Foundational data model is the key to open collaboration @HJ Han
Massimo Banzi mentioned that Huawei has done some work in this area - "catalyst" effort = POC - on network intelligence and machine learning. Focus was to demonstrate functionality that could be practically applied. TM Forum sponsored.
@HJ Han sometimes what is demonstrated is not what people are actually doing.
Synchronization of NFV testing white paper and webinar
Published initial NFV white paper at the end of March
Thanks to Beth & Randy & Lei for a great webinar
Community contributions made the white paper a complete perspective of the NFV testing topic
Future white papers: 5G SDN adoption
End user requirements in Anuket
EUAG participants cover a very broad range of networking topics
EUAG would provide another set of eyes to review the conformance testing objectives of Anuket releases
Randy Levensalor should include K8s - but many features are in beta/early development phases
Hardware acceleration (eg. FGPAs) is one area that could use some attention
FPGAs - No common programming language
Smart NICs - largely testing well
Interop testing of acceleration is under-tested - Anuket Reference Model - has started to pick up HW acceleration
VSperf is broadening a bit - unsure if that is covered or still a gap
ODIM also investigating how to uniformly report on acceleration facilities
