TransportPCE was released on the 5th of November for Si SR3. Since we release TransportPCE (SM project depending only from MRI upstream projects) before MSI projects, it led to exchange on the community, and Robert highlighted that tpce could become an MRI project. We are not so clear on the different commitments that are associated with MRI project. Gilles suggests everyone has a look to the related documentation, and we'll discuss this point again next week.
- https://docs.opendaylight.org/en/stable-phosphorus/release-process/managed-release.html
- OpenDaylight distribution, integrating TransportPCE has been released on the 11th of November in the Si SR3.
- Gilles proposed a change in the doc project to update the release note from the Jira tickets associated with Si branch.
Gilles is not sure that the parallelization of test is effective on stable/silicon branch. According to a mail from Guillaume, we may have to update Releng to make this effective. Gilles will discuss this with Guillaume.
P SR1: Gilles has backported some change from the master branch to P. However, waiting for the unlock of our stable/phosphorus branch before merging all associated changes.
According to the ODL schedule (Phosphorus SR1 Release Checklist), the branch shall be unlocked tomorrow. Christophe propose to handle P release. (Official distribution with tpce due on the 22nd of November)
An issue was raised by Shanth about the NETCONF connection between TransportPCE and their Cisco equipment. Guillaume shall provide an answer.
Code Review
Since our last meeting, almost 20 changes have been merged (T-API related, Tox/functional tests related, SONAR portMapping issues, as well as some changes from the OTN suite).
Change 97868 (Fix null Supported CEP Qual. on TAPI node creation) was merged while one comment from Guillaume had not been addressed. It was decided to open a new Jira Ticket to track the comment which could be long to manage.
Change 98531 (Bump netconf dependency to 2.0.9) could be merged.
Status on the OTN switch series:
Guillaume already merged 3 of the changes. Gilles has reworked all changes considering the comments made by Guillaume and Christophe.
Apart from ”New functional test with intermediate otn switch” for which a test needs to be renamed from 12 to 14, the other changes can be merged as they are.
T-API change suite:
Gilles and Christophe started to test « Update TAPI connectivity service on port Change ».
Javier will send his postman collection associated with T-API so that Christophe and Gilles can test it.
In the update of the connectivity-services when a state changes, all services supported by the out of service connectivity service shall be updated. We agree on this expected behavior but it seems that right now, when a photonic layer service is out of service, the upper layer services’ state is not refreshed. Javier will check this.
In “Migrate portmapping functional test to RFC8040”, Guillaume changed the url for tox tests. Gilles would prefer to wait until he has merged some of the changes of the OTN suite, prior to merge this one to limit the amount of work.
Change 98001 (Reactive renderer UT): Gilles would prefer waiting that all series on otn switch would be merged before rebasing this change, to minimize conflits to manage.
Change 97599 (Model 7.1 changes to support regenerator capabilities): Bala needs to elaborate the Jira Ticket before we discuss if something more needs to be made.
Q&A
We could not demonstrate 2x200G in Supercomputing (no available product at the time of the demonstration). A video was displayed.
OFC 2022 demonstration : Bala discussed with Andrea. Regen support on devices might shift from January which was first availability to a later date. 3x100G might be supported by some equipment at the time of OFC demonstration. UTD has still in mind to demonstrate path computation relying on GNPy
DDF will be beginning of January (https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=53609047). Subject to be presented must be submitted before the 3rd of December. Any proposal is welcome.
11/11/2021
November 11 being a public holiday in France, this TransportPCE public meeting is cancelled.
...
ODL marketing team (contacts Casey Cain Brandon Wick ) is also looking for demo to market : we could talk of the OFC demo (some elements have been publically released by UTD)
Some expectations also about 5G. OpenROADM is supposed to be a good candidate for 5G WDM backbones but this plan was not yet realized or tested yet.

Code Review
Power control support for 87.5 Ghz Spectrum width : we need to clarify the constant we use (and probably adjust their names to make it more comprehensible) when we compare them with input.getwidth to make some decision and calculate the power for Flexgrid operation.
Fix OLM timer for ROADM crossconnect power setup can be merged
Guillaume has started refactoring the code of the OLM because it was raising a lot of Spotbugs issues and warnings (Refactor OLM PowerMgmtImpl class)
Thierry refactored NBI notifications and serviceHandlerImpl to address some comments and correct some issues. He has also updated the docs on NBINotifications
Notification Stream selection update : Shweta updated NetConfTopologyListener to read notification steams (OpenROADM or Netconf) supported by device and adjust the subscription accordingly.
