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.

5G Super Blueprint Overview and Getting Started


Events

  • Upcoming Events:


Project Updates:

5G SBP Use Case - MultiCloud HybridCloud NaaS (Network as a Service)

  • No updates since 02/16
  • A meeting between IBM, Aarna Networks, and LFN took place on 02/16. to discuss high-level overview and scope.
  • IBM introduced the concept of application-centric connectivity  <---YouTube link
  • Potential to integrate connectivity APIs to CSP 4G and 5G cores - AT&T, as an example
  • Next Steps:
    • IBM to present an overview and deep dive of IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh.


SEDIMENT- Environmental Sensor Use Case

Established Baselines:

    • Environmental Sensor Use Case will be a separate entry into the Library as opposed to adding to the existing SEDIMENT entry
    • DARPA approval is required. Both Environmental Sensor Use Case for Library submission, as well as ONE Summit presentation, and updated demo will be sent for approval at the same time.
      • April 25 deadline for ONE Summit material submission.
      • DARPA needs 15 business days (3 weeks) for approval process.
      • DARPA approval items should be summitted by mid-March
    • Repo: github.com/sediment-lfproject/remote-attestation


SEDIMENT+KubeArmor

  • New Use Case/Collaboration Proposals:
    • Project L3AF uses eBPF for LSM (Linux Security Modules). There may be a potential for alignment around security; zero-trust capabilities-.
    • L3AF community member Santhosh meet briefly with Rahul Jadhav/Accuknox at eBPF Day India on 03/16. Santhosh interested in working with KuberArmor
    • Are there Industry vertical support templates for KubeArmor? @ron victor to followup 
        • Next Steps:
          • Ron to take it up with KubeArmor technical team. LJ Illuzzi send L3AF info to Ron.
          • Ron to follow up on Industry vertical support templates @ron victor
    • Can SEDIMENT be ported to Linux to expand it capabilities to say, self-attestation.
      • Zahir shared that SEDIMENT can be used on Linux and uses the notion of user-defined functions so that for Linux devices, with much larger storage spaces then IoT devices, specific files can be specified to be attested to insure they have not been tampered with.
      • Drilling deeper it is proposed that SEDIMENT might be used to attest a Linux host before deployment. For example, when a CSP deploys Kubernetes infrastructure on Linux based platforms there is a capability where SEDIMENT can attest the host before deployment. A base-level Use Case can show the concept of using Linux to deploy different security-level SLAs
      • Expand to confidencial computing?
        • Next Steps:
          • Zahir flushing out the idea internally at Peraton Labs


Intent Driven Orchestration for an Autonomous 5G Network - Keguang He (China Mobile)/Praveen Kumar Kalapatapu (Infosys)

  • Current Status as of 03/19:
    • Nehio API specifications are available: Nephio API
    • CMCC update- Building an ONAP knowledge Q&A system based on China Mobile's Jiutian large model, which is undergoing further optimization.
  • Next Steps/Goals:
    • CMCC to provide ONAP API specifications
    • Resolve Nephio installtion issues
    • Present relevant large model demo using ONAP at ONE Summit in April
    • Add Nephio integration
  • A bi-weekly call on Mondays has been established. Next meeting is 03/26, 9:30am EST
    • How do we advertise this initiative to outside world; DT, AT&T?


Upcoming Meetings

  • Bi-weekly status meeting
  • Off-week Working Group and Deep Dive Meeting
    • Potential Topics for deep dive:
  • LJ on PTO. Meeting to be canceled


Any Other Business

----- Back Burner Projects ---------

Orchestration of OAI Core and Amarisoft gNB with EMCO - Yogen/Vikas (Aarna Networks)

Next Steps:

  • Add to the 5G SBP Library.
    • Whats needed:
      • code- Put it in an Aarna repo
      • Additional documentation pending
  • Marketing:
    • Need ETA from Yogen
    • Align with LFN marketing for blog (LJ)
  • ONAP SMO?

ONAP SMO

        • Scope-
          • use ONAP SMO to exercise gNodeB. Showcase RAN connectivity (O1 interface)
          • Showcase orchestration
          • Connect gNodeB
            • Mitigation- UNH can host core but has no resources to implement; Yogen can implement
          • Potential reference point/tie-in with ORAN-SC
        • Requirements/Goals
          • Demonstate connectivity and orchestration
          • exercise Amarisoft gNodeB (UNH)
          • Stretch goal- tie-in with ORAN-SC
          • Stretch goal - Showcase RAN connectivity (O1 interface). OAI not ready with O1 interface
        •  Resources-
          • Aarna Networks
          • UNH - gNodeB. Note; gNodeB is T&M gear and will need to be shared among projects.
        • Next Steps-
          • Bring up OAI core and orchestrator with Amarisoft gNodeB - UNH lab
            • Create Ansible template / tasks that would deal with the gNodeB - Lincoln/Yogen
            • Bring up OAI core at UNH using the orchestrator. No update, been using SD-Core in the meantime
          • LaaS booking, extend the booking to last longer than 21 days - ping Lincoln by email.


Simplified E2E Network Slicing -Yogen (Aarna)


SABRES: Slice Selection, Path Validation, Multiparty Management - Lincoln Thurlow. (USC/ICI)

    • Agreement with the Linux Foundation has ended
    • All code commited to LF repos will remain intact and continue to be updated through at least Sept2024
    • Open source license is BSD3
    • A demo on Constraint-based search is created; needs legal approval to make available
    • Lumen technologies will act as distributor
    • What existing capabiliites can be included/added to the 5G Super Blueprint Library? Constraint-based search, demo
    • Next Steps:
      • Improve algorithms for constraint based search
      • Path validation with a different proof algorithm to improve the performance
      • Inclusion into 5G SBP Library
        • Scope: Constraint-based search, Can be done where RAN and other resources are deployed on a 5G network. If there are any contraints, for example disk space or CPU latency, and have a placement problem, thats where SABREs shines. The demo shows constraint-based search
      • Legal approval is needed to release the demo


--------- Reference material below --------

5G Super Blueprint Library -

  • Page opened for viewing- send comments to lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org
  • Proposal to add a column for higher level network function associated with each entry, example; slicing, security, UPF integration, IoT (visual inspection), etc.
  • Marketing Plan
      • The goal is that each completed project get the same marketing treatment (i.e. Marketing Plan execution) where the technology is highligthed and the participants and contributing companies are recognized.
