Chris, Margaret, Chris just hit the top of the ice berg with that statement that all the legacy SDO work is contextual to their “overlay” and not based on a common platform, or NFV / Cloud agility principles. Aka – I agree with Chris.
ETSI NFV has run into this with multiple legacy SDO’s and we’ve had to ask them to go back and lay the foundation for a more agile framework, vs. coming up with a hard coded end-to-end that only works for them. ** As a result We started a “NFV principles” document in the BBF (SD-397), and multiple operators in the ETSI NFV NOC group want to make this an industry wide whitepaper on how to shift to a more aligned legacy approach for NFV work. I’ll give you one example – We have yet to get the legacy forms to come up with a combined “nodal” view of the NFV platform i.e.: - There are not 3 Separate Central office complex’s --- Enterprise (MEF & IETF), Residential (BBF), and Wireless (3GPP) so until they come up with a common platform end to end their view is overlay only, and NFV is a common platform underlay. So blindly adopting legacy SDO work into NFV is a dangerous thing without applying some principles … If anyone is interested in seeing the SD-397 I’ve drafted for the BBF, that will likely become a ETSI whitepaper it’s available on the BBF site… Regards, Mike From: <[email protected]> on behalf of Christopher Price <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, October 6, 2016 at 12:30 PM To: Margaret Chiosi <[email protected]>, opnfv-tech-discuss <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] [polestar] Ethernet LSO use case - any projects working this besides Opera? Hi Margaret, I would differentiate between a specific MANO use case consuming Ethernet services and Ethernet LSO. While Ethernet LSO is a valuable and important service capability I generally think of it in the context of providing an infrastructure service used in the context of another use case. There is a lot of activity related to LSO across a number of communities, I understand open-o uses Ethernet LSO for some of their use cases (which I think is great) but I would not equate that to the UNI work in OpenDaylight for instance that provides an implementation. I guess I don’t know how to answer the question really, is it if there are other consumers of the use case or other providers? / Chris From: <[email protected]> on behalf of Margaret Chiosi <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, 6 October 2016 at 16:17 To: TECH-DISCUSS OPNFV <[email protected]> Subject: [opnfv-tech-discuss] [polestar] Ethernet LSO use case - any projects working this besides Opera? Folks: the Polestar group is trying to see if there are other projects working this use case besides Opera which is Open-O based. thanks. -- Margaret Chiosi This communication is the property of CenturyLink and may contain confidential or privileged information.
