+Sulfur SR1 extends the T-API interface support by implementing the T-API notification service. This feature
+allows TransportPCE to write and read tapi-notifications stored in topics of a Kafka server. It also upgrades
+the nbinotifications module to support the serialization and deserialization of tapi-notifications into JSON
+format and vice-versa. Current implementation of the notification service creates a Kafka topic and stores
+tapi-notification on reception of a create-notification-subscription-service request. Only connectivity-service
+related notifications are stored in the Kafka server.
+
+In comparison with openroadm notifications, in which several pre-defined kafka topics are created on nbinotification
+module instantiation, tapi-related kafka topics are created on-demand. Upon reception of a
+*create-notification-subscription-service request*, a new topic will be created in the Kafka server.
+This topic is named after the connectivity-service UUID.
+
+.. note::
+ Creating a Notification Subscription Service could include a list of T-API object UUIDs, therefore 1 topic per UUID
+ is created in the Kafka server.
+
+In the current implementation, only Connectivity Service related notification are supported.
+
+**REST API** : *POST /rests/operations/tapi-notification:get-supported-notification-types*
+
+The response body will include the type of notifications supported and the object types
+
+Use the following RPC to create a Notification Subscription Service.
+
+**REST API** : *POST /rests/operations/tapi-notification:create-notification-subscription-service*
+
+**Sample JSON Data**
+
+.. code:: json
+
+ {
+ "tapi-notification:input": {
+ "tapi-notification:subscription-filter": {
+ "tapi-notification:requested-notification-types": [
+ "ALARM_EVENT"
+ ],
+ "tapi-notification:requested-object-types": [
+ "CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE"
+ ],
+ "tapi-notification:requested-layer-protocols": [
+ "<LAYER_PROTOCOL_NAME>"
+ ],
+ "tapi-notification:requested-object-identifier": [
+ "<Service_UUID>"
+ ],
+ "tapi-notification:include-content": true,
+ "tapi-notification:local-id": "localId",
+ "tapi-notification:name": [
+ {
+ "tapi-notification:value-name": "Subscription name",
+ "tapi-notification:value": "<notification_service_name>"
+ }
+ ]
+ },
+ "tapi-notification:subscription-state": "ACTIVE"
+ }
+ }
+
+This call will return the *UUID* of the Notification Subscription service, which can later be used to retrieve the
+details of the created subscription, to delete the subscription (and all the related kafka topics) or to retrieve
+all the tapi notifications related to that subscription service.
+
+The figure below shows an example of the application of tapi and nbinotifications in order to notify when there is
+a connectivity service creation process. Depending on the status of the process a tapi-notification with the
+corresponding updated state of the connectivity service is sent to the topic "Service_UUID".

+ :alt: Example of tapi connectivity service notifications using the feature nbinotifications in TransportPCE
+
+Additionally, when a connectivity service breaks down or is restored a tapi notification alarming the new status
+will be sent to a Kafka Server. Below an example of a tapi notification is shown.
