We are providing the API simulator to the Fibre To The Home Council and TM Forum members as a perpetual service to support development, onboarding and adoption of TM Forum APIs. Specifications for all of the APIs used in this demo have been contributed as part of this project. The best practice use of TM Forum SID specifications as metadata for the catalog was contributed in the 2014 B2B Catalyst project, and was re-used in this project.
