Abstract:
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking
(SDN) are changing the way the telecommunications sector will deploy,
extend and operate their networks. These new technologies aim at
reducing the overall costs by outsourcing communication services from
specific hardware in the operators' core to server farms scattered in
datacenters (i.e. compute and storage virtualization). In addition,
the connecting networks are fundamentally affected in they way they
route, process and control traffic(i.e. network virtualization).
Virtualization is becoming a trend which is being adopted in many
scenarios for different purposes. This document overviews existing
efforts around virtualization at the IETF/IRTF, focusing on those
related to NFV and SDN. These efforts are mapped to the most
relevant architectures being defined outside IETF, namely at the ETSI
NFV ISG, the ETSI MEC ISG and the ONF.
The main goal of this document is to serve as a survey of the
different efforts that have been taken and are currently taking place
at IETF and IRTF in regards to network virtualization, putting them
into context considering efforts by other SDOs, and identifying
current gaps that can be tackled at IETF or researched at the IRTF.
