Announcing the Aether 1.6 Release

[Scott Baker]

Open Networking Foundation is pleased to announce the release of Aether 1.6. 

The full release notes are available online. The major features are listed below:

• Three Levels of Quality of Service (QoS) Control
• Per-Device, Maximum Bit Rate.
• Per-Device by Application, allowing the MBR to be limited for the flow between a pair of Device and Application
• Per-Slice, allowing the aggregate MBR of all devices in a slice to be limited
• Application Filtering
• Five user-specified applications may be allowed or denied per slice
• An explicit "allow all" or "deny all" may be specified for the default behavior of a slice
• UPF Pools
• Aether allows a set of UPFs to be created at customer onboarding, and those UPFs may later be associated with slices as the customer creates additional slices
  
• Monitoring
  
•  Site health statistics are collected by Aether using the Prometheus tool set, and are fetched on demand by the GUI

The Aether Operations Team has put together detailed release notes at https://docs.aetherproject.org/1.6.0/release/1.6.html.
