ONAP Heat Networking
-----------------------
ONAP defines two types of networks: External Networks and Internal Networks.
External Networks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ONAP defines an external network in relation to the VNF and not with regard
to the Network Cloud site. External networks may also be referred to as
"inter-VNF" networks. An external network must connect VMs in a VNF to
VMs in another VNF or an external gateway or external router.
An External Network may be a Neutron Network or a Contrail Network.
.. req::
:id: R-16968
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST NOT
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Templates **MUST NOT** include heat
resources to create external networks.
External networks must be orchestrated separately, independent of the VNF.
This allows the network to be shared by multiple VNFs and managed
independently of VNFs.
.. req::
:id: R-00606
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
A VNF **MAY** be connected to zero, one or more than one external
networks.
.. req::
:id: R-57424
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
A VNF's port connected to an external network **MUST**
use the port for the purpose of reaching VMs in another VNF
and/or an external gateway and/or external router. A VNF's port
connected to an external network **MAY** use the port for
the purpose of reaching VMs in the same VNF.
.. req::
:id: R-29865
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
When a VNF connects to an external network, a network role,
referred to as the '{network-role}' **MUST** be assigned to the
external network for use in the VNF's Heat Orchestration Template.
.. req::
:id: R-69014
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
When a VNF connects to an external network, a network role, referred
to as the '{network-role}' **MUST** be assigned to the external network
for use in the VNF's Heat Orchestration Template.
.. req::
:id: R-05201
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
When a VNF connects to two or more external networks, each external
network **MUST** be assigned a unique '{network-role}' in the context of
the VNF for use in the VNF's Heat Orchestration Template.
.. req::
:id: R-83015
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
A VNF's '{network-role}' assigned to an external network **MUST**
be different than the '{network-role}' assigned to the VNF's internal
networks, if internal networks exist.
.. req::
:id: R-99794
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
:test: no test found
:test_case: no test found
:test_file: no test found
An external network **MUST** have one subnet. An external network
**MAY** have more than one subnet.
Note that this document refers to **'{network-role}'** which in reality
is the **'{network-role-tag}'**. The value of the
'{network-role}' / '{network-role-tag}'
is determined by the designer of the VNF's Heat Orchestration Template and
there is no requirement for '{network-role}' / '{network-role-tag}'
uniqueness across Heat Orchestration Templates for
different VNFs.
When an external network is created by ONAP, the network is assigned a
'{network-role}'. The '{network-role}' of the network is not required to
match the '{network-role}' of the VNF Heat Orchestration Template.
For example, the VNF Heat Orchestration Template can assign a '{network-role}'
of 'oam' to a network which attaches to an external network with a
'{network-role}' of 'oam_protected_1' .
When the Heat Orchestration Template is on-boarded into ONAP
* each '{network-role}' value in the Heat Orchestration Template
is mapped to the '{network-role-tag}' in the ONAP
data structure.
* each OS::Neutron::Port is associated with the external network it is
connecting to, thus creating the VNF Heat Orchestration Template
'{network-role}' / '{network-role-tag}' to external network '{network-role}'
mapping.
ONAP enforces a naming convention for parameters associated with
external networks. :ref:`ONAP Heat Resource ID and Parameter Naming Convention`
provides additional details.
Internal Networks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ONAP defines an internal network in relation to the VNF and not with
regard to the Network Cloud site. Internal networks may also be referred
to as "intra-VNF" networks or "private" networks. An internal network
only connects VMs in a single VNF; it must not connect to other VNFs
or an external gateway or router
.. req::
:id: R-87096
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
A VNF **MAY** contain zero, one or more than one internal networks.
.. req::
:id: R-35666
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
If a VNF has an internal network, the VNF Heat Orchestration
Template **MUST** include the heat resources to create the internal network.
.. req::
:id: R-86972
:target: VNF
:keyword: SHOULD
A VNF **SHOULD** create the internal network in the VNF's Heat
Orchestration Template Base Module.
An Internal Network may be created using Neutron Heat Resources and/or
Contrail Heat Resources.
.. req::
:id: R-52425
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
A VNF's port connected to an internal network **MUST** connect
the port to VMs in the same VNF.
.. req::
:id: R-46461
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST NOT
A VNF's port connected to an internal network **MUST NOT** connect
the port to VMs in another VNF and/or an external gateway and/or
external router.
.. req::
:id: R-68936
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
When a VNF creates an internal network, a network role, referred to
as the '{network-role}' **MUST** be assigned to the internal network for
use in the VNF's Heat Orchestration Template.
.. req::
:id: R-32025
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
When a VNF creates two or more internal networks, each internal
network **MUST** be assigned a unique '{network-role}' in the context of
the VNF for use in the VNF's Heat Orchestration Template.
.. req::
:id: R-69874
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
A VNF's '{network-role}' assigned to an internal network **MUST**
be different than the '{network-role}' assigned to the VNF's external
networks.
.. req::
:id: R-16241
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
:test: no test found
:test_case: no test found
:test_file: no test found
A VNF's internal network **MUST** have one subnet.
A VNF's internal network **MAY** have more than one subnet.
.. req::
:id: R-34726
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
If a VNF's port is connected to an internal network and the port
is created in the same Heat Orchestration Template as the internal network,
then the port resource **MUST** use a 'get_resource' to obtain
the network UUID.
.. req::
:id: R-22688
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
If a VNF's port is connected to an internal network and the
port is created in an Incremental Module and the internal
network is created in the Base Module then the UUID of the
internal network **MUST** be exposed
as a parameter in the 'outputs:' section of the Base Module and the port
resource **MUST** use a 'get_param' to obtain the network UUID.
ONAP does not programmatically enforce a naming convention for
parameters for internal network. However, a naming convention is
provided that must be followed.
:ref:`ONAP Heat Resource ID and Parameter Naming Convention`
provides additional details.
