3 TransportPCE Developer Guide
4 ============================
9 TransportPCE describes an application running on top of the OpenDaylight
10 controller. Its primary function is to control an optical transport
11 infrastructure using a non-proprietary South Bound Interface (SBI). It may be
12 interconnected with Controllers of different layers (L2, L3 Controller…), a
13 higher layer Controller and/or an Orchestrator through non-proprietary
14 Application Programing Interfaces (APIs). Control includes the capability to
15 configure the optical equipment, and to provision services according to a
16 request coming from a higher layer controller and/or an orchestrator.
17 This capability may rely on the controller only or it may be delegated to
18 distributed (standardized) protocols.
24 TransportPCE modular architecture is described on the next diagram. Each main
25 function such as Topology management, Path Calculation Engine (PCE), Service
26 handler, Renderer \_responsible for the path configuration through optical
27 equipment\_ and Optical Line Management (OLM) is associated with a generic block
28 relying on open models, each of them communicating through published APIs.

34 TransportPCE architecture
36 Fluorine, Neon and Sodium releases of transportPCE are dedicated to the control
37 of WDM transport infrastructure. The WDM layer is built from colorless ROADMs
40 The interest of using a controller to provision automatically services strongly
41 relies on its ability to handle end to end optical services that span through
42 the different network domains, potentially equipped with equipment coming from
43 different suppliers. Thus, interoperability in the optical layer is a key
44 element to get the benefit of automated control.
46 Initial design of TransportPCE leverages OpenROADM Multi-Source-Agreement (MSA)
47 which defines interoperability specifications, consisting of both Optical
48 interoperability and Yang data models.
50 End to end OTN services such as OCH-OTU4, structured ODU4 or 10GE-ODU2e
51 services are supported since Magnesium SR2. OTN support continued to be
52 improved in the following releases of Magnesium and Aluminium.
54 Flexgrid was introduced in Aluminium. Depending on OpenROADM device models,
55 optical interfaces can be created according to the initial fixed grid (for
56 R1.2.1, 96 channels regularly spaced of 50 GHz), or to a flexgrid (for R2.2.1
57 use of specific number of subsequent frequency slots of 6.25 GHz depending on
58 one side of ROADMs and transponders capabilities and on the other side of the
61 Leveraging Flexgrid feature, high rate services are supported since Silicon.
62 First implementation allows rendering 400 GE services. This release also brings
63 asynchronous service creation and deletion, thanks to northbound notifications
64 modules based on a Kafka implementation, allowing interactions with the DMaaP
67 Phosphorus consolidates end to end support for high rate services (ODUC4, OTUC4),
68 allowing service creation and deletion from the NBI. The support of path
69 computation for high rate services (OTUC4) will be added through the different P
70 releases, relying on GNPy for impairment aware path computation. An experimental
71 support of T-API is provided allowing service-create/delete from a T-API version
72 2.1.1 compliant NBI. A T-API network topology, with different levels of abstraction
73 and service context are maintained in the MDSAL. Service state is managed,
74 monitoring device port state changes. Associated notifications are handled through
75 Kafka and DMaaP clients.
84 Service Handler handles request coming from a higher level controller or an
85 orchestrator through the northbound API, as defined in the Open ROADM service model.
86 Current implementation addresses the following rpcs: service-create, temp-service-
87 create, service–delete, temp-service-delete, service-reroute, and service-restoration.
88 It checks the request consistency and trigs path calculation sending rpcs to the PCE.
89 If a valid path is returned by the PCE, path configuration is initiated relying on
90 Renderer and OLM. At the confirmation of a successful service creation, the Service
91 Handler updates the service-list/temp-service-list in the MD-SAL. For service deletion,
92 the Service Handler relies on the Renderer and the OLM to delete connections and reset
93 power levels associated with the service. The service-list is updated following a
94 successful service deletion. In Neon SR0 is added the support for service from ROADM
95 to ROADM, which brings additional flexibility and notably allows reserving resources
96 when transponders are not in place at day one. Magnesium SR2 fully supports end-to-end
97 OTN services which are part of the OTN infrastructure. It concerns the management of
98 OCH-OTU4 (also part of the optical infrastructure) and structured HO-ODU4 services.
99 Moreover, once these two kinds of OTN infrastructure service created, it is possible
100 to manage some LO-ODU services (1GE-ODU0, 10GE-ODU2e). 100GE services are also
101 supported over ODU4 in transponders or switchponders using higher rate network
104 In Silicon release, the management of TopologyUpdateNotification coming from the *Topology Management*
105 module was implemented. This functionality enables the controller to update the information of existing
106 services according to the online status of the network infrastructure. If any service is affected by
107 the topology update and the *odl-transportpce-nbi* feature is installed, the Service Handler will send a
108 notification to a Kafka server with the service update information.
113 The Path Computation Element (PCE) is the component responsible for path
114 calculation. An interface allows the Service Handler or external components such as an
115 orchestrator to request a path computation and get a response from the PCE
116 including the computed path(s) in case of success, or errors and indication of
117 the reason for the failure in case the request cannot be satisfied. Additional
118 parameters can be provided by the PCE in addition to the computed paths if
119 requested by the client module. An interface to the Topology Management module
120 allows keeping PCE aligned with the latest changes in the topology. Information
121 about current and planned services is available in the MD-SAL data store.
123 Current implementation of PCE allows finding the shortest path, minimizing either the hop
124 count (default) or the propagation delay. Central wavelength is assigned considering a fixed
125 grid of 96 wavelengths 50 GHz spaced. The assignment of wavelengths according to a flexible
126 grid considering 768 subsequent slots of 6,25 GHz (total spectrum of 4.8 Thz), and their
127 occupation by existing services is planned for later releases.
128 In Neon SR0, the PCE calculates the OSNR, on the base of incremental noise specifications
129 provided in Open ROADM MSA. The support of unidirectional ports is also added.
131 PCE handles the following constraints as hard constraints:
135 - **Maximum latency**
137 In Magnesium SR0, the interconnection of the PCE with GNPY (Gaussian Noise Python), an
138 open-source library developed in the scope of the Telecom Infra Project for building route
139 planning and optimizing performance in optical mesh networks, is fully supported. Impairment
140 aware path computation for service of higher rates (Beyond 100G) is planned across Phoshorus
141 releases. It implies to make B100G OpenROADM specifications available in GNPy libraries.
143 If the OSNR calculated by the PCE is too close to the limit defined in OpenROADM
144 specifications, the PCE forwards through a REST interface to GNPY external tool the topology
145 and the pre-computed path translated in routing constraints. GNPy calculates a set of Quality of
146 Transmission metrics for this path using its own library which includes models for OpenROADM.
147 The result is sent back to the PCE. If the path is validated, the PCE sends back a response to
148 the service handler. In case of invalidation of the path by GNPY, the PCE sends a new request to
149 GNPY, including only the constraints expressed in the path-computation-request initiated by the
150 Service Handler. GNPy then tries to calculate a path based on these relaxed constraints. The
151 result of the path computation is provided to the PCE which translates the path according to the
152 topology handled in transportPCE and forwards the results to the Service Handler.
154 GNPy relies on SNR and takes into account the linear and non-linear impairments
155 to check feasibility. In the related tests, GNPy module runs externally in a
156 docker and the communication with T-PCE is ensured via HTTPs.
161 Topology management module builds the Topology according to the Network model
162 defined in OpenROADM. The topology is aligned with IETF I2RS RFC8345 model.
163 It includes several network layers:
165 - **CLLI layer corresponds to the locations that host equipment**
166 - **Network layer corresponds to a first level of disaggregation where we
167 separate Xponders (transponder, muxponders or switchponders) from ROADMs**
168 - **Topology layer introduces a second level of disaggregation where ROADMs
169 Add/Drop modules ("SRGs") are separated from the degrees which includes line
170 amplifiers and WSS that switch wavelengths from one to another degree**
171 - **OTN layer introduced in Magnesium includes transponders as well as switch-ponders and
172 mux-ponders having the ability to switch OTN containers from client to line cards. Mg SR0
173 release includes creation of the switching pool (used to model cross-connect matrices),
174 tributary-ports and tributary-slots at the initial connection of NETCONF devices.
175 The population of OTN links (OTU4 and ODU4), and the adjustment of the tributary ports/slots
176 pool occupancy when OTN services are created is supported since Magnesium SR2.**
178 Since Silicon release, the Topology Management module process NETCONF event received through an
179 event stream (as defined in RFC 5277) between devices and the NETCONF adapter of the controller.
180 Current implementation detects device configuration changes and updates the topology datastore accordingly.
181 Then, it sends a TopologyUpdateNotification to the *Service Handler* to indicate that a change has been
182 detected in the network that may affect some of the already existing services.
187 The Renderer module, on request coming from the Service Handler through a service-
188 implementation-request /service delete rpc, sets/deletes the path corresponding to a specific
189 service between A and Z ends. The path description provided by the service-handler to the
190 renderer is based on abstracted resources (nodes, links and termination-points), as provided
191 by the PCE module. The renderer converts this path-description in a path topology based on
192 device resources (circuit-packs, ports,…).
194 The conversion from abstracted resources to device resources is performed relying on the
195 portmapping module which maintains the connections between these different resource types.
196 Portmapping module also allows to keep the topology independant from the devices releases.
197 In Neon (SR0), portmapping module has been enriched to support both openroadm 1.2.1 and 2.2.1
198 device models. The full support of openroadm 2.2.1 device models (both in the topology management
199 and the rendering function) has been added in Neon SR1. In Magnesium, portmapping is enriched with
200 the supported-interface-capability, OTN supporting-interfaces, and switching-pools (reflecting
201 cross-connection capabilities of OTN switch-ponders). The support for 7.1 devices models is
202 introduced in Silicon (no devices of intermediate releases have been proposed and made available
203 to the market by equipment manufacturers).
205 After the path is provided, the renderer first checks what are the existing interfaces on the
206 ports of the different nodes that the path crosses. It then creates missing interfaces. After all
207 needed interfaces have been created it sets the connections required in the nodes and
208 notifies the Service Handler on the status of the path creation. Path is created in 2 steps
209 (from A to Z and Z to A). In case the path between A and Z could not be fully created, a
210 rollback function is called to set the equipment on the path back to their initial configuration
211 (as they were before invoking the Renderer).
213 Magnesium brings the support of OTN services. SR0 supports the creation of OTU4, ODU4, ODU2/ODU2e
214 and ODU0 interfaces. The creation of these low-order otn interfaces must be triggered through
215 otn-service-path RPC. Magnesium SR2 fully supports end-to-end otn service implementation into devices
216 (service-implementation-request /service delete rpc, topology alignement after the service
219 In Silicon releases, higher rate OTN interfaces (OTUC4) must be triggered through otn-service-
220 path RPC. Phosphorus SR0 supports end-to-end otn service implementation into devices
221 (service-implementation-request /service delete rpc, topology alignement after the service
222 has been created). One shall note that impairment aware path calculation for higher rates will
223 be made available across the Phosphorus release train.
228 Optical Line Management module implements two main features: it is responsible
229 for setting up the optical power levels on the different interfaces, and is in
230 charge of adjusting these settings across the life of the optical
233 After the different connections have been established in the ROADMS, between 2
234 Degrees for an express path, or between a SRG and a Degree for an Add or Drop
235 path; meaning the devices have set WSS and all other required elements to
236 provide path continuity, power setting are provided as attributes of these
237 connections. This allows the device to set all complementary elements such as
238 VOAs, to guaranty that the signal is launched at a correct power level
239 (in accordance to the specifications) in the fiber span. This also applies
240 to X-Ponders, as their output power must comply with the specifications defined
241 for the Add/Drop ports (SRG) of the ROADM. OLM has the responsibility of
242 calculating the right power settings, sending it to the device, and check the
243 PM retrieved from the device to verify that the setting was correctly applied
244 and the configuration was successfully completed.
250 TransportPCE Inventory module is responsible to keep track of devices connected in an external
251 MariaDB database. Other databases may be used as long as they comply with SQL and are compatible
252 with OpenDaylight (for example MySQL). At present, the module supports extracting and persisting
253 inventory of devices OpenROADM MSA version 1.2.1. Inventory module changes to support newer device
254 models (2.2.1, etc) and other models (network, service, etc) will be progressively included.
256 The inventory module can be activated by the associated karaf feature (odl-transporpce-inventory)
257 The database properties are supplied in the “opendaylight-release” and “opendaylight-snapshots”
258 profiles. Below is the settings.xml with properties included in the distribution.
259 The module can be rebuild from sources with different parameters.
261 Sample entry in settings.xml to declare an external inventory database:
266 <id>opendaylight-release</id>
269 <transportpce.db.host><<hostname>>:3306</transportpce.db.host>
270 <transportpce.db.database><<databasename>></transportpce.db.database>
271 <transportpce.db.username><<username>></transportpce.db.username>
272 <transportpce.db.password><<password>></transportpce.db.password>
273 <karaf.localFeature>odl-transportpce-inventory</karaf.localFeature>
278 <id>opendaylight-snapshots</id>
281 <transportpce.db.host><<hostname>>:3306</transportpce.db.host>
282 <transportpce.db.database><<databasename>></transportpce.db.database>
283 <transportpce.db.username><<username>></transportpce.db.username>
284 <transportpce.db.password><<password>></transportpce.db.password>
285 <karaf.localFeature>odl-transportpce-inventory</karaf.localFeature>
291 Once the project built and when karaf is started, the cfg file is generated in etc folder with the
292 corresponding properties supplied in settings.xml. When devices with OpenROADM 1.2.1 device model
293 are mounted, the device listener in the inventory module loads several device attributes to various
294 tables as per the supplied database. The database structure details can be retrieved from the file
295 tests/inventory/initdb.sql inside project sources. Installation scripts and a docker file are also
298 Key APIs and Interfaces
299 -----------------------
304 North API, interconnecting the Service Handler to higher level applications
305 relies on the Service Model defined in the MSA. The Renderer and the OLM are
306 developed to allow configuring Open ROADM devices through a southbound
307 Netconf/Yang interface and rely on the MSA’s device model.

460 Running transportPCE project
461 ----------------------------
463 To use transportPCE controller, the first step is to connect the controller to optical nodes
464 through the NETCONF connector.
468 In the current version, only optical equipment compliant with open ROADM datamodels are managed
475 To connect a node, use the following JSON RPC
477 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/config/network-topology:network-topology/topology/topology-netconf/node/<node-id>*
486 "node-id": "<node-id>",
487 "netconf-node-topology:tcp-only": "false",
488 "netconf-node-topology:reconnect-on-changed-schema": "false",
489 "netconf-node-topology:host": "<node-ip-address>",
490 "netconf-node-topology:default-request-timeout-millis": "120000",
491 "netconf-node-topology:max-connection-attempts": "0",
492 "netconf-node-topology:sleep-factor": "1.5",
493 "netconf-node-topology:actor-response-wait-time": "5",
494 "netconf-node-topology:concurrent-rpc-limit": "0",
495 "netconf-node-topology:between-attempts-timeout-millis": "2000",
496 "netconf-node-topology:port": "<netconf-port>",
497 "netconf-node-topology:connection-timeout-millis": "20000",
498 "netconf-node-topology:username": "<node-username>",
499 "netconf-node-topology:password": "<node-password>",
500 "netconf-node-topology:keepalive-delay": "300"
506 Then check that the netconf session has been correctly established between the controller and the
507 node. the status of **netconf-node-topology:connection-status** must be **connected**
509 **REST API** : *GET /restconf/operational/network-topology:network-topology/topology/topology-netconf/node/<node-id>*
512 Node configuration discovery
513 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
515 Once the controller is connected to the node, transportPCE application automatically launchs a
516 discovery of the node configuration datastore and creates **Logical Connection Points** to any
517 physical ports related to transmission. All *circuit-packs* inside the node configuration are
520 Use the following JSON RPC to check that function internally named *portMapping*.
522 **REST API** : *GET /restconf/config/portmapping:network*
526 In ``org-openroadm-device.yang``, four types of optical nodes can be managed:
527 * rdm: ROADM device (optical switch)
528 * xpdr: Xponder device (device that converts client to optical channel interface)
529 * ila: in line amplifier (optical amplifier)
530 * extplug: external pluggable (an optical pluggable that can be inserted in an external unit such as a router)
532 TransportPCE currently supports rdm and xpdr
534 Depending on the kind of open ROADM device connected, different kind of *Logical Connection Points*
535 should appear, if the node configuration is not empty:
537 - DEG<degree-number>-TTP-<port-direction>: created on the line port of a degree on a rdm equipment
538 - SRG<srg-number>-PP<port-number>: created on the client port of a srg on a rdm equipment
539 - XPDR<number>-CLIENT<port-number>: created on the client port of a xpdr equipment
540 - XPDR<number>-NETWORK<port-number>: created on the line port of a xpdr equipment
542 For further details on openROADM device models, see `openROADM MSA white paper <https://0201.nccdn.net/1_2/000/000/134/c50/Open-ROADM-MSA-release-2-Device-White-paper-v1-1.pdf>`__.
544 Optical Network topology
545 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
547 Before creating an optical connectivity service, your topology must contain at least two xpdr
548 devices connected to two different rdm devices. Normally, the *openroadm-topology* is automatically
549 created by transportPCE. Nevertheless, depending on the configuration inside optical nodes, this
550 topology can be partial. Check that link of type *ROADMtoROADM* exists between two adjacent rdm
553 **REST API** : *GET /restconf/config/ietf-network:network/openroadm-topology*
555 If it is not the case, you need to manually complement the topology with *ROADMtoROADM* link using
556 the following REST RPC:
559 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/operations/networkutils:init-roadm-nodes*
566 "networkutils:input": {
567 "networkutils:rdm-a-node": "<node-id-A>",
568 "networkutils:deg-a-num": "<degree-A-number>",
569 "networkutils:termination-point-a": "<Logical-Connection-Point>",
570 "networkutils:rdm-z-node": "<node-id-Z>",
571 "networkutils:deg-z-num": "<degree-Z-number>",
572 "networkutils:termination-point-z": "<Logical-Connection-Point>"
576 *<Logical-Connection-Point> comes from the portMapping function*.
578 Unidirectional links between xpdr and rdm nodes must be created manually. To that end use the two
584 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/operations/networkutils:init-xpdr-rdm-links*
591 "networkutils:input": {
592 "networkutils:links-input": {
593 "networkutils:xpdr-node": "<xpdr-node-id>",
594 "networkutils:xpdr-num": "1",
595 "networkutils:network-num": "<xpdr-network-port-number>",
596 "networkutils:rdm-node": "<rdm-node-id>",
597 "networkutils:srg-num": "<srg-number>",
598 "networkutils:termination-point-num": "<Logical-Connection-Point>"
606 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/operations/networkutils:init-rdm-xpdr-links*
613 "networkutils:input": {
614 "networkutils:links-input": {
615 "networkutils:xpdr-node": "<xpdr-node-id>",
616 "networkutils:xpdr-num": "1",
617 "networkutils:network-num": "<xpdr-network-port-number>",
618 "networkutils:rdm-node": "<rdm-node-id>",
619 "networkutils:srg-num": "<srg-number>",
620 "networkutils:termination-point-num": "<Logical-Connection-Point>"
628 Before creating an OTN service, your topology must contain at least two xpdr devices of MUXPDR
629 or SWITCH type connected to two different rdm devices. To check that these xpdr are present in the
630 OTN topology, use the following command on the REST API :
632 **REST API** : *GET /restconf/config/ietf-network:network/otn-topology*
634 An optical connectivity service shall have been created in a first setp. Since Magnesium SR2, the OTN
635 links are automatically populated in the topology after the Och, OTU4 and ODU4 interfaces have
636 been created on the two network ports of the xpdr.
641 Use the *service handler* module to create any end-to-end connectivity service on an OpenROADM
642 network. Two different kinds of end-to-end "optical" services are managed by TransportPCE:
643 - 100GE/400GE services from client port to client port of two transponders (TPDR)
644 - Optical Channel (OC) service from client add/drop port (PP port of SRG) to client add/drop port of
647 For these services, TransportPCE automatically invokes *renderer* module to create all required
648 interfaces and cross-connection on each device supporting the service.
649 As an example, the creation of a 100GE service implies among other things, the creation of OCH or
650 Optical Tributary Signal (OTSi), OTU4 and ODU4 interfaces on the Network port of TPDR devices.
651 The creation of a 400GE service implies the creation of OTSi, OTUC4, ODUC4 and ODU4 interfaces on
652 the Network port of TPDR devices.
654 Since Magnesium SR2, the *service handler* module directly manages some end-to-end otn
655 connectivity services.
656 Before creating a low-order OTN service (1GE or 10GE services terminating on client port of MUXPDR
657 or SWITCH), the user must ensure that a high-order ODU4 container exists and has previously been
658 configured (it means structured to support low-order otn services) to support low-order OTN containers.
659 Thus, OTN service creation implies three steps:
660 1. OCH-OTU4 service from network port to network port of two OTN Xponders (MUXPDR or SWITCH)
661 2. HO-ODU4 service from network port to network port of two OTN Xponders (MUXPDR or SWITCH)
662 3. 10GE service creation from client port to client port of two OTN Xponders (MUXPDR or SWITCH)
664 The management of other OTN services (1GE-ODU0, 100GE...) is planned for future releases.

1338 As for the previous RPC, this RPC invokes the *PCE* module to compute a path over the
1339 *otn-topology* that must contains ODU4 links with valid bandwidth parameters, and then
1340 invokes *renderer* and *OLM* to implement the end-to-end path into the devices.

1345 updated in the service-list datastore.
1348 trib-slot is used when the equipment supports contiguous trib-slot allocation (supported from
1349 Magnesium SR0). The trib-slot provided corresponds to the first of the used trib-slots.
1350 complex-trib-slots will be used when the equipment does not support contiguous trib-slot
1351 allocation. In this case a list of the different trib-slots to be used shall be provided.
1352 The support for non contiguous trib-slot allocation is planned for later release.
1357 Deleting any kind of service
1358 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1360 Use the following REST RPC to invoke *service handler* module in order to delete a given optical
1361 connectivity service.

1384 Most important parameters for this REST RPC is the *service-name*.
1388 Deleting OTN services implies proceeding in the reverse way to their creation. Thus, OTN
1389 service deletion must respect the three following steps:
1390 1. delete first all 10GE services supported over any ODU4 to be deleted
1392 3. delete OCH-OTU4 supporting the just deleted ODU4

1509 ---------------------
1511 This feature allows TransportPCE application to expose at its northbound interface other APIs than
1512 those defined by the OpenROADM MSA. With this feature, TransportPCE provides part of the Transport-API
1513 specified by the Open Networking Foundation. More specifically, the Topology Service and Connectivity
1514 Service components are implemented, allowing to expose to higher level applications an abstraction of
1515 its OpenROADM topologies in the form of topologies respecting the T-API modelling, as well as
1516 creating/deleting connectivity services between the Service Interface Points (SIPs) exposed by the
1517 T-API topology. The current version of TransportPCE implements the *tapi-topology.yang* and
1518 *tapi-connectivity.yang* models in the revision 2018-12-10 (T-API v2.1.2).
1520 Additionally, support for the Notification Service component will be added in future releases, which
1521 will allow higher level applications to create/delete a Notification Subscription Service to receive
1522 several T-API notifications as defined in the *tapi-notification.yang* model.
1524 T-API Topology Service
1525 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1527 - RPC calls implemented:
1529 - get-topology-details
1533 - get-node-edge-point-details
1540 As in IETF or OpenROADM topologies, T-API topologies are composed of lists of nodes and links that
1541 abstract a set of network resources. T-API specifies the *T0 - Multi-layer topology* which is, as
1542 indicated by its name, a single topology that collapses network logical abstraction for all network
1543 layers. Thus, an OpenROADM device as, for example, an OTN xponder that manages the following network
1544 layers ETH, ODU, OTU, Optical wavelength, will be represented in T-API T0 topology by two nodes:
1545 one *DSR/ODU* node and one *Photonic Media* node. Each of them are linked together through one or
1546 several *transitional links* depending on the number of network/line ports on the device.
1548 Aluminium SR2 comes with a complete refactoring of this module, handling the same way multi-layer
1549 abstraction of any Xponder terminal device, whether it is a 100G transponder, an OTN muxponder or
1550 again an OTN switch. For all these devices, the implementation manages the fact that only relevant
1551 ports must appear in the resulting TAPI topology abstraction. In other words, only client/network ports
1552 that are undirectly/directly connected to the ROADM infrastructure are considered for the abstraction.
1553 Moreover, the whole ROADM infrastructure of the network is also abstracted towards a single photonic
1554 node. Therefore, a pair of unidirectional xponder-output/xponder-input links present in *openroadm-topology*
1555 is represented by a bidirectional *OMS* link in TAPI topology.
1556 In the same way, a pair of unidirectional OTN links (OTU4, ODU4) present in *otn-topology* is also
1557 represented by a bidirectional OTN link in TAPI topology, while retaining their available bandwidth
1560 Phosphorus SR0 extends the T-API topology service implementation by bringing a fully described topology.
1561 *T0 - Full Multi-layer topology* is derived from the existing *T0 - Multi-layer topology*. But the ROADM
1562 infrastructure is not abstracted and the higher level application can get more details on the composition
1563 of the ROADM infrastructure controlled by TransportPCE. Each ROADM node found in the *openroadm-network*
1564 is converted into a *Photonic Media* node. The details of these T-API nodes are obtained from the
1565 *openroadm-topology*. Therefore, the external traffic ports of *Degree* and *SRG* nodes are represented
1566 with a set of Network Edge Points (NEPs) and SIPs belonging to the *Photonic Media* node and a pair of
1567 roadm-to-roadm links present in *openroadm-topology* is represented by a bidirectional *OMS* link in TAPI
1569 Additionally, T-API topology related information is stored in TransportPCE datastore in the same way as
1570 OpenROADM topology layers. When a node is connected to the controller through the corresponding *REST API*,
1571 the T-API topology context gets updated dynamically and stored.
1575 A naming nomenclature is defined to be able to map T-API and OpenROADM data.
1576 i.e., T-API_roadm_Name = OpenROADM_roadmID+T-API_layer
1577 i.e., T-API_roadm_nep_Name = OpenROADM_roadmID+T-API_layer+OpenROADM_terminationPointID
1579 Three kinds of topologies are currently implemented. The first one is the *"T0 - Multi-layer topology"*
1580 defined in the reference implementation of T-API. This topology gives an abstraction from data coming
1581 from openroadm-topology and otn-topology. Such topology may be rather complex since most of devices are
1582 represented through several nodes and links.
1583 Another topology, named *"Transponder 100GE"*, is also implemented. That latter provides a higher level
1584 of abstraction, much simpler, for the specific case of 100GE transponder, in the form of a single
1586 Lastly, the *T0 - Full Multi-layer topology* topology was added. This topology collapses the data coming
1587 from openroadm-network, openroadm-topology and otn-topology. It gives a complete view of the optical
1588 network as defined in the reference implementation of T-API
1590 The figure below shows an example of TAPI abstractions as performed by TransportPCE starting from Aluminium SR2.
1592 .. figure:: ./images/TransportPCE-tapi-abstraction.jpg
1593 :alt: Example of T0-multi-layer TAPI abstraction in TransportPCE
1595 In this specific case, as far as the "A" side is concerned, we connect TransportPCE to two xponder
1596 terminal devices at the netconf level :
1597 - XPDR-A1 is a 100GE transponder and is represented by XPDR-A1-XPDR1 node in *otn-topology*
1598 - SPDR-SA1 is an otn xponder that actually contains in its device configuration datastore two otn
1599 xponder nodes (the otn muxponder 10GE=>100G SPDR-SA1-XPDR1 and the otn switch 4x100GE => 4x100G SPDR-SA1-XPDR2)
1600 As represented on the bottom part of the figure, only one network port of XPDR-A1-XPDR1 is connected
1601 to the ROADM infrastructure, and only one network port of the otn muxponder is also attached to the
1602 ROADM infrastructure.
1603 Such network configuration will result in the TAPI *T0 - Multi-layer topology* abstraction as
1604 represented in the center of the figure. Let's notice that the otn switch (SPDR-SA1-XPDR2), not
1605 being attached to the ROADM infrastructure, is not abstracted.
1606 Moreover, 100GE transponder being connected, the TAPI *Transponder 100GE* topology will result in a
1607 single layer DSR node with only the two Owned Node Edge Ports representing the two 100GE client ports
1608 of respectively XPDR-A1-XPDR1 and XPDR-C1-XPDR1...

1626 This request builds the TAPI *Transponder 100GE* abstraction with regard to the current state of
1627 *openroadm-topology* and *otn-topology* topologies stored in OpenDaylight datastores.
1628 Its main interest is to simply and directly retrieve 100GE client ports of 100G Transponders that may

1706 T-API Connectivity & Common Services
1707 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1709 Phosphorus SR0 extends the T-API interface support by implementing the T-API connectivity Service.
1710 This interface enables a higher level controller or an orchestrator to request the creation of
1711 connectivity services as defined in the *tapi-connectivity* model. As it is necessary to indicate the
1712 two (or more) SIPs (or endpoints) of the connectivity service, the *tapi-common* model is implemented
1713 to retrieve from the datastore all the innformation related to the SIPs in the tapi-context.
1714 Current implementation of the connectivity service maps the *connectivity-request* into the appropriate
1715 *openroadm-service-create* and relies on the Service Handler to perform path calculation and configuration
1716 of devices. Results received from the PCE and the Rendererare mapped back into T-API to create the
1717 corresponding Connection End Points (CEPs) and Connections in the T-API Connectivity Context and store it
1720 This first implementation includes the creation of:
1722 - ROADM-to-ROADM tapi-connectivity service (MC connectivity service)
1723 - OTN tapi-connectivity services (OCh/OTU, OTSi/OTU & ODU connectivity services)
1724 - Ethernet tapi-connectivity services (DSR connectivity service)
1726 - RPC calls implemented
1728 - create-connectivity-service
1730 - get-connectivity-service-details
1732 - get-connection-details
1734 - delete-connectivity-service
1736 - get-connection-end-point-details
1738 - get-connectivity-service-list
1740 - get-service-interface-point-details
1742 - get-service-interface-point-list
1744 Creating a T-API Connectivity service
1745 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1747 Use the *tapi* interface to create any end-to-end connectivity service on a T-API based
1748 network. Two kind of end-to-end "optical" connectivity services are managed by TransportPCE T-API module:
1749 - 10GE service from client port to client port of two OTN Xponders (MUXPDR or SWITCH)
1750 - Media Channel (MC) connectivity service from client add/drop port (PP port of SRG) to
1751 client add/drop port of two ROADMs.
1753 As mentioned earlier, T-API module interfaces with the Service Handler to automatically invoke the
1754 *renderer* module to create all required tapi connections and cross-connection on each device
1755 supporting the service.
1757 Before creating a low-order OTN connectivity service (1GE or 10GE services terminating on
1758 client port of MUXPDR or SWITCH), the user must ensure that a high-order ODU4 container
1759 exists and has previously been configured (it means structured to support low-order otn services)
1760 to support low-order OTN containers.
1762 Thus, OTN connectivity service creation implies three steps:
1763 1. OTSi/OTU connectivity service from network port to network port of two OTN Xponders (MUXPDR or SWITCH in Photonic media layer)
1764 2. ODU connectivity service from network port to network port of two OTN Xponders (MUXPDR or SWITCH in DSR/ODU layer)
1765 3. 10GE connectivity service creation from client port to client port of two OTN Xponders (MUXPDR or SWITCH in DSR/ODU layer)
1767 The first step corresponds to the OCH-OTU4 service from network port to network port of OpenROADM.
1768 The corresponding T-API cross and top connections are created between the CEPs of the T-API nodes
1769 involved in each request.
1771 Additionally, an *MC connectivity service* could be created between two ROADMs to create an optical
1772 tunnel and reserve resources in advance. This kind of service corresponds to the OC service creation
1773 use case described earlier.
1775 The management of other OTN services through T-API (1GE-ODU0, 100GE...) is planned for future releases.
1777 Any-Connectivity service creation
1778 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1779 As for the Service Creation described for OpenROADM, the initial steps are the same:
1781 - Connect netconf devices to the controller
1782 - Create XPDR-RDM links and configure RDM-to-RDM links (in openroadm topologies)
1784 Bidirectional T-API links between xpdr and rdm nodes must be created manually. To that end, use the
1785 following REST RPCs:
1790 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/operations/transportpce-tapinetworkutils:init-xpdr-rdm-tapi-link*
1792 **Sample JSON Data**
1798 "xpdr-node": "<XPDR_OpenROADM_id>",
1799 "network-tp": "<XPDR_TP_OpenROADM_id>",
1800 "rdm-node": "<ROADM_OpenROADM_id>",
1801 "add-drop-tp": "<ROADM_TP_OpenROADM_id>"
1805 Use the following REST RPC to invoke T-API module in order to create a bidirectional connectivity
1806 service between two devices. The network should be composed of two ROADMs and two Xponders (SWITCH or MUX)
1808 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/operations/tapi-connectivity:create-connectivity-service*
1810 **Sample JSON Data**
1815 "tapi-connectivity:input": {
1816 "tapi-connectivity:end-point": [

1859 "tapi-connectivity:total-size": {
1860 "value": "<CAPACITY>",
1865 "tapi-connectivity:state": "Some state"
1869 As for the previous RPC, MC and OTSi correspond to PHOTONIC_MEDIA layer services,
1870 ODU to ODU layer services and 10GE/DSR to DSR layer services. This RPC invokes the
1871 *Service Handler* module to trigger the *PCE* to compute a path over the
1872 *otn-topology* that must contains ODU4 links with valid bandwidth parameters. Once the path is computed
1873 and validated, the T-API CEPs (associated with a NEP), cross connections and top connections will be created
1874 according to the service request and the topology objects inside the computed path. Then, the *renderer* and
1875 *OLM* are invoked to implement the end-to-end path into the devices and to update the status of the connections
1876 and connectivity service.
1879 Refer to the "Unconstrained E2E Service Provisioning" use cases from T-API Reference Implementation to get
1880 more details about the process of connectivity service creation
1882 Deleting a connectivity service
1883 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1885 Use the following REST RPC to invoke *TAPI* module in order to delete a given optical
1886 connectivity service.
1888 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/operations/tapi-connectivity:delete-connectivity-service*
1890 **Sample JSON Data**
1895 "tapi-connectivity:input": {
1896 "tapi-connectivity:service-id-or-name": "<Service_UUID_or_Name>"
1901 Deleting OTN connectivity services implies proceeding in the reverse way to their creation. Thus, OTN
1902 connectivity service deletion must respect the three following steps:
1903 1. delete first all 10GE services supported over any ODU4 to be deleted
1905 3. delete MC-OTSi supporting the just deleted ODU4
1907 T-API Notification Service
1908 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1910 In future releases, the T-API notification service will be implemented. The objective will be to write and read
1911 T-API notifications stored in topics of a Kafka server as explained later in the odl-transportpce-nbinotifications
1912 section, but T-API based.
1915 odl-transportpce-dmaap-client
1916 -----------------------------
1918 This feature allows TransportPCE application to send notifications on ONAP Dmaap Message router
1919 following service request results.
1920 This feature listens on NBI notifications and sends the PublishNotificationService content to
1921 Dmaap on the topic "unauthenticated. TPCE" through a POST request on /events/unauthenticated.TPCE
1922 It uses Jackson to serialize the notification to JSON and jersey client to send the POST request.

1925 ---------------------------------
1927 This feature allows TransportPCE application to write and read notifications stored in topics of a Kafka server.
1928 It is basically composed of two kinds of elements. First are the 'publishers' that are in charge of sending a notification to
1929 a Kafka server. To protect and only allow specific classes to send notifications, each publisher
1930 is dedicated to an authorized class.
1931 There are the 'subscribers' that are in charge of reading notifications from a Kafka server.
1932 So when the feature is called to write notification to a Kafka server, it will serialize the notification
1933 into JSON format and then will publish it in a topic of the server via a publisher.
1934 And when the feature is called to read notifications from a Kafka server, it will retrieve it from
1935 the topic of the server via a subscriber and will deserialize it.
1937 For now, when the REST RPC service-create is called to create a bidirectional end-to-end service,
1938 depending on the success or the fail of the creation, the feature will notify the result of
1939 the creation to a Kafka server. The topics that store these notifications are named after the connection type
1940 (service, infrastructure, roadm-line). For instance, if the RPC service-create is called to create an
1941 infrastructure connection, the service notifications related to this connection will be stored in
1942 the topic 'infrastructure'.
1944 The figure below shows an example of the application nbinotifications in order to notify the
1945 progress of a service creation.

1951 Depending on the status of the service creation, two kinds of notifications can be published
1952 to the topic 'service' of the Kafka server.
1954 If the service was correctly implemented, the following notification will be published :
1957 - **Service implemented !** : Indicates that the service was successfully implemented.
1958 It also contains all information concerning the new service.
1961 Otherwise, this notification will be published :
1964 - **ServiceCreate failed ...** : Indicates that the process of service-create failed, and also contains
1968 To retrieve these service notifications stored in the Kafka server :
1970 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/operations/nbi-notifications:get-notifications-process-service*
1972 **Sample JSON Data**
1978 "connection-type": "service",
1979 "id-consumer": "consumer",
1985 The field 'connection-type' corresponds to the topic that stores the notifications.
1987 Another implementation of the notifications allows to notify any modification of operational state made about a service.
1988 So when a service breaks down or is restored, a notification alarming the new status will be sent to a Kafka Server.
1989 The topics that store these notifications in the Kafka server are also named after the connection type
1990 (service, infrastructure, roadm-line) accompanied of the string 'alarm'.
1992 To retrieve these alarm notifications stored in the Kafka server :
1994 **REST API** : *POST /restconf/operations/nbi-notifications:get-notifications-alarm-service*
1996 **Sample JSON Data**
2002 "connection-type": "infrastructure",
2003 "id-consumer": "consumer",
2009 This sample is used to retrieve all the alarm notifications related to infrastructure services.
