NEST
Network Emlice Subnet Template
Network Slice Template instantiated from GST with concrete operator-specific technical parameters.
Technical Explanation
A NEST is a concrete, machine-readable instantiation of a Generic Slice Template (GST). It maps the high-level business attributes into precise 3GPP parameters (5QI, ARP, Session-AMBR, S-NSSAI, DSCP markings) ready for immediate deployment by the NSMF orchestration engine.
Key Functions
- Concrete, machine-readable parameterization of a Generic Slice Template
- Maps business requirements into concrete 3GPP 5QI, ARP, and AMBR parameters
- Injected into automated CI/CD orchestration pipelines for zero-touch slice setup
