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.

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

How to start "playing" with the Network Slice manager ??

  1. Create a template
  2. Launch an instantiation of the previous template
  3. Use any of the other options available in the APIs (presented in "APIs information" section).
