OSC Project roundup:

NONRTRIC (John Keeney)

• AS per Last Week:
  • Several team members on vacation
  • Continue Release E planning
    • Looking at how to deploy & LCM Apps in OSC E
      
      • Based on work in ONAP: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/TOSCA+Defined+Control+Loops%3A+Architecture+and+Design
        • While this is based on older work on ONAP Control Loops/Clamp - it is basically a full re-architect & build.
      • Still at a very early stage, not yet ready to present / demo ... Hope to demo/present at upcoming RSAC meetings a few weeks.
      • Current prototyping going very well - using the OSC D "Link Monitor" Apps as requirements drivers & "pipe cleaner".
• OSC D Maintenance Release
  • Small bug fixes.
  • Initially planned for next week.

VES - discussion from last week:

• Recording: @06:30
• Krystian Kedron, Mark Scott, Martin Skorupski
• Last Week:
  • Slides & Discussion: 2021-07-28 Meeting notes - Joint OAM / NONRTRIC / SIM SCRUM meeting#20210728MeetingnotesJointOAM/NONRTRIC/SIMSCRUMmeeting-PMCollection/VESPMMapper
  • https://lists.onap.org/g/onap-discuss/message/23433
  • DCAEGEN2-2874 PM Mapper output - sMeasTypesList
    • List is ordered, so not a bug.
  • DCAEGEN2-2873 PM Mapper output - granularityPeriod issue
    
    • Granularity is 2 fields in 3GPP version. Mapping to one field is as per agreed approach, but update would likely be useful.
    • (HV-VES handles this differently)
• Discussed at ONAP DCAE Meeting
  • https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/2021-08-04+DCAE+Meeting+Notes
  • Tickets will be updated after discussion in DCAE
• Suggestion to change VES 7.1 Schema
• Needs to be also discussed with VES team
• 3GPP spec should be considered at this stage - bring up to date with v16/v17
• VES 7.2 spec also needs to be considered for inclusion / update
  • Other functions use VES 7.1 ... Need a decision to upgrade other components for VES 7.2
• ... New requirement / feature to be considered in ONAP.
• New version of VES spec may be needed if VES 7.2 is updated. Backwards compatibility? OSC projects do not require backward compatibility.
• Discussions & updates will continue in ONAP DCAE
• HV-VES / PM Streaming
  • vs 3GPP streaming
  • ORAN 01 uses ASN.1 over websockets - aligns with 3GPP v16/v17 (ASN1 or GPB over websocket)
  • HV-VES is not part of O1 spec.
    • GRPC / GPB, and not websockets
    • Need to support HV VES in future is unclear & not compliant with current specs
  • (PMMapper and HV-VES are not related)

OSC Release E usecases:

• Proposals are still very early stage: more detailed discussion required - attend RSAC meetings for more details:
  • RSAC Meetings

• Usecase: Disaggregating VES: "Network Telemetry Improvement Proposal"
