- ONAP using JSON (RFC 7159) plain text format. High-volume data
- is to be encoded and serialized using `Avro <http://avro.apache.org/>`_, where the Avro [1]_ data format are described using JSON.
-
- Note:
-
- - JSON plain text format is preferred for moderate volume data sets
- (option 1), as JSON has the advantage of having well-understood simple
- processing and being human-readable without additional decoding. Examples
- of moderate volume data sets include the fault alarms and performance
- alerts, heartbeat messages, measurements used for xNF scaling and syslogs.
- - Binary format using Avro is preferred for high volume data sets
- (option 2) such as mobility flow measurements and other high-volume
- streaming events (such as mobility signaling events or SIP signaling)
- or bulk data, as this will significantly reduce the volume of data
- to be transmitted. As of the date of this document, all events are
- reported using plain text JSON and REST.
- - Avro content is self-documented, using a JSON schema. The JSON schema is
- delivered along with the data content
- (http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/ ). This means the presence and
- position of data fields can be recognized automatically, as well as the
- data format, definition and other attributes. Avro content can be
- serialized as JSON tagged text or as binary. In binary format, the
- JSON schema is included as a separate data block, so the content is

-* R-98191 The xNF **MUST** vary the frequency that asynchronous data

-
- Note:
-
- - For example, alarms and alerts are expected to be delivered as
- soon as they appear. In contrast, other content, such as
- performance measurements, KPIs or reported network signaling may have
- various ways of packaging and delivering content. Some content should
- be streamed immediately; or content may be monitored over a time interval,
- then packaged as collection of records and delivered as block; or data
- may be collected until a package of a certain size has been collected;
- or content may be summarized statistically over a time interval, or
- computed as a KPI, with the summary or KPI being delivered.
- - We expect the reporting frequency to be configurable depending
- on the virtual network function’s needs for management. For example,
- Service Provider may choose to vary the frequency of collection between
- normal and trouble-shooting scenarios.
- - Decisions about the frequency of data reporting will affect the
- size of delivered data sets, recommended delivery method, and how the

- affect deserialization and decoding of the data, which will be guided
- by the accompanying JSON schema or GPB definition files.

Asynchronous and Synchronous Data Delivery

-* R-42140 The xNF **MUST** respond to data requests from ONAP as soon
- as those requests are received, as a synchronous response.
-* R-34660 The xNF **MUST** use the RESTCONF/NETCONF framework used by
- the ONAP configuration subsystem for synchronous communication.
-* R-86586 The xNF **MUST** use the YANG configuration models and RESTCONF
- [RFC8040] (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8040).
-* R-11240 The xNF **MUST** respond with content encoded in JSON, as
- described in the RESTCONF specification. This way the encoding of a
- synchronous communication will be consistent with Avro.
-* R-70266 The xNF **MUST** respond to an ONAP request to deliver the
- current data for any of the record types defined in
- `Event Records - Data Structure Description`_ by returning the requested
- record, populated with the current field values. (Currently the defined
- record types include fault fields, mobile flow fields, measurements for
- xNF scaling fields, and syslog fields. Other record types will be added
- in the future as they become standardized and are made available.)

- data on device or subsystem status or performance, referencing the YANG
- configuration model for the xNF by returning the requested data elements.
-* R-43327 The xNF **SHOULD** use `Modeling JSON text with YANG
