Feedback from the NFG session (21 April) at the CNTT/OPNFV virtual conference
Current status of PR #1325 [RM-Networking] Networking Scope, Principles and H/L Model https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/pull/1325
Agreement to merge the contents of PR #1325 into RM Master as a base of further work
Agreement on next steps: creation of new Issues and PRs to provide new/updated contents in RM and RAs
Action item from RA1 for NFG: How to handle custom APIs? Get upstream (OSTK)/another project to define common (useful) SDN API extensions. What should be the CNTT position? Wait for CNTT Network FG to define position.
Some thoughts about addressing ths (proposed by Sukhdev):
SDN Controllers have plugins in Neutron - All common Neutron APIs are directly supported by the controllers - Additional APIs are needed for advanced networking features, so, either we:
1) Upstream these additional APIs into Neutron (very hard and non-scalable)
2) Come with an extension model in Neutron so that additional APIs are invoked through this extension
3) Most automated production deployments use Heat templates to manage Neutron and SDN controllers - we specify a common model to define the Heat template/resources - may be the easiest way to address this
