring sketch
    • Discussed pruning of the ETH TTP & CTP classes
      • ETH TTP and ETH CTP
        • layerProtocolName, lpDirection, and terminationState: Need further thought. To check if the IEEE YANG already has support on these or not.
        • alarmStatus, currentProblemList, and alarmSeverityAssignmentProfilePointer: Need further thought.
        • Sketch-PR-TP diagram
    • Discussion will be continued at the OTIM call next week
  Bernd

Bernd presented briefly the UML model of the IEEE cfm YANG module (re-engineered).

  • It was pointed out that the UML Model

    • is still not complete
    • contains all YANG artifacts
    • mappings to be reviewed are highlighted in blue
    • artifacts for which mappings are missing are highlighted in red
    • attribute cardinalities are all [1] (Papyrus default) and still need to be set

    The YANG modules which are imported by the cfm YANG module contain only those artefacts used in cfm; i.e., are not complete at all.

  • Discussion will be continued at the OTIM call next week
