This is a proposal for a new Blueprint Species addition to the existing Integrated Cloud Native NFV (ICN) blueprint. The contributors to this blueprint are the same as the original ICN blueprint (with some changes), and we will seek more members to join the blueprint.
Use Case Attributes | Description | Informational |
Type | New | |
Blueprint Family | Integrated Cloud Native NFV (ICN) | |
Use Case | End to end connectivity using Private LTE/5G over the CBRS band | |
Blueprint proposed Name | Private LTE/5G ICN blueprint | |
Initial POD Cost (capex) | Same as ICN — 50K minimum | |
Scale & Type | Same as ICN — Minimum of 4 Xeon Servers + 1 Xeon server as genesis | |
Applications | RAN+Core (initially LTE, eventually 5G), and reuse of existing ICN applications: ML/DL Analytics, EdgeXFoundry and 360 degree Video streaming | |
Power Restrictions | TBD | |
Orchestration | Same as ICN — Infrastructure Orchestration
Service Orchestration : ONAP with AF integration MEC framework: OpenNESS Site orchestrator : Kubernetes upstream Traffic Orchestration within a cluster: ISTIO Traffic orchestration with external entities : ISTIO-ingress and ISTIO-egress with MCDeployment Knative for function orchestration Additional platform component: Open source UPF | |
SDN | Same as ICN — OVN, SRIOV, Flannel; additionally Tungsten Fabric | |
Workload Type | Containers and functions | |
Additional Details | Our roadmap will be:
Use cases:
