Description of Use Case / Requirement:

Continue use case analysis for xNF License Management and derive any requirements to ONAP. The aim is for ONAP to support various types (simple, complex, vendor specific) commercial licensing models and use cases. These will be reflected as multiple, optional solutions for ONAP. The use cases we started with include xNF onboarding, PNF introduction/ONAP PnP, VNF instantiation. Further use cases to be analyzed, eg. usage monitoring for the purpose of invoicing. Based on agreed use cases review relevant ONAP xNF requirements. Possible SW contributions, eg. in SDC, as well as enhancement of ONAP architecture sequence diagrams.
