Unconf Topic Proposals, Sept '19

Unconf Topic Proposals, Sept '19

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • 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:   Discuss C-RAN/O-RAN requirement on cloud platform

  • Detailed Description:  O-RAN is the evaluation C-RAN network. It seeks to drive the decoupling of RAN software from the underlying hardware platform, which producing reference designs to allow commodity hardware platforms to be leveraged for all parts of a RAN deployment, including Centralized Unit, Distributed Unit, potential Mobile Edge Computing
    applications and Radio Intelligent Controller. This session will discuss :
    1.  RAN virtualization research on accelerators
    2.  pico-stations virtualization with white box design RRU
    3.  potential AI on RAN scenario and
    4.  MEC on edge with RAN

  • Short Description:  A Look at OPX Architecture and Latest Release

  • Detailed DescriptionOpen 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:  SNAS: real-time network routing monitoring and analytics

  • Detailed Description: The Streaming Network Analytics System (SNAS) is a framework to collect, track and analyze tens of millions of routing objects (routers, peers, prefixes) in real time. The SNAS framework has been
    re-architected over the last year in order to make it more modular and flexible. This session aims to introduce the new SNAS architecture and receive feedback as well as showcase some practical use cases, including a prototype deployment by RouteViews of the OpenBMP SNAS module.

  • 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:  Host maintenance with Fenix

  • Detailed Description: Fenix is an OpenStack project for managing host maintenance without service interruption. In the session we plan to show why Fenix is needed, what problems it solves, how it works and how is it aligned to ETSI NFV IFA FEAT03 work. https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/ONS-Ant2019-Fenix
