Plenary: The role of the Telecom Operator in driving Innovation in the Open Source community

  • Short Description:  How LFN EUAG serves as the "voice of the customer" within the LFN community

  • Detailed Description: There has been some community thinking about where and how innovation feeds into the community.  Traditionally, the operators have relied on Vendors to drive innovation, but that is changing as more operators prefer to contribute directly to projects.  The process for pulling in requirements appropriately into a community that expects code as requirements needs to accommodate both approaches.  The EUAG can fill that role.

Plenary: EUAG and Industry Initiatives Fragmentation

  • Short Description: How the industry and LFN in particular can formally work harmonize their initiatives to avoid some of the current
    fragmentation. Can EUAG represents the CSPs vision on this topic within the LFN?
  • Detailed Description: The openess and disaggregation allows for accelerated innovation and agility towards faster TTM of new services/products while reducing overall TCO. But when systems are disaggregated, they must then be re-integrated to work as one. To simplify the re-integration, there is a need for an agreement within the industry regarding the ecosystem interoperability. One of the topics included in the "ONAP Consumption Models" is the initiatives fragmentation and the difficults it generates. The lack of industry consensus, interoperability and the complexity of re-integration undermines the success of disaggregation and realization of its primary business benefits. The complexity of re-integration impacts the agility, increases the TTM and also the cost of adoption of disaggregated solutions, which in turn impacts the TCO thus nullifying the business benefits further. The Initiatives fragmentation and proliferation in the industry seems to be not coordinated, many of them are distributed across SDOs, open source and/or several nature communities, vendor solutions, primary service integrations and the CSPs. This initiatives sometimes overlaps, definitions diverge, evolution path disintegrates and a lack of holistic industry vision and a clear future perspective emerge across and all of them. All these aspects prevent CSPs to fully realize the benefits of disaggregation and different solutions from being harmonized to achieve a consolidated systems. This issue induce that instead of accelerating the pace of innovation it can slow it down. Due to this fragmentation, the CSPs are faced with the dilemma of multiple positions and proposals and which of these proposals will pass the test of time and prevail thus ensuring the investments in the medium-long term. This leads to delays in the transformation process and innovation as CSPs wait for a clearer picture to make the decision. This also leads to some CSPs opting for point solutions that threatens a convergent short, medium and long term strategy of disaggregation benefits realization, faster TTM and lowering TCO driven roadmaps.

CNTT - Telemetry/Observability architecture - a path to full automation 

  • Short Description:  In this session we will present an architecture for the Telemetry/Observability of VNFs and Cloud Infrastructure (NFVI) to achieve full automation leading to zero touch operation

  • Detailed Description: As a part of the full automation solution at Deutsche Telekom, we have identified the need for a generic architecture for telemetry and monitoring of the VNFs and Cloud Infrastructure (NFVI) in a generic way.

In this session, we will describe an architecture that presents a generic solution for monitoring the telemetry data of the VNFs and NFVIs in a vendor neutral fashion.

OPNFV / CNTT - Meld Planning Session

  • Short Description: Meld Planning Session covering Organization, Technical and Marketing Efforts to support Meld

  • Detailed Description:  CNTT and OPNFV are really two sides of the same coin, so with the support of the LFN Board, the CNTT/OPNFV Meld work has started and is targeted for completion in January 2021,    Both groups need each other's expertise and resource to succeed with goals very much in alignment.  During this session we will continue the planning work to bring the two groups together and meld them into a new and more powerful whole.  Ultimately, we are looking for the same thing, a way to bring a standard understanding and capability across the Telecom Industry of the infrastructures that are needed to support our future.  This is one of a set of Meld Workshops as we work on the organizational transformation needed to create a new and better entity that will engage in the work that both the soon to be former CNTT and OPNFV groups did.

CNTT/TBC - Gathering and Validating CNF Requirements to Drive RA2 Specification

  • Short Description:  Discussion about how we capture and validate functional CNF requirements, to then group them to allow a more flexible and extensible RA2 specification and set of RC2 test cases.

  • Detailed Description Today, we have two profiles to which an RA2 specification must apply.  There are far more than two different sets of properties that cover all network functions.  For example, low-latency or not (may drive RTOS); high data throughput (may drive SR-IOV/NUMA); ability to work with NAT'd networks or not (may drive certain CNI choices, or even identification of gaps).  Therefore we would like to drive the collection and validation of CNF requirements, to drive the definition of these common groups, which can then be utilised in the RA2 spec and also to allow more targeted test case selection by labels/tags in RC2.  i.e. an operator is deploying RAN and so only selects the tags relevant to that.  Or an operator is deploying CCS on a hyperscaler provider and so only selects the tags relevant to that. This session will look to introduce the concept, and start to identify CNF requirements and agree on how this work can continue at pace.
