2018-05-14 OTCC TST Meeting Notes

 update on ONF discussion with Timon

• New Technical Leadership Team has been formed and is meeting weekly (https://www.opennetworking.org/tlt/)
• Reference Design work will start up soon
• Basic outlines identified
  • Four near term Reference Designs revolving around ODTN, P4/NextGenSDN, NFV/DC and Residential Broadband (loose titles)
  • Two longer term projects around Mobile and Multi-Access Edge
• Timon sees TAPI integration with ODTN as very positive
• I noted that WT work is also potentially something that could be used in Mobile and Multi-Access Edge designs
• He is open to any ideas/proposals for making OTCC work more visible
  • process for defining and using APIs is by nature somewhat chaotic and bottom up rather than top down
  • Karthik: should we try to start a OTCC-oriented reference design, e.g., multi-layer networking? This could incorporate both TAPI and WT work - could be tied to Multi-Access Edge
    • Something to discuss across OTCC, see if there is interest/support in this

 Related update on ONF ODTN project

• Phase 1 in progress: TAPI NBI from ONOS, OpenConfig SBI to transponders
• Phase 1.5 in planning: adds line systems, possibly using TAPI extensions
  • TAPI control of line systems overlaps with TIP OpenOLS objectives
  • Operators want this work to be integrated with TAPI efforts rather than standalone
  • Karthik notes fairly large gap between Ph 1 and Ph1.5, Ph 1.5 incorporates much more L0 aspects - will need to bridge modeling and practical
  • Input from Martin S. will help -

• OIF

  • Demonstration testing to start in the next weeks

• MEF

  • Andrea: expect more progress in July meeting - main topics are MEF core model relationship and use of tooling - a number of MEF projects are using ONF core model and TAPI, including NRM, also implementations

  • Nigel: also realization that work needs to go faster/more agile and more integrated with open source activitiies

  • note liaison being sent from OIMT to MEF and ITU-T (check to make sure it is getting to MEF)

- any items to note from subprojects

• TAPI
  • L0 optical model being worked on - objective is to support traditional modeling as well as disaggregation, as well as interoperability with the same model
  • OAM is also a major topic - updates planned for this week for Ethernet OAM model
  • Equipment model (mainly discussed with OIMT)
  • Focus is now TAPI 2.1
• OTIM (Kam not available today)
• WT (Giorgio not available today)
• DPIM (Thorsten not available today)

• June face-to-face
  • Note for people to reserve hotel rooms ASAP
• next OTCC call
