Experimentation SFC Clause Samples
Experimentation SFC. Our architecture overview in Figure 14 outlines two management interfaces that constitute the experiment API for experimentation stakeholders. This will include one or more media service providers and the platform provider. In the SFC shown in Figure 37, we further elaborate on this interaction between a media component and the FLAME platform service functions involved in this dialogue. Note that the media component realization is not within the scope of the FLAME platform specification, denoted by the different colour.
Experimentation SFC. Apart from this template-oriented dialogue, we see an evolution of the interaction between the media service provider and the FLAME platform, as already outlined in Section 6.1, towards a more SLA- oriented dialogue, realized via the second interface. For this, the media component will interact with the CLMC SF of the FLAME platform, decomposed later in Section 6.6.5, via the interfaces CLMC1, CLMC2, and CLMC3. The CLMC SF is responsible for gathering information throughout the platform as well as from media components directly (the latter provided through a separate monitoring interaction between media component and CLMC) and reasoning about demand patterns that will allow for making improved judgement about fulfilling constraints of given SLAs. In the envisioned interaction at management level between CLMC and media component, information on possible SLAs is returned to the media component via the CLMC4 and CLMC5 interfaces, either proactively as a result of changes in the system or reactively based on explicit querying by the media component, including analytics information via the CLMC6 interface. Section 6.6.5 will elaborate on the necessary decomposition of the CLMC SF to ensure such evolving dialogue between media component and the CLMC SF as a whole. The result of any new SLA-level agreement between CLMC and media component is then delivered to the orchestrator SF in the form of an ETSI MANO compliant orchestration template.
