2022-03-24 OIMT Meeting notes

• April 19 - 22
• Potential topics added to the list
• Will finalize the list next week

ONF open github https://github.com/OpenNetworkingFoundation/CoreInfoModel git attributes merged

• Handle line endings automatically for files detected as text and
• Leave all files detected as binary untouched

SG15-LS1: LS/o/r on ONF OIMT early draft TR-512.A.15 on Controller Lifecycle and Security (reply to ONF-LS010 – TD801/WP3)

• LS was received on 22 March
  • The attachment is a marked-up copy of draft TR-512.A.15.  
• Nigel Davis  To post the LS on the liaison wiki page

Stephen walked through the Q12 & Q14/15 feedback on draft TR-512.A.15

• The TR-512.A.15 draft was considered in the Q12 & Q14/15 February E-meeting
  
  • 3.2 The figure: Should reference Fig. 6-1 of ITU-T G.7701 Common control aspects (2022)
  • 3.2 Last figure: The assumption of entity relationship in the server to client contexts needs to be clarified.
  • 3.3 The Controller overview figure: Suggest re-labeing for consistency. Suggest to consider additional content of RDB.
  • 3.4.1 Client: Suggest to clarify that a client context is not aware if its cleint uses the CM for a network slice.
  • 3.4.2: "link" should be "interface"
  • 4.1 Platform creation: Might want to breakout CPU, memory, storage explicitly from compute resources. Still  under the heading of compute resources.
  • 4.2 Adjacent controllers: Need clarify what adjcent mean, client/server or peer?
  • 4.3 Need more discussion on Local planned resources and Local transport resources; In what contect does the Links belong to? 
  • 6.2 Multiple views: Clarify CPI. Does CPI contain one or multiple sessions
  • 6.2.1 View translation: Commonality with descriptions in G.7716.
  • 7 Controlled access session references: Similar to call control in G.7701. There are existing protocols for peer authentication and closed user groups etc.
• Larger topic - Compute.
  • The draft provoked extensive discussion in Q12 & Q14 on the computing resources, the metrics that could be used to describe compute resources, and how they might be allocated.
  • What is the quantity of compute resources; how to allocate that 
  • MB: This first draft is try to identify the areas that we need to address.
  • MB: How to prevent a client from accidentally overload the compute resource of the controller impacting the performance. Then what do we try to constraint - memory, storage, etc.
  • SS: 6.2.1 compute resource recursive allocation: following networking recursion could be helpful, but for compute resources it will very limited in depth.  
  • SS: The boundary between compute & networking is becoming blurry.

Follow up:

• More dialog between ONF and Q12/Q1, specially on compute.
• Q12/Q14 e-meeting on April 12 & April 14
• ONF should respond, even partial result
  • Need at least one more iteration of the draft

Progress of refactoring the Core log record into stream (ND) 

• Feedback from the 3 March OIMT call was that the direction makes sense
• Nigel shared the work in progress: 
  • 
  • Streaming-uml.png
  • Last time talked about the entities related to streaming.
  • Has looked at two aspects represented in TAPI: 
    • The sturcture of the stream record itself: StreamLogRecord, StreamRecord
      • StreamLogRecord has LogRecordHeader and LogRecordBody (related to the content)
    • The stream capability: StreamProvider, AvailableStream, SupportedStreamType, 
      • SupportedStreamType (techincal characteristics of the stream) has LogDetails (mechanism such as compacted logging, time truncated logging etc.) and ConnectionProtocolDetails (protocol such as WebSocket  etc.)
      • LogDetails is related to StreamLog; 
      • ConnectionProtocolDetails is related to ControlPort
      • ControlInteraction: super structure
• Will carry on in this direction. Simply experimental
• MB: Who is in charge of what. Is  the user or other entity to pick the protocol of the Exposure Context. Exposure context is the content. Who decides how I view it.
