NOTE: This is the weekly technical deep dive call to prep the latest version of the 5G Cloud Native Network Demo for ONE Summit 2021, Oct 11-12. If you would like the meeting invite, please email bwick@linuxfoundation.org and lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org.

Getting  A10 FW set up. Rajenda: Connecting to UPF and Data Network. Rajat. How to work in the simulator? Need to connect to the internet? Kubecon demo was crossing the cluster. Amar: This same demo we will also use for E2E. Samit: Sending traffic toward A10, Rebaca simulator, vidoe server on internet side fo Firewall. Jamie: Deploying system on Cluster 1/Custer 2. Same GNB address or different? 2 Slices of the same UE? Soumya: UE to slice 1 (high-quality), slide 2 (low-quality). Can be the same GNB. Idea: Same UE, 1 with high-quality, 1 with low-quality. 2 videos at the same time using parallel call flow. Samit checking if video client ca render data from video server at same time. Video server location? Sveto: Do we have enough spare capacity on cluster to run it. Yogendra: Data in cluster 2 (one server)? Raja: We need 3 VMs. What resources can you provide? Sveto/Hanen to check on capacity and if it can be expended (perhaps 1 free UE). How much is required? Boris: We may have resources? Is there a networking diagram? Yogendra showed the latest diagram. Boris+Sveto to connect offline with Hanen. Note: Labs are connect with Turnium SD-WAN. Next steps: Spread into 3 parts. Adding video server. Another option could be LaaS. Latency challenges? What levels of throughput are required for the simulator/video traffic? 400 Mbps. Yogenda: setting up the parameters with Rajat/Jamie. Rebaca VMs require 8 cores and 16GB RAM per VM. Might not be able to run on the clusters. 3 VMs needed (vCPUS). 100G disk size should be good. We likely have enough. Hanen/Sveto to confirm. Networking: Need to connect with core and UPF, A10 FW, and routing. Video client VM. Abot should have 2 interfaces. Is there a diagram for the VMs? Can we share the diagram more widely? Rebaca to share latest for minutes and slack channel. 

Yogendra: Slicing updates:# Two slices configuration is now completed in MTL cluster01 for NGC under namespace ns-ngc. Ready for integration with Kaloom's UPF.
# A10 deployment done in MTL cluster01 under namespace ngfw, pod started to comeup, some more changes required for network-attachment.
# Next Steps:
# Kaloom's UPF and NGC config update by respective teams for slice-blue and slice-red.
# Rebeca integration with NGC (respective teams to take this forward).

Yogendra shared a demo network diagram

Sam: I've tested XRAN FH with FlexRAN v21.03 on the Lenovo server at Kaloom's lab and is working properly. There is an issue with the accelerator, so I'm using SW FEC for now. I will send a replacement board to Sveto to swap out the Pomona Lake ACC board.  I don't have any UL traffic to test with XRAN FH, but L1 link to FH NIC is good at this point.
We can start the L2 integration when you are ready. Thanks

Amit: Sam has updated version on server. Ready with CU/DU binaries. Making some changes and will integrate with L1. Sveto: Has Sam shipped the new FPGA? For the RU part, they were going to test and ship. Need to check in with Hardik. Brandon/Sveto to check in with Hadik from GenXcom.

Demo Timeline:

• Final Testing and Configuration: 27 Jul 2021 - 10 Sep 2021 (Sept 10 ambitious, keep for now to keep things moving)
• Presentation Development: 13 Sep 2021 - 01 Oct 2021 
  • Slideware/script/video(s)/animation
• ONE Summit: 11 Oct 2021 - 12 Oct 2021 

Louis: Have we made up any ground on our timeline? Is Sept 10th a possibility? Sveto: On the the radio side, we need to make up ground. Anything else. Plan B: Show as fancy a slicing demo as we can (still on track).
