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.

Availability of the Unconference sessions will be limited.  While some topics may be hand selected (like a TAC meeting, if proposed for example), most will be scheduled at the event on first-come, first-serve basis  If you have a topic you'd like to discuss at ONS and don't already see it below, please consider adding it.  If you do see a topic below that you would like to participate in, then please add your name to the list of potential attendees.  We will use those lists to determine which topics get scheduled prior to the event. 

This wiki should be freely available to edit.  Please feel free to add your session.  However, please do not delete or move someone else's session without their permission.

Schedule

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:   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)
    4.  others...

  • 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

  • Short Description: ONAP as a unified MEC-in-NFV Orchestrator

  • Detailed Description: In the latest ETSI MEC architecture specification, there is a generic reference architecture and a MEC-in-NFV variant. We would like to discuss the MEC-in-NFV variant and the possibility of ONAP serving as the combined orchestrator (NFVO MEAO). Also, given the rich functionality of various ONAP controllers, we would like to discuss how ONAP could possibly interface with both external MEPM-V components or alternatively subsume this functionality within ONAP. This is quite similar to how ONAP deals with VNFMs — they can be external or internal. There is no pre-planned agenda, and we would like to have an open discussion on this topic.

  • Short Description: ONAP and Cisco NSO Integration

  • Detailed Description: IP/MPLS backbones have many automation scenarios based on configuration changes. This presentation shows (1) how an external configuration management tool can easily be integrated to ONAP thanks to standard interfaces and (2) how ONAP, thanks to powerful modelling tools and a distribution of orchestration functions into several components, can help to add business and operations oriented facets to a complex multi-sided automation process. A particular focus will be made on the repartition of the automation between Cisco NSO tool, SDN-C DigiGraph and Service Orchestration in order to ease the life of operational entities, re-use elementary network automation scenario in order to compose complex automation scenario. A demonstration will complete this presentation.

  • Short Description: ONAP SDC enhancements to support OVP

  • Detailed Description: A set of enhancements to the SCP project are being proposed, that will allow uses onboarding a VNF to directly access the testing required as part of the OVP programs. This would provide a "point / click" experience for users testing VNF product(s). Further additions are also proposed to enable the SDC portal to directly query information about previously tested products listed on the LFN OVP portals (https://vnf-verified.lfnetworking.org/#/).  Initial material has been discussed within the CVC and this discussion is intended to continue those conversations as well as formulate a work plan for the Frankfurt release of ONAP.

  • Short Description:  An introduction of open source network project Mizar and further discussion

  • Detailed Description: In this session, we would like to introduce our new open source network project Mizar, an eBPF and Geneve protocol based cloud network data plane that can scale to manage the communication and routing of hundreds of thousands of dynamic network end points among VPCs and subnets. The goal of this project is to address the following current cloud related challenges:
      - Unify the network data-plane for containers, serverless functions, virtual machines, etc.
      - Support provisioning and management of large number of endpoints
      - Accelerate network resource provisioning for dynamic cloud environment
      - Achieve high network throughput and low latency
      -Create an extensible cloud-network of pluggable network functions
    This session starts with a brief introduction and follows with an open discussion for suggestions of our project.
