Problem Statement: Transport networks, such as Optical Transport Network (OTN) and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks, are built using equipment from a single vendor and are managed using proprietary interfaces to dedicated Element Management Systems (EMS) / Network Management Systems (NMS). A common open interface to each domain controller/management system is pre-requisite for network operators to control multi-vendor/multi-domain networks and enable also service provisioning coordination/automation. This can be achieved by using standardized YANG models, used together with an appropriate protocol (e.g., RESTCONF). However, there is often confusion of how the existing models in IETF can be used for transport networks.
Goals/Deliverables:
- Use cases and Gap analysis: identify a set of technologies use cases and providing a gap analysis against existing models
- Guidelines: Providing guidelines in terms of how all the related models can be used in a step-wise manner, using a couple of well identified transport network use cases.
Relationship with other work: The Transport NBI is applicable to the ACTN (Abstraction and Control of TE Networks) architecture defined in the TEAS WG, and the scope of the DT may be applicable to the technology specific extensions of the ACTN MPI interface (MDSC-PNC interface).
The first document from the Design Team was:
Transport Northbound Interface Applicability Statement https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-ccamp-transport-nbi-app-statement-17
It is anticipated that future output from the design team will be in the form of Wiki documentation and GitHub code/examples.
