Action Items / Task Assignments

TAPI 2.0.1 Items

Items that will be part of the 2.0.1 Release

  • TAPI RI Updates
    • Compile tapi-connectivity.swagger using swagger-codegen tool
    • Use swagger-codegen to generate Python-flask server and Python client stubs
    • Returns responses from a predefined/static json file
  • Yang Updates
    • Yang modules meta data/information - Copyright, version, contact, etc 
    • Generate a TAPI Yang module that includes/imports all TAPI modules as a convenience
  • OpenAPI/Swagger updates
    • Update to the .swagger files generated from yang using eagle tool (updates to the eagle Yang2OpenAPI tool)
    • '-' in REST input parameter names need to be replaced by '_' to confirm with python-flask/connexion convention
      • no change to class/attribute/enum names
    • Handle augmentation pattern in a better/intuitive manner
      • example: Currently tool generates a additional element ContextSchema for augmentation instead of injecting onto the Context element
  • Add additional rates to LayerProtocolName
    • DSR/DIGITAL_SIGNAL_RATE layer
  • Add CapacityPac to the NodeEdgePoint
    • This information is need to expose NEP capabilities when modeling fixed-mapping cases in a compact/simplified manner without presence of Links/TransitionalLinks attached to the NEP.
  • Capacity attributes are always read-only in current version
    • This needs to be read/write when used in ConnectivityService request
  • Rename Context class to TapiContext to avoid Yang compilation issues in both ONOS and ODL
    • issues with having both the container and grouping having same same "context"
  • Enhance the Notification::ObjectType enumeration to include additional TAPI 2.0 classes
    • MEG, ME, MEP, MIP, MeasurementJob, NodeRuleGroup, InterRuleGroup, SwitchControl, Rule, Switch, Route, etc 

Github Issues

General Areas to be worked on (target at least 1 item per week for discussion in TAPI call - a brief contribution should be provided)

  • UML Lifecycle sterotypes - capture maturity of TAPI classes/attributes explicitly - no stereotype means "not determined"
  • Entity Lifecycle - (Lifecycle/Operation/Administrative state enumerations): need more explanation, documentation and inter-state-dependency diagrams
    • Some state diagrams are available in Core IM 1.3 Foundation module (512.3 figures 3-4, 3-5, 3-6 & table 16)
  • Topology pacs: need develop descriptions/examples how that can be used
  • "key" attributes should be extensible enumerations instead of string type (e.g. address-type, cost-name)
  • Termination pac (State/Direction) - needs discussion on usage or even if we need them
  • Generalized Capacity data structure
  • OTIM- OCH & OTSi usage clarification from ITU-T SG15
  • Extensible Enumerations - should all TAPI enumerations be extensible by default ?
    • Semantic v/s vendor/interface/run-time extensible
  • Backward compatibility
  • NMDA compatibility
  • Multi-vendor Inter-operability gaps
    • Can it be addressed by development guide/guidelines?
