Abstract:
Network edge appliances such as subscriber termination, firewalls,
tunnel switching, intrusion detection, and routing are currently
provided using dedicated network function hardware. As network
function is migrated from dedicated hardware platforms into a
virtualized environment, a set of use cases with application specific
resilience requirements begin to emerge.
These use cases and requirements cover a broad range of capabilities
and objectives, which will require detailed investigation and
documentation in order to identify relevant architecture, protocol
and procedure solutions to ensure reliance of user services using
virtualized functions.
This document provides an analysis of the key reliability
requirements for applications and functions that may be hosted within
a virtualized environment. These NFV engineering requirements are
based on a variety of uses cases and goals , which include
reliability scalability, performance, operation and automation.
Note that this document is not intended to provide or recommend
protocol solutions.
