A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Virtualized Network Function (VNF) Pool Problem Statement Authors : Ning Zong Linda Dunbar Melinda Shore Diego Lopez Filename : draft-zong-vnfpool-problem-statement-02.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2014-01-13 Abstract: There is a trend to implement network services by using a group of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) called a VNF set. A VNF set can offer benefits like flexible service provisioning. A VNF set also introduces additional points of failure, and therefore poses additional challenges on reliability. This document overviews the problems related to the reliability of a VNF set. A VNF pooling architecture is also briefly introduced as candidate solution to address the problems.
