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

Welcome all. new attendees. If you have any questions about participating in this community, please contact Louis Illuzzi (lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org).

5G Super Blueprint Overview and Getting Started



Project Updates

  • SEDIMENT+KubeArmor

    • Initial PoC:

    • Kaloom lab- VMs built

      • Need VPN to Kaloom. LJ to Contact Ganesh (gave@kaloom.com)

    • Potential Hex Five sub project - Cesare/Rajesh

      • Investigative meeting took place between Peraton and Hex Five (Cesare).

      • Next Step- Hex Five to come back with a proposal

    • Next Steps:

      • Identify prover device and camera. in progress (07/26)

      • Kaloom/UNH implementation

      • Identify and develop a security Use Case - Yogen?

        Yogen - in process (08/09)
        @Yogendra Pal - setup meeting with Accuknox to discuss security use case.  Report back to this meeting on Aug 23



  • SABRES: Slice Selection, Path Validation, Multiparty Management

    • Three use cases will have separate services associated

    • What orchestrator will/can be used?

      • potential to duplicate Simplified E2E Network Slicing (Aarna) using EMCO

        • Simplified network slicing solution is not yet open source.  USC may need to sign NDA.  Lincoln will investigate. (08/09)

      • potential to leverage Wavelabs slicing using EMCO

    • ICCCN paper: ICCCN_2023_paper_187.pdf

    • Code repository (https://pulwar.isi.edu/sabres/cbs/cbs) that was used during the last government demonstration.  This is the initial code base (src directory), which will not be the final product (as this version only works on 2-3 variables, rather than arbitrary).  This code was used to replace ETSI's OSM's PLA module (using minizinc constraint solver) with CBS [https://osm.etsi.org/gitlab/osm/pla].

    • Next Steps:

      • Replicate Simplified Slicing demo locally in ISI lab (Lincoln)

      • Debug the environment (Lincoln)

      • Set up a drop-in replacement for the current slicing algorithm with CBS algorithm (Lincoln)

      • Leverage UNH and Kaloom. Ganesh and Lincoln



  • Simplified E2E Network Slicing (Aarna)

    • Question to community to bring in OAI stack

    • Next Steps:

      • Slice selection within Edge Site Selection and Placement use case

      • Potential to demo OAI stack to the community - Yogen

      • Yogen had asked about gNodeB at UNH. Lincoln advises it is available 2nd half June

        @Yogendra Pal to follow up with Lincoln Lavoie on this point

      • Yogen - need to open source simplified slicing  solution to EMCO project (08/09)



  • Edge Site Selection and Placement (Equinix) - On Hold

    • From June D&TF - Call to action: What is current state of edge site selection and where does it need to evolve (future state)?

    • Tie-in with simplified slicing (Aarna)

    • Edge definition talk from the LF? Twitter? LF Edge Taxonomy. https://hubs.la/Q01RnPZh0

    • Next Steps

      • Proposal to pause, and focus on E2E slicing

      • Slice selection within edge placement - Yogen
