This blog is a continuation of the previous blog that explains deployment details (using TOSCA/HEAT templates) of various services that are part of vCPE blueprint in ONAP.
BTW, our ONAP Demystified book downloads and Amazon sales have crossed 400 as of today! Thanks for the tremendous interest. However, we haven't been doing so well on our ONAP merchandise. The merchandise, 100% pure-play ONAP without any Aarna branding, includes t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, mugs, water bottles and much more. Feel free to buy & hopefully expense some of these items! There's minimal profit on each item and all proceeds go to the artist.
In this blog, we will cover 2 other services that are part of vCPE use case -- namely, vG MUX Infra service and vBNG service.
vG MUX Infra Service
vG_MUX provides the MUX functionality across all the links that are terminating at the Virtual Gateway.
The composition of this service is as shown below.
This service is modeled as a combination of TOSCA and HEAT templates, and the relationship is as shown:
The TOSCA model definitions file for this service can be found here.
The Environment file (base_vcpe_vgmux.env) for this service looks as follows:

Note the details about the networks for this service, such as private IP of bng_gmux link (10.1.x.x) and private IP networks of mux_gw (10.1.x.x, 10.0.x.x and 10.5.x.x) as well as the VNF details, including the pointer to the VPP source repo, since this VNF is based on VPP open source initiative.
Let us examine some of the interesting parts of HEAT template file (base_vcpe_vgmux.yaml) for this service. Complete copy of the HEAT template file can be found here.

vBNG MUX Service
This service consists of 2 VL’s connecting the associated VNF’s, as shown below.
This service is modelled as follows using TOSCA (Green) and HEAT (Orange) templates:

Note the virtual link details of bng_gmux (10.1.x.x) and brgemu_bng (10.3.x.x), which are the 2 virtual links connecting BRG_Emulator to BNG_MUX and BNG_MUX to VG_MUX, and also two other network interfaces of BNG_MUX to connect to CPE_SIGNAL network (10.4.x.x), and lastly to ONAP OAM network (10.0.x.x).
Let us look at some of the interesting parts of HEAT template (base_vcpe_vbng.yaml) for this service. A full copy of the HEAT template file can be found here.

Another interesting artifact is the VF Modules metadata, which is shown below. Note a couple of interesting observations:
The min and max vf_module_in stances is 1, which means this service will not be scaled out.
