Dublin specifically brings 5G network automation for secure, standards-aligned global deployments on any cloud of any size or location.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond the technical accomplishments, Dublin highlights the maturity of our ONAP Community,\u201d said Catherine Lef\u00e8vre, ONAP TSC Chair. \u201cThe relationship between carriers and vendors has grown even stronger through cooperation in many areas, including development, security and integration. For example, Swisscom and Samsung played significant roles in this release. Their collaboration with other carriers and vendors highlights the \u2018innovate together\u2019 spirit that prevails within the ONAP community. Swisscom drove the broadband service use case, collaborating with member vendors of the ONAP open source community in development and testing. Samsung performed penetration tests that identified new requirements that were taken up as a priority by the ONAP Security Subcommittee led by Orange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>End-User Deployments Drive Commercial Activity with ONAP Dublin<\/b><br \/>\nTelcos and vendors alike announced new production deployments of ONAP during the Dublin release cycle. Major operators leverage ONAP to enhance consumer mobility services (AT&amp;T) and monitor the quality of network management system access across several European countries (Orange). Concurrently, carriers including Bringcom, China Mobile, China Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, KT, Reliance Jio, Swisscom Turk Telecom,Telstra, and TIM conduct testing, PoCs, or trials that may result in additional production deployments by the end of 2019.<\/p>\n<p>On the vendor side, Aarna Networks, Amdocs, BOCO, Huawei, and ZTE announced a pure-play ONAP distribution or products based on ONAP. In addition, new demos and support services were made available by Accenture, Ampere, Arris, Ciena,\u00a0 Ericsson, iconectiv, Netsia, Nokia, Pantheon, Ribbon, Rift, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro.<\/p>\n<p>The latest deployments signal ONAP\u2019s continued growth among end users.<\/p>\n<p>Additional updates in ONAP Dublin include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>New and Enhanced Blueprints:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Dublin introduces a new residential connectivity blueprint,\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/07\/ONAP_CaseSolution_BBS_062519.pdf\">Broadband Service (BBS)<\/a><b>, to demonstrate multi-gigabit residential connectivity over PON using ONAP.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li>The multi-release\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/07\/ONAP_CaseSolution_5G_062519.pdf\">5G blueprint<\/a>\u00a0adds enhancements to PNF support, performance management, fault management (PM, FM) monitoring, homing using the physical cell ID (PCI), and progress on modeling to support end-to-end network slicing in subsequent releases.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/07\/ONAP_CaseSolution_CCVPN_062519.pdf\">CCVPN blueprint<\/a>\u00a0now includes dynamic addition of services and bandwidth on-demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>OVP Enhancements:<\/strong>\u00a0In April, an expanded\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lfnetworking.org\/ovp\/\">OPNFV Verification Program<\/a>\u00a0(OVP) was launched that includes VNF verification through publicly-available VNF compliance test tooling based on requirements developed within the ONAP community. While OVP checks against industry-wide requirements, it does not check VNF compliance against operator-specific requirements (e.g. VM flavors, dataplane acceleration technologies, and so on). For this reason, Dublin adds a Vendor Software Product (VSP) compliance check in SDC to fill this gap.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standards Alignment:<\/strong>\u00a0Illustrating the significance of ONAP both as a reference architecture and reference code for an automation platform, LF Networking\u00a0collaborates\u00a0with standards bodies (e.g. 3GPP, ETSI NFV ISG, ETSI ZSM ISG, MEF, and TM Forum) to provide reference architectures for standards development.
