Architecture - (Amar/Heather)

  • ONAP Honolulu vs Istanbul. Current testing with Honolulu. Continue with Honolulu, then move to Istanbul

  • Rebaca interop testing / synch with Wavelabs (Kader/Samir)

    • Show Magma/ABot testing on 11/30

    • End to end slicing- pickup where it wwas left off on 5G demo. Issue with Kaloom lab firewall may be key issue. Jamie, Constanten, Jason, Samir. Samir to update on Nov 30.

  • Consider other RAN vendors

  • End to end slicing- Issue with Kaloom lab firewall (TCP packets not going through). updates? (Rebaca/Kaloom/A10)

  • Rebaca/Magma:

  • Document as you build

  • Do we need separate call for 5GSPB phase Next for execution?  (similar to weekly 5G Cloud Native Network demo). Alternate Tuesdays?

Adjacent Communities 5G Super Blueprint Integration (All)
