The LFN Technical Meetings for CNTT/OPNFV and ONAP are being held concurrently over three days, April 21 - 23.

CNTT: The Common NFVI Telecom Taskforce (CNTT) is a collaborative effort from GSMA and the Linux Foundation launched in June, 2019. Its mission is to define a common NFV infrastructure to simplify the development and deployment of virtualized networking applications for the telecom industry. This gathering will be an opportunity to advance work on the Reference Architecture and Reference Model and address implementation considerations for OPNFV and the OPNFV Verification Program (OVP).

ONAP: The ONAP community will be hosting meetings for alignment of architecture, modeling, security and other aspects of system design as we look toward future releases of the platform.
