00:00Software Inventory

Last week we started a discussion about Software Inventory.

  • Software Management (download, install, activate) is not in the current focus
  • Relation to hardware inventory (equipment) is required

An YANG example which is useful can be found here: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/OAM/Software+Management (just as inspiration and to check if there are missing parts in CoreModel 1.4)

Please see contribution by TEF (Edurado) https://wiki.opennetworking.org/download/attachments/265093121/200928-TEF-working-document-FirmwareModeling.pptx?api=v2
... which also guides discussion for License ManagementRoberto Servadio

RMON counter

  • RMON counter in ETH-Container, while others are in MAC-Interface
  • Open question: Where centralize the RMON counter
  • Working assumption: All RMON counters should be part of the EthernetContainer_PAC (Status and PerformanceMonitoring)
  • Next Step: 
    • update related ETH and MAC issues in OpenBackhaul for final proposal
    • AI Martin Skorupski consolidate proposed solutions 

@Eduardo YustaLicense Management

Questions:

  • Are License be updated during life time of the device?
    • Answer: yes - there are such cases, particularity for feature enhancements or for later enabling a license - xPIC may come later, when the second link is deployed.
  • Understanding association between License Firmware, LTP, Hardware, Features/Function?
  • Do all devices require a license? 
  • Is a "feature-key" a "License" - from functional point: yes
  • What kind of License types needs to be supported - Software, Hardware, Interface, LTP, Capacity, Features, Function, ....
    • Frist idea: focus on interface-capabilities


Frist proposal:

  • ControlConstruct
    • LicenseList
      • License
        • Name
        • Type
        • Description
        • key (value; hash to be checked against, ...)
        • additional-configuration - (e.g. max capacity is xyz MBit/s)
        • State: activated; expired, no-active, ....
        • pointing to "something"


00:00Layering discussion (FCs, FDs etc.)Thorsten Heinze
  • Will publish in wiki the latest slide which is the result of discussions:

  • link to the contribution: 2020-09-16 5G-xHaul Meeting notes

  • Continue discussion from last week
  • Question:
    • 1x VLAN FD and 2x VLAN FC
      • Impact on MAC interfaces
  • 1:1 betweeen VLAN-IF-LTP and EthernetContainer-LTP
  • 1x physical → only one MAC-Interface?
  • MacSwitch attributes: mac-address-learning, aging-time - are such attributes sufficient to instantiate a new FD/FC objects.
  • MacFC could give a better overview - further clarifications


Agenda: 2020-09-30

Discussion and agreement about the following proposal:

Discussion

The following aspects are proposed to be decided by the 5G-xhaul subproject.

-          The ForwardingDomain shall be interpreted as a Potential for Forwarding (e.g. SDH Matrix).

[sko] Potential: something which allows the creation of “forwarding” based in the FD:LTP


-          The ForwardingConstruct shall be interpreted as an Actual Forwarding (e.g. Connection between two VC-12 endpoints at the SDH Matrix).

[sko] Actual: configured Forwarding – check operational states and traffic flow


-          There might be 0 .. * ForwardingConstructs inside a ForwardingDomain.

[sko] ok


Discussion on dependencies between LTPs, FD, FC and between the layers will continue...


Agenda: 2020-10-07

  • Last week we started discussing a HUB presentation using FD and FCs: but there are several ways to represent a HUB: Depending on the chosen representation there are different consequences. ... (see attachment: link)
