Monday

18th

1.1
  • C9 Job model (CH #57)
  • ONF_T57_JobTask.pptx
  • How AWS IoT Works. AWS (Amazon Web Services).
  • Mistral is an open source scheduler.
    • Two options: (1) Direct workflow (procedural) and (2) Reverse workflow (intent based)
  • Netflix Conductor UML equivalent (Cloud Orchestrator)
  • Relationship between Workflow and Task. Task is opaque (node), Workflow is transparent (topology); recursive
  • Model of control, the infrastructure
  • TR-512.8 model already has a task entity
  • Streaming is relevant to cloud and related the Job model
  • Next steps:
    • Chris Hartley Action: Determine how Job / Task is related to the cloud computing infrastructure, make sure our ONF model is relevant to that.
    • Chris Hartley Action: Develop the Job / Task model in this context
    • Nigel Davis Action: To evolve TR512.8 model in conjunction with the model developed by Chris
  • C7 Identity model (CH #41)
  • ONF_T41_IdentityImplementation.pptx
  • Task 41 Scope - Identity implementation (Lead=ND)
  • To improve the way that identity and other common attributes are represented in the model
  • Exclude TAPI at this stage
  • Suggest to get rid of the subclasses, still keep the name attribute,
  • uuid: identify thing in the free space, e.g., LTP, detector
  • Suggestion: on slide 6
  • Agreed to identify "local class" (e.g., port) by using uuid
1.2
  • T8 Link capacity (MB)
  • oimt2019.MB.001_representation-of-capacity.docx (MB)

    • Malcolm Betts Action: Propose update to TR-512.4 v1.4 to describe complex state.
  • MapperPattern.pptx
    • Name Mapper
    • As example, take a link resource model and show with applying the Mapper function. The mapper function needs to understand the relationship among the resources and relate the resources.
    • 2 step of mapping (Use case of using the mapping function)
      • Gain insight about the link (Lx) from the info at the ends (ports) and use this to construct the link
      • Gain insight about relationship between links (L1 & L2) and combine them (L1+L2), for some purposes in some context
1.3
  • T1 Connectivity & Topology (KS, AM)
1.4
  • T3 Topology Pac (ND)
  • Nigel Davis Action: Work on the existing risk/pac to make example relevant to TAPI and develop document for TAPI
  • Nigel Davis Action: Develop Cost example for TAPI using a path computation use case and then develop document for TAPI
  • Nigel Davis Action: Develop Latency example for TAPI using a path computation use case and then develop document for TAPI
  • Nigel Davis Action: Explore possible generalization of Latency
  • Many of these parameters must be provided by the planning systems etc. from the operator
  • Transfer Timing and Transfer Integrity have technology varieties,
    • ES, SES, UAS,
    • Frame Loss Ratio (FLR),
    • Frame Delay (FD), FD Variation (FDV),
  • T6 TAPI VN (KS, ND)
  • Nigel Davis Action: New work item to investigate expressing constraint for range or target
  • Nigel Davis Action: Develop the lifecycle of intent request from highly abstract to specific through negotiation for both access and connectivity services in the context of the Core and the TAPI models.

Catalog driven TAPI (KS)

  • TAPI interface / operations → YANG RPC tree
  • Require augmenting both Data tree and RCP tree (augment the parameters of the rpc operation)
  • Short term resolution: not to use RPC in general, only use RPC as needed
  • MEF ONAP API: API Metadata (base type, type, ref type), Legato define header class
  • TAPi to augment the base type,
  • UML to JSON schema
  • RFC 8040 JSON meta data encoding example

  • Nigel Davis Action : Link up the operation model with the ONAP API, Ex TAPI
  • Nigel Davis Action : In documentation, describe the relationship between the operation pattern model with the Control model
  • Karthik Sethuraman Action : For TAPI 3.0, remove interface operations related to CRUDS pattern, update UML-YANG tool to generate appropriate YANG Actions for the CRUDS pattern. (Note: "S" means "Search")
3.3
  • C2 LTP Port (ND #53)
  • LTP & LtpPort
  • Agreement:
    • Rename Ltp to LtpPort, create new Ltp class, with appropriate associations

  • For TR-512 v2.0 Separate model into: CoreNetwork model, Equipment model, Software model, Control model, ...
    • Update documents to remove "Core" from CoreNetworkModel
  • In a model, group the artifacts into packages and in parallel develop the rule for grouping/packaging (to be included in the modeling Guidelines)
    • For example, for the CoreNetworkModel: Forwarding packages (which include FD, FC, FcProt, Casc, ....), Ltp package, ...

      • Not preferred.
    • CEPs ending protection schemes. For further study
  • Connectivity framework agreements
    • Recursive reference to be reconsidered as TopologyConnection
    • TopologyConstraint: replace "include" and "exclude" with a weighted list (0 is neutral, positive weight means preferred, negative weight means not preferred)

Continue Tuesday photonic discussion to resolve Disagreement regarding need MCA Connection or not

  • ND/MB/SSL: need MCA Connection;
  • KS/AM: don't need MCA Connection

MCG, OTSiMCG, OTSiA, OTSiMCA

  • All local participants at the meeting agreed:
    • The MCA can be represented by the Connectivity Service, no need for explicit connection to represent a MCA
      • The MCA relationship between MCs can be carried by simple index
    • This can be generalized for all forwarding technologies, i.e., there is no need for an additional FC to mirror a connectivity service!
    • Reviewed and eventually agreed the following slides:
4.4
  • C13 Profile & Template (ND #57)
  • Chris Hartley Nigel Davis Action: Develop model fragment to support Telefonica Germany requirements in the context of the broader requirements for profile and template
