    Hi 
    Are there particular set of APIs that can be used by Service Orchestration Layer that does SOM to Integrate with the Network Abstraction layer?
    It seems the TM Forum open APIs TMF640 (Service Activation and Configuration API), TMF641 (Service Ordering Management API) should be used by the service orchestration layer.
    What kind of API the service orchestration layer uses to integrate with the Network Abstraction Layer?

    Regards
    Bhabani

    Resource ochestration should expose:
    • TMF664 Resource Function Activation and Configuration API
    • TMF702 Resource Activation
    • TMF639 Resource Inventory API
    • TMF634 Resource Catalog Management
    See the recent ODA 5G Management Implementation Guidelines for an overall view.

    see also

    which explains the context for TMF 909 NaaS  the integration options including those cited by Vance in earlier post ( which are the preferred approach)
