Overview
The Open Networking Summit - EU 2019 event offers two "un-conference" areas for topic discussions, small-team breakouts etc. We call this an "Unconference" because it's less about pre-conceived and pre-arranged formal presentations and instead allows for discussion topics of interest to "spring up" either closer to the event or at the event itself.
...
The current Un-conference Schedule can be found here: https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/x/UgMiAQ
Rooms are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis
If you wish to add a topic to the schedule, please post it below.
Unconference Rooms are located at Flanders Convention Center: Gorilla 4 Gorilla 5
List of Proposed Topics
Short Description: CNTT reference implementation and verification in OPNFV
- Detailed Description:
- We will use this session to drive the detailed discussion of CNTT activities in OPNFV. Major topics can include as follows (you are also welcome to add more topics)
- CNTT progress updates, especially focusing on OPNFV related activities
- High level discussion on OPNFV planning to engage in CNTT effort and reveal CNTT requirements
- OPNFV feature projects planning for support of CNTT reference models and architecture
- OPNFV installer projects gap analysis (whether the current projects will support the reference architecture in a good way?)
- OPNFV testing project gap analysis (whether the current test cases and framework will support the verification requirement from CNTT?)
- Next step
- We will use this session to drive the detailed discussion of CNTT activities in OPNFV. Major topics can include as follows (you are also welcome to add more topics)

Short Description: Test frameworks and tools for CNTT
- Detailed Description: This is continuation of discussion started in CNTT F2F meeting in Paris on OPNFV test framework strategy for CNTT reference implementations and compliance program.
- See related thread and this point made by Georg Kunz... we need a structured way of integrating, maintaining and running specific test cases across test tools. It must be simple to call specific test cases across all OPNFV test tools. This means that ideally the OPNFV test tools agree on a common way to do this. Potential ways:
- All tools integrate in Xtesting
- All tools agree on a common API callable from some other tool
- Something else?

Short Description: Discuss automation requirements for MEC during the whole life cycle of MEC application.
- Detailed Description: In this session ,i will introduce the whole MEC system with 5G Core. Typically there will be a lot of facilities around MEC system. For instance, local DNS system, hardware or software firewall(if traffic from internet into MEC system , FW is needed). When application is on boarding in MEC system, openstack or kubernetes will allocate virtual machine and container for applicaiton automatically. But the application can't supply the service right now.
Automation requirements for MEC to speed up the service provision procedure:
1. Set UPF rule automatically(traffic steering)
2. Set FW rule automatically(traffic rule)
3. Set DNS record automatically (DNS resolving)

Short Description: CNI Round Table
- Detailed Description:
- Round Table discussion about CNI (mainly for networking plumbing).
- Mainly focus on telco/NFV-ish area, but other areas also welcome.
- For example:
- Sharing experiments with CNI (e.g. multus or CNI reference plugins) and discuss missing requirements
- What are the needs of Cloud Native VNF-s from networking?
- Which CNI-s are fulfilling these requirements?
- What is different and what is similar about the different CNI-s for telco workloads?
- Topic Leader: Tomofumi Hayashi (Deactivated) , Levente Kale, Gergely Csatari
- Estimated Audience Size: 1-15

Short Description: A Look at OPX Architecture and Latest Release
- Detailed Description: Open Switch is a project dedicated to making a solid Open Source option for a complete Network platform supporting the community and providing networking innovations. There is a focus on making a completely open source NOS providing a solid (Linux Based Package approach) allowing the installation of Open Switch on a Debian based platforms. In this demo/workshop we will go through the architecture and highlight multiple applications build with OPX, look at the latest release of OPX, and provide an opportunity to interact with OPX via VM. Come learn how you can integrate your white-box NOS solution with your upstream applications with ONAP, ODL etc..

Short Description: CNTT and CNCF TUG Common API Framework
- Detailed Description: In this session, I would like to invite people from the CNTT group and CNCF TUG group to come together to work on a Common API Framework so that we can have a common North and southbound APIs for both VNF/CNF vendors/users and NFVI vendors/users. The intent of this session will be have an open discussion to drive a consensus so that we can align on the API framework that would work for both VNFs as well CNFs (cloud native) so that we can implement the reference architecture as specified by CNTT group. This should allow the transition of VNFs to CNFs smooth. Additionally, this will help build validation framework that works for all types of workloads.

Short Description: Improving ONAP interoperability & Adoption with API Fabric
- Detailed Description: This sessions will present a solution to simplify the consumption of APIs in ONAP and to expose operational APIs while improving interoperability with 3rd party systems. We will present how the API Fabric provides a simplified abstraction layer, exposing standard APIs, which improves the usability for end users and speeds up the productization of ONAP.
The API fabric provides capabilities for onboarding new APIs, with plugins to convert to standard APIs, and provides complete API lifecycle management including subscription and transaction control & monitoring. The exposed manageable façade layer simplifies ONAP’s consumable interface for operations, application development or business level monitoring, avoiding deep integration with individual ONAP components.

Short Description: A step towards validating ONAP Control Loops
- Detailed Description: This is continuation of discussion started in DDF meeting in Sweden on ONAP Control loop validation.
- As ONAP is currently implementing and improving the control loop framework (model driven control loops), we would like to propose a consistent validation of control loops by reusing existing mechanism, we would like to discuss the following topics :
- try and validate control loops flow
in an automated fashion, with the intention to serve multiple goals :
- decouple control loop flows from instantiation flows in order to speed up validation.
- lower the learning curve for people to understand control loops
- identify quickly breaking changes that would hurt the control loop as a whole
- create a framework to allow for proving control loop behavior - This session is an open discussion session
