SliceDesc

Description

SliceDesc describes an End-to-End (E2E) 3GPP slice.


PLMN field of tag plmn

The PLMN of the slice composed of the concatenation of the MNC and MCC in five digits. Six digit PLMNs are not yet supported.

Kind: PLMNString
Tag: plmn
Manager Tag: plmn
Data Type: string
Optional: False


DNN field of tag dnn

The DNN (Data Network Name) of the slice, equivalent to APN (Access Point Name) in the context of LTE. Supports only alphanumeric characters with some hyphens in between with maximum 63 characters.

Kind: NameTag
Tag: dnn
Manager Tag: dnn
Data Type: string
Optional: False


NetworkMode field of tag network-mode

The NetworkMode associated with this 3GPP E2E slice. It should be defined in capital letters format, but the deprecated lowercase format is also supported, which would be automatically converted to uppercase.

Kind: SessionType
Tag: network-mode
Manager Tag: network-mode
Data Type: Alias
Enumeration: IPv4, IPv6, IPv4v6, Ethernet, Unstructured, IPV4, IPV6, IPV4V6, UNSTRUCTURED, ETHERNET
Optional: False


IPv4Range field of tag ipv4-range

The IPv4Range of addresses for this 3GPP E2E slice. If the NetworkMode is IPv4 or IPv4v6, this field is mandatory.

Kind: *string
Tag: ipv4-range
Manager Tag: ipv4-range
Data Type: Pointer
Format: ipv4-range
Optional: True


IPv6Range field of tag ipv6-range

The IPv6Range of addresses for this 3GPP E2E slice. If the NetworkMode is IPv6 or IPv4v6, this field is mandatory.

Kind: *string
Tag: ipv6-range
Manager Tag: ipv6-range
Data Type: Pointer
Format: ipv6-range
Optional: True


ServiceType field of tag service-type

The ServiceType of the slice, which could be defined in the string format of the standard or the integer format. The valid string values are "eMBB", "URLLC", "MIoT", "V2X", "HMTC", and "HDLLC".

Kind: SST
Tag: service-type
Manager Tag: service-type
Data Type: Alias
Optional: False


Differentiator field of tag differentiator

The Differentiator ID of the slice. This value is preferred to be in hexadecimal format, but could be any numerical non-negative value. The value 0x000000 is reserved for the default slice and 0xFFFFFF for the no slice selection according to the 3GPP specifications. If used with the YAML file, you could prefix the value with 0x to indicate hexadecimal format. Unfortunately, the JSON format does not support this notation, and you need to make sure the value is indeed properly translated to decimal.

Kind: SD
Tag: differentiator
Manager Tag: differentiator
Data Type: integer
Optional: False
