Abstract:
The introduction of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in carrier-
grade networks promises improved operations in terms of flexibility,
efficiency, and manageability. NFV is an approach to combine network
and compute virtualizations together. However, network and compute
resource domains expose different virtualizations and programmable
interfaces. In [I-D.unify-nfvrg-challenges] we argued for a joint
compute and network virtualization by looking into different compute
abstractions.
In this document we analyze different approaches to orchestrate a
service graph with transparent network functions relying on a public
telecommunication network and ending in a commodity data center. We
show that a recursive compute and network joint virtualization and
programming has clear advantages compared to other approaches with
separated control between compute and network resources. In
addition, the joint virtualization will have cost and performance
advantages by removing additional virtualization overhead. The
discussion of the problems and the proposed solution is generic for
any data center use case; however, we use NFV as an example.
