  • Architecture Overview
    ONAP Architecture Overview Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) Architecture White Paper 1 Introduction The ONAP project addresses the rising need for a common automation platform for telecommunication, cable, and cloud service providers—and their solution providers—to deliver differentiated network services on demand, profitably and competitively, while leveraging existing investments. The challenge that ONAP meets is to help operators of telecommunication networks to keep up with the scale and cost of manual changes required to implement new service offerings, from installing new data center equipment to, in some cases, upgrading on-premises customer equipment. Many are seeking to exploit SDN and NFV to improve service velocity, simplify equipment interoperability and integration, and to reduce overall CapEx and OpEx costs. In addition, the current, highly fragmented management landscape makes it difficult to monitor and guarantee service-level agreements (SLAs). These challenges are still very real now as ONAP creates its fourth release. ONAP is addressing these challenges by developing global and massive scale (multi-site and multi-VIM) automation capabilities for both physical and virtual network elements. It facilitates service agility by supporting data models for rapid service and resource deployment and providing a common set of northbound REST APIs that are open and interoperable, and by supporting model-driven interfaces to the networks. ONAP’s modular and layered nature improves interoperability and simplifies integration, allowing it to support multiple VNF environments by integrating with multiple VIMs, VNFMs, SDN Controllers, as well as legacy equipment (PNF). ONAP’s consolidated xNF requirements publication enables commercial development of ONAP-compliant xNFs. This approach allows network and cloud operators to optimize their physical and virtual infrastructure for cost and performance; at the same time, ONAP’s use of standard models reduces integration and deployment costs of heterogeneous equipment.

  • Intent NBI for Software Defined Networking
    Intent NBI for Software Defined Networking Intent NBI for Software Defined Networking 1 SDN NBI Challenges According to the architecture definition in Open Networking Foundation (ONF), a Software Defined Network (SDN) includes three vertically separated layers: infrastructure, control and application. The North-Bound Interface (NBI), located between the control plane and the applications, is essential to enable the application innovations and nourish the eco-system of SDN by abstracting the network capabilities/information and opening the abstract/logic network to applications. Traditional NBI used to pay more attention on the function layer. The Functional NBI is usually designed by the network domain experts from the network system point of view. The network capabilities are abstracted and encapsulated from bottom up. This kind of design does not take care of the requirement from user side, but expose network information and capability as much as possible. In this way, applications can get maximum programmability from the functional NBI. The examples of functional NBI include: device and link discovery, ID assignment for network interfaces, configuration of forwarding rules, and management of tens of thousands of network state information. However, let’s look from the application developer’s point of view, and assume that they are not familiar with the complex network concepts and configurations. The application developers want to focus on the functionality of the application and the friendly interaction with application users. The network service is required to be used as easy and automatic as the cloud services. The network function is required to be flexible, available and scalable. All this requires the network to have a set of service oriented, declarative, and intent based NBI.

Driven by the needs of 5G networks and applications and enabled by transformative technologies such as NFV and cloud-native deployment practices, this is likely to be the single biggest technological and business transformation of the telecom industry since the consolidation of mobile communication infrastructures. The telecom networks that will emerge from this transformation are going to be highly distributed and fully software-defined, running primarily on homogeneous cloud resources. The flexibility that these characteristics bring will allow mobile operators to address the heterogeneous and divergent needs of 5G applications in a highly efficient manner (e.g. through the use of techniques like network slicing) – but only if the overall network services can be properly managed. The issue of management is perhaps the most critical challenge facing the telecom industry as it moves into 5G.

As such, the work on active networking represents one of After a long period when networking research seemed to be fo- the few recent research efforts that considered network architecture cused mainly on making the existing Internet work better, inter- as something other than a solved problem. est in “clean slate” approaches to network architecture seems to be This note is an attempt to present some observations based on growing. Beginning with the DARPA program in the mid-1990’s, the author’s experiences, in the hope of extracting some insight into researchers working on active networks explored such an approach, network architecture. It is neither an attempt to make a case for ac- based on the idea of a programming interface as the basic interoper- tive or programmable networking, nor to claim that experience with ability mechanism of the network. This note draws on the author’s active networks (AN) architecture necessarily transfers to other any experiences in that effort and attempts to extract some observations other kind of network architecture. The AN effort, after all, focused or “lessons learned” that may be relevant to more general network on solving a particular problem—the difficult and lengthy process architecture research. of standardizing and deploying new protocols and services—using a particular technology: programmable network nodes. Neverthe- less, there may be some general lessons here. The reader will judge Categories and Subject Descriptors whether that is the case.
