A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Network Function Virtualization Working Group of the IETF. Title : Verification of NFV Services : Problem Statement and Challenges Authors : Myung-Ki Shin Ki-Hyuk Nam Sangheon Pack Seungik Lee Ramki Krishnan Tae-wan Kim Filename : draft-shin-nfvrg-service-verification-04.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2015-10-04 Abstract: NFV relocates network functions from dedicated hardware appliances to generic servers, so they can run in software. However, incomplete or inconsistent configuration of virtualized network functions (VNF) and forwarding graph (FG, aka service chain) could cause break-down of the supporting infrastructure. In this sense, verification is critical for network operators to check their requirements and network properties are correctly enforced in the supporting infrastructures. Recognizing these problems, we discuss key properties to be checked on NFV-enabled services. Also, we present challenging issues related to verification in NFV environments.
