Abstract:
This draft discusses the results of a recent study on the feasibility
of using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware for virtualized
network functions in telecom equipment. In particular, it explores
the conditions under which the COTS hardware can be used in the NFV
(Network Function Virtualization) environment. The concept of silent
error probability is introduced in order to take software error or
undetectable hardware failures into account. The silent error
probability is included in both the theoretical work and the
simulation work. It is difficult to theoretically analyze the impact
of site maintenance and site failure events. Therefore, simulation
is used for evaluating the impact of these site management related
events which constitute the undesirable feature of using COTS
hardware in telecom environment.
