This epic outlines the task breakdown for the reference implementation of a VOLTHA Adapter for Edgecore ASFvOLT16 disaggregated virtual OLT.
The ASFvOLT16 is designed in conformance with the AT&T Open XGS-PON 1RU OLT specification contributed to the OCP Telco Working Group and is based on Broadcom StrataDNX switch and PON MAC SOC silicon, and offering 16 ports of 10G XGS-PON or NG-PON2 with four QSFP28 ports.
Acceptance Criteria
===============
- gRPC / protobuf interface between VOLTHA adapter and OLT based. This interface will be based on the open Broadcom BAL api.
- No VM/Container/shim between VOLTHA adapter and the target OLT.
- Open BAL api used directly in VOLTHA adapter (in protobuf form). Code on the OLT that translates from gRPC to BAL api can be open (since BAL api is open).
- Since Maple SDK API is closed, VOLTHA adapter will use gRPC to talk to the ONTs. Closed source code on the OLT would translate between gRPC and Maple SDK. This code will be available as a binary that can be downloaded from CORD github.
- The code in VOLTHA (which include the adapter) will be open-source.
