Purpose of this paper:

  • ONAP is an Open Source network automation platform
  • Over last 2+ years, LFN Community has built the platform with inputs from many communication service providers & vendors
  • ONAP maturity has been focused on below areas -
    • Technical Robustness of the Platform & Use of Modern Software Development Practices
    • Functional Maturity of the Platform, Primarily Encompassing Network Automation Scenario / Journeys Supported for As Many Domains As Possible
    • Operational Readiness of the Platform, Aligning with Future of Networks & How to Operate Them in Mind
  • One of the bottlenecks towards consuming ONAP has been a lack of guidance around suggested consumption model, SI led, in-sourced, product-ised (distribution led) or any other
  • Creation of a world class platform is an art which LFN has been perfecting, it is consumption of that platform in CSPs and considerations towards that, which this white paper is trying to focus on
