Proposal 3 - E2E Network Slicing

This will provide an overview of E2E Network Slicing in ONAP and how it will address different deployment scenarios.

The paper will cover the e2e network perspective, practical scenarios and requirements, work done so far in ONAP (architectural framework, modelling, LCM, Closed Loop, etc.), roadmap, alignment & interaction with SDOs (3GPP, ETSI, O-RAN, TMF, IETF), other LF projects (e.g., OSC, Acumos) and other use cases (e.g., IBN, SON).

Goals:

• Promote the work done in ONAP and how it can address the needs of CSPs
• Talk about potential collaboration with other LF projects for better synergy
