General VNF requirements for using the bulk transmission mechanism to transfer bulk monitoring data to ONAP/DCAE to support 5G/PNF

Event-driven bulk transfer of monitoring data from an xNF to ONAP/DCAE. A micro-service will listen for 'FileReady' VES events sent from an xNF via the VES collector. Once files become available the collector micro-service will fetch them using protocol such as FTPES (committed) or HTTPS. The collected data files are published internally on a DMaaP Data Router (DR) feed.

The xNF should support followings:

• FileReady VES event
• File transferring protocol, such as FTPES (committed) or SFTP.
