Welcome to the tng-slice-mngr wiki!

Here we document the Network Slice Manager module belonging to SONATA (by 5GTango), both in terms of its internal design and usage.

The Slice Manager has two objects to deal with. On one hand, there is the Network Slice Template and on the other hand, the network Slice Instantiation. The first component defines a set of services that might be deployed into a part of the network later on by using an instantiation of that template through a Network Slice Instantiation object.

About the Network Slice Manager...

Please reffer to the Architecture and Internal Processes page for further informationa bout this component

APIs information

To understand better how this component work, check the different API options for each one of the two objects:

Component Usage Modes

This component allows you to work with an emulator of the SP (no SP is necessary), please reffer to the "About-the-work-modes..." page for further information.

Using the Network Slice Manager

Go to the "How to use this component" page to learn how to use and "play" with the possible commands of this component.

Intra-communication with the other SONATA modules

This component is an internal module of SONATA, in order to offer its features goes through the central SONATA module, the Gatekeeper. To understand how the communication between this two components work when a network slice is instantiated, please reffer to the "Asynchronous Communication"
