Purpose
=======
- The purpose of these requirements is to accelerate adoption of xNF best
practices which will increase innovation, minimize customization needed to
onboard xNFs as well as reduce implementation complexity, time and cost
for all impacted stakeholders.
- The consolidated requirements provide common xNF requirements across
the industry in order to drive interoperability, simplify management, and
reduce cost to build, deploy and manage xNFs.
- These requirements serve multiple purposes:
- Primarily it provides a detailed list of requirements for xNF
providers to meet to be compatible with ONAP; xNF providers will use
the xNF requirements to build VNFs/PNFs that are compatible with ONAP
- It can also serve as a list of requirements that service providers can
use in RFPs for selecting VNFs/PNFs
- It will also be used as a basis for testing and certification of
xNFs for compliance with ONAP; ONAP projects such as the VNF
Validation Project will uses these xNFs requirements to build test
cases to validate xNFs for compliance with ONAP.
