Marketing Update

Open Questions:

—Existing Documentation Link: 

https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/display/LN/How+to+Set+Up+the+5G+Cloud+Native+Network+Demo

—5G Slicing Completion (A10 FW Issue) (Low bandwidth working / high bandwidth workaround) 

—Labs for 2022: UNH Solid, Kaloom still on board? Do we need CENGN?

—GenXComm Radio. Can we start using it? Intel/integration issue. Coming on as members, would be great to use it

—Phase I: How are we doing on ONAP + Magma? Note: Magma slow roll to 5G. How does this affect the demo?

5G Cloud Native Demo Documentation - underway

• Community participation & input will be key to success
• Status: Writer team (WaveLabs) working with Aarna Networks team on developer interviews
• Next Steps:
  • Interviews: Kaloom, RedhatRed Hat, A10 interviews, Cap Gemini Engineering, Turnium, GenXComm, Intel, UNH, Rebacca (Done), Aarna (Done)
  • Rebaca documents previously provided. Any other documentation opportunities from Rebaca?

• Topic Recaps

  • 5G SBP: Realizing multiple network slices & MEC Apps in each slice with LFN/LFE/CNCF projects (thank you Srini & Palani)

    • Open source projects used:

      •  Free5GC for 5G Core Core
      •  UERANSIM to simulate UEs and gNBs.
      •  Video MEC workload
      •  Kubernetes based platform
      •  ICN-K8s for Telcos 
      •  EMCO to orchestrate slices & MEC applications
      •  SDEWAN to connect Edges securely
      •  SDEWAN avatar to steer the traffic from UPFs to MEC applications.
      •  Nodus for creating multiple networks and also to expose these networks & provider networks to CNFs.
  • EMCO Orchestration of Magma
    • Highlights:
      • Orchestration of Magma component (NMS) on the K8s Mgmt cluster
      • Orchestration of Magma AGW on the K8s KuD cluster
      • Automation of register/unregister AGW with NMS via CDS (CBA).
  • Magma sessions:

    • Plenary: Magma 5G - Exploring future feature development and testing topics

    • Plenary: Magma 5G - Understanding ongoing feature development and testing

• US Navy Use Cases:

  • In a centralized site, they want to use ONAP for the 5G SBP

  • For remote/smaller sites with limited IT staff, they want something lighter. So they want to go with EMCO.

  • There is also the issue that remote sites may not always have good connectivity. So in that case, ONAP will be the global orchestrator in a central site. EMCO will be the edge domain orchestrator. When connectivity is there, ONAP can manage EMCO as a southbound controller.

• US Navy use cases above as well as demostrations from DTF lead to 4 potential 5G Orchestration Blueprints:
  • Magma with ONAP CNF Orchestrator
  • Magma with EMCO
  • Magma with ONAP (global orchestrator in a central site) and EMCO (edge domain). Roadmap item. Navy Resources?
  • Free5GC with EMCO
• 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
