LF Anti-trust

  • We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.



Welcome 1st Time Attendees

ONE Summit Demo/Keynote/Booth Recap (Brandon / Heather)

LFN Developer and Testing Forum, January 10-13, 2022 (virtual event)

Architecture - (Amar/Heather)

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

  • Use Case: Private LTE Network security. Need Magma and ONAP SMEs

    • Kader/Wavelabs can help with secure aspects with slicing and private mobile network. Setup separate call. Include Neil Huff. Need R&D from Magma.

  • 2 flows: EMCO under ONAP and EMCO standalone (SA)

  • Anuket as cloud infrastructure

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

    • Show Magma/ABot testing on 11/30

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

  • Physical radio integration: Is the RAN ready for testing on GenXcom? Cap Gemini/Intel to confirm (Sam/Utkash).

  • Consider other RAN options

Workplan - (Louis/Amar)

  • ONAP/Magma

    • Yogendra (Aarna) working with Lukasz (Orange)

    • Next step- Magma Instantiation; note- issue with hardcoded namespace

      • Honolulu up and running. Helm chart issues discovered, suggesting remediation (Yogendra from Aarna to address). 

  • Slicing-

    •  Kaloom was able to fix the firewall issues and now we have the high and low video use case working through the 2 different slices

      • Next Step: gather requirements for slicing. Working with the Magma team.

  • Rebaca/Magma:

  • Document as you build

  • Placeholder - 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)

  • Magma - network slicing and slicing security

  • ONAP + Magma (orchestrate Magma CNFs using ONAP)

    • Nov 30, 2021 see Workplan above

    • Nov 2, 2021 

      • Aarna moving to ONAP Honolulu for this work.

      • ONAP Istanbul is due out on Nov 4. This release brings improvements for deployment and day2 of more complex CNFs. What is the LOE to move from Honolulu to Istanbul? Or wait for Istanbul?

    • Sep 21, 2021  - Pending Seshu meeting.

    • ONAP+Magma integration- issue at TOSCA packaging level. ONAP community to assist in debugging TOSCA issues, starting 08/25. Helms charts working

    • Meeting Details Here: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/TSC+Task+Force%3A+ONAP+for+Enterprise+Business

    • Align with ONAP + Magma Milestones / Timeline

    • Onboard Magma Controller (gateway) with ONAP (currently as VNF)

      https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=c_gbiu1t7a67ika1th2smldeh19s@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago 

    • Networking Slicing Meeting last week including security efforts, breaking out into a separate meeting series. Working toward service assurance kickoff based on Magma capability. Meeting Details Here: TBD

  • LF Edge (Amar, Ike, Joe)

    • 09/07 Heather- Use case discussion with TSC upcoming in September. Ike can also provide insights.

    • Goal: Private network slide to integrate with IoT use cases (eventually). Which projects involved, which integrations needed with other projects, etc. Volunteers welcome to contribute, join discussion on the TSC. 

    • 9/7: Modeling 5G Super Blueprints roughly on Akraino blueprints template (5G integration work ongoing). Ike to provide links. 

    • Any other LF Edge integration at this time?

      • 9/7: EdgeX (tomorrow a presentation with customer example), Open Horizon?

      • Fledge, EVE (Energy use case)

    • IoT/EdgeX possibilities. Ike: Suggest contacting Jim White, EdgeX TSC Chair. Brandon to follow up. Akraino has more than 20 blueprints across many areas including 5G integration. (insights on 5G Core). Brandon to follow up Energy/EVE/Fledge Communities.

    • Prabhjot: PCI blueprint could be a value add in terms of service assurance (includes ONAP/EMCO), MANO, cloud provider integration. Good documentation coming soon. Oleg/Tina, TSC Chair (Akraino). 

  • Anuket (Amar, Heather)

    • 12/14: updates from Kuberef team. Need status on Plugins Virtlet to support Anuket workloads. Check with Amar. Bob M. may also have input.

    • 9/21: We have just deployed ONAP on Anuket at UNH! Congrats to the team. Docs to follow. 

    • Anuket (Heather)- deployment- 2 servers at UHN. ONAP on 1, orchestrate MAGMA on other. 

    • Kali Release RI2 on UNH Servers, deploying the Magma Core

    • 2 instances of Kuberef (1 per server) being installed. We will use one to host ONAP and one to deploy Magma Core onto. Confirming support for Kubevirt/Virtlet, we need this since one of the Magma functions is still a VM.

    • Status: Servers are up and we have asked the Kuberef team to install pending instructions from Sriram on how to access the servers.

  • L3AF: members of the L3AF community attended the 11/16 5G SBP call

    • Security (eBPFs enhancements in data path)

    • Idea: Walmart testing of 5G Super Blueprint

    • Talk to Anuket around eBPF reference

  • ORAN Alliance / ORAN SC (Trishan)

    • What is the time frame where ORAN might participate in 5G SBP?

  • Other? Feel free to add here.
