5GTANGO is a 5GPPP Phase2 Innovation Action that enables the flexible programmability of 5G networks with:

a) an NFV-enabled Service Development Kit (SDK);

b) a Store platform with advanced validation and verification mechanisms for VNFs/Network Services qualification (including 3rd party contributions); and,

c) a modular Service Platform with an innovative orchestrator in order to bridge the gap between business needs and network operational management systems.

5GTANGO is contributing to OSM Rel FIVE with:

the support of novel packaging formats that are aligned with ETSI NFV SOL004.
the development of an Slice Manager that will allow the deployment of 5G Network Slices with OSM.

5G-VINNI is a 5GPPP Phase 3 project, started in July 2018. The project is committed to leverage the latest 5G technologies, including results from previous 5GPPP phases, employing advanced network virtualization, slicing, radio and core technologies. In addition a rigorous automated testing campaign will be employed to validate 5G under various combinations of technologies and network loads.

5G-VINNI will be run at four main sites located in Norway, UK, Spain and Greece. In addition, experimental sites will be established in Germany and Portugal. Open APIs will be provided in order to ensure easy access to the 5G-VINNI facility. OSM is one of the NFV orchestration engines of choice.

5G-VINNI plans to contribute to OSM in several ways:

With direct applicability experience in the deployment of 5G end-to-end services
With the feedback from vertical users in realistic 5G and slicing scenarios
With results of the integration of automated testing into the OSM stack

The overall Metro-Haul objective is to architect and design cost-effective, energy-efficient, agile and programmable metro networks that are scalable for 5G access and future requirements, encompassing the design of all-optical metro nodes (including full compute and storage capabilities), which interface effectively with both 5G access and multi-Tbit/s elastic core networks.

Metro-Haul project is contributing to OSM Rel FIVE a WAN Infrastructure Manager (WIM) plugin model that will enable the integration of different WAN control API technologies in the dynamic establishment of multi-site network services across WAN networks.

SONATA is an EU-funded project Horizon 2020 and part of the 5G-PPP initiative on Agile Service Development and Orchestration in 5G Virtualized Networks" which targets both the flexible programmability of software networks and the optimization of their deployments.

SONATA contributed a VIM emulator (vim-emu) to OSM Rel THREE. The vim-emu, now part of OSM DevOps, allows network service developers to locally prototype and test their network services in realistic end-to-end multi-PoP scenarios. It allows the execution of real network functions, packaged as Docker containers, in emulated network topologies running locally on the developer's machine. The emulation platform offers OpenStack-like APIs for each emulated PoP so that it can be easily integrated with MANO tacks. Learn more ...

In Physics, superfluidity is a state in which matter behaves like a fluid with zero viscosity. The SUPERFLUIDITY project was a 5GPPP Phase 1 research project aimed at achieving superfluidity in networks: the ability to instantiate services on-the-fly, run them anywhere in the network (core, aggregation, edge) and shift them transparently to different locations.

The project demonstrated a converged cloud-based 5G concept addressing three forms of heterogeneity: heterogeneous traffic and sources; heterogeneous services and needs; and heterogeneous access technologies, with multi-vendor network components.

SUPERFLUIDITY contributed a new GUI to OSM Rel FOUR leveraging the new NBI based on ETSI SOL005.
