Enterprise vCPE use case requirement December

E-vCPE Business drivers Enterprise customers would benefit from cloud services and automation either on-premises or in the cloud depending on their branch configurations. This will free the enterprise users from the installation, local configuration and administration of LAN/NAT/WAN/VPN networking. SPs would benefit from a more flexible platform to provide more kinds of virtual services. To implement the configuration remotely will help SPs reduce complexity of the service deployment and cut down the OPEX. The centralized traffic scheduling and optimization of backbone network is the embodiment of SDN concept in backbone network, it will help operators enhance the management ability of operation and maintenance and improve the efficiency of resource utilization.

E-vCPE Usecase Description This use case is mainly used for the Enterprise Service Provider (SP) to provide the Site2site service to the tenants both efficiently and safely by deploying enterprise-based vCPE. Enterprise users could receive high-quality and cheap cloud service based on the operator’s BSS Portal and ONAP. And in here, ONAP is used to instantiate and operate the required vCPE in the access network as a cloud service. For the application scenarios of E-vCPE use case, it supports site-to-site, site-to-DC and site-to-Internet services to the customers. It not only provides the solution of ThinCPE and vCPE in the edge-DC but also CPE solution as an alternative choice for enterprise customer. The solution of vCPE in the edge-DC is an actual deployment scheme which can provide more value-added service in DC and make it easy for access control. In this case, ONAP will present its function to instantiate, configure and manage both the overlay connection between site-to-site/DC/Internet and VNFs . There are two alternative ways to set up overlay connection, including VxLAN and IPSec. It is a stretch goal to fulfill traffic scheduling in WAN network by means of path calculation and load balancing.

Path Selection New SDN-C,DCAE, A&AI,PCE, policy Do the selection of different access SPs networks or different core networks( MPLS/Internet) within one SP. Multiple path algorithms or pre-set strategies are supported to calculate and adjust the forwarding path according to the collected network data from SDN-C or DCAE, A&AI. Then new forwarding path is deployed to the device to realize the path selection. R43. Service Capability Management MSB,A&AI,SO,SDC It’s proposed as a project currently.

R42. Path Selection Description: Analyze and trigger Policy PCE (Path Computation Element) is a module that aims to meet the path selection requirement. It is used to conduct the path calculation and load balancing for the ONAP network. In the current network, there are multiple vendor controllers along with different path calculation method. As for overlay ,PCE can do the selection of different access SPs networks or different core networks( MPLS/Internet) within one SP using the data collected and path calculation algorithm. Through the PCE, ONAP can also analyze data collected from PNFs thus acquiring the whole network topology and flow, and then conduct path calculation uniformly for traffic scheduling and load balancing for underlay.
