Jul 16 – Feb 18, Technical Lead, Customer: AT&T Project: Open Contrail

Domain 2.0 is a transformative initiative, both internal and external, to enable AT&T network services and infrastructure to be used, provisioned, and orchestrated as is typical of cloud services in data centers. It is characterized by a rich set of APIs that manage, manipulate, and consume services on-demand and in near real time. Domain 2.0 seeks to transform AT&T’s networking businesses from their current state to a future state where they are provided in a manner very similar to cloud computing Services.

The Open Contrail Controller is a logically centralized but physically distributed Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller that is responsible for providing the management, control, and analytics functions of the virtualized network.

The Open Contrail vRouter is a forwarding plane (of a distributed router) that runs in the hypervisor of a virtualized server. It extends the network from the physical routers and switches in a data center into a virtual overlay network hosted in the virtualized servers (the concept of an overlay network is explained in more detail in section 1.4 below). The OpenContrail vRouter is conceptually similar to existing commercial and open source vSwitches such as for example the Open vSwitch (OVS) but it also provides routing and higher layer services (hence vRouter instead of vSwitch).

The OpenContrail Controller provides the logically centralized control plane and management plane of the system and orchestrates the vRouters.

Jan 14 – Dec 2014, Technical Lead, Customer: AT&T Project: PST, MST

Production Support Tool(PST) is basically a GUI based tool designed to enhance data access requiring less effort and maps different levels of access to different groups based on the relevant views needed. Prior to creation, users would fire queries directly against the production DB and post XML straight to downstream queues. This would result in reduced DB performance and increased risk of human error, since there was no validation or tracking being performed. PST is designed to provide an easy-to-use

GUI environment that has access to production MIRROR DB, and provide a single location to perform resends, completions, and XML posts with all proper validations in place. Production support tool is used to resolve the fallout of orders which are placed in Order Management System.

MST is data synchronization tool, which to used to sync the data between OMS and ENABLER by resolving the OOS (OUT-OF-SYNC) issues. OOS means missing some attributes for an order in between applications. MST runs reconciliation scripts to identify OOS data and collects all the data and uploads to MST db. MST has certain rules - called as Identification Rules, to identify the reason for OOS for particular order. MST picks each record and run against each identification rule and separates (groups) the records based on ERRORCODE. ERRORCODE is nothing but a category which the record belongs to. Based on ERRORCODES have set of resolution rules are applied on the records and resolves the errors by performing updates in corresponding databases. The project involves of providing Maintenance and Enhancement support to web based applications PST and MST. These are internal to AT&T and used by OMS Tier 2 Fallout, OMC team. TCS has been doing enhancements to increase stability and performance of the tools.

Designing and developing Macro Set for ZTE Soft switch for Wire Line Provisioning. SAS/IL receives Request Format from upstream systems, all the validations are included in the BST (Business Service Tool) and depending on the parameters (Macro Set prepares the MML command) fires the respective MML command to the switch. After firing the MML the response is back updated to the upstream systems.

The MDS/SAS receives service requests generated by the Service Management level applications, logs the requests, handles the request queues, translates the requests into a network element control language (MML: Man Machine Language) and delivers these commands automatically to the network elements.

The MDS/SAS receives Service requests from client systems. A service request may concern, for example, creating a subscriber, provisioning a new service to an already existing subscriber, temporarily disconnecting a subscriber and so on. The service request contains the necessary subscriber identification (directory number, IMSI number etc.) and subscriber service information includes like client system serial number, requested, execution date and priority and so on. The output of this process is finally returned to the requesting application together with the necessary response status. The MDS/SAS provides high security and reliability while performing all these tasks.

TTSL is using the Lucent HLR for provisioning. The Lucent HLR has two interfaces ESM and DG understanding two protocols CORBA and LDAP respectively. To distribute the provisioning traffic evenly among the two interfaces the creation and deletion work orders are sent through ESM and the display and modification LDAP queries are sent through DG. The creation and deletion work orders understood by the ESM are provided by the vendor. Java code has been built using CORBA to create the work orders and send it to the HLR. Similarly, the LDAP queries for display and

modification provided by the vendor were built in JAVA using LDAP.
