New Procedures in API Backlog WG meetings

A number of improvements are under discussion with leadership team of OGW project (Henry), CAMARA Project (Markus), Product Definition WS (Helene) and TSC (Herbert). As of today, the WG adopted agreements are three:

  1. To close the agenda SEVEN DAYS BEFORE the conf. call.
    • In case a WG participant wants to include a point in the agenda (e.g., present a new API proposal), this participant shall ensure the corresponding issue is opened in Github by then.
    • Exceptional situations will be treated separately.
  2. New schedule of conf. calls
    • 2nd Thursday of the month (10-11 CET)
    • 4th Thursday of the month (15-16 CET)
  3.  Send agenda to TSC mail list, to encourage more TSC member companies to join the call and provide comments when they identify APIs which are of interest for them.

Deutsche Telekom

Device Quality Indicator
The API template is available in PR#380
Input from OGW Drop 3

  • DT presented the template, together with some supporting slides. 
  • DT clarified that it is similar to "connectivity insights", but more focus on device side. 
  • Ericsson: the naming is "device", but the input data also covers network and historical data.
  • Vodafone: the API produces relative quality levels (e.g., low, medium,...) without giving any specific quantitative information/KPIs. How many quality levels do you expect to define?
    • DT: 3 (as traffic lights) or even 5. Open for discussion.
  • DT noted the input params for first version. 
    • Telefónica: some input params seem to be output params of other ongoing APIs (e.g., connectivityInsights,...). Is there a need for operator to implement these ongoing APIs for offering the new API proposal? Or is it just a recommendation
    • DT clarified it is just a recommendation. 

ACTION: to improve and clarify the API proposal, based on discussion during the call.

Input from OGW Drop 3

  • DT presented the template, together with some supporting slides. 
  • Telefónica asked whether this API proposal is focused/limited to edge, and possible relationship with EdgeCloud repo. 
    • DT: EdgeCloud more focused on cloud nodes, whereas this API proposal focuses on interconnection point. Vodafone agrees.
  • Telefónica: what about relationship with traffic influence API?
    • DT: needs to double check when traffic goes / does not go to the Internet.
    • TIM: The traffic influence is very much mobile oriented. 
  • Telefónica: more info on API input/out params? Is there a plan to standardise the algorithm/formula for API logic, and how to process inputs on links/hops?
    • DT will provide further info. 

ACTION: to improve and clarify the API proposal, based on discussion during the call.
