PAP Policy Administration Point PF Policy Function 4 Background and Overview Policy is one of the key enablers for constructing fle

37、xible management and orchestration functions in the NFV MANO architecture. Assisted with policies, MANO functions may be provided with more automatic characteristics which fit in with the dynamic requirements of resource management and network service orchestration in the virtualized network environ

38、ment. Although the importance of policy management in MANO has been identified by ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001 i.2, there is not a systematic study on how to integrate policy management in NFV MANO architecture during the timeframe of releases 1 and 2. Following a model consisting of a Policy Administration

39、Point (PAP), which defines policies, and a Policy Function (PF), which evaluates policies and makes the policy decisions, the following aspects are to be investigated in the present document: The model of PAP and PF can be applied to the management of MANO policy. Particularly, a MANO entity such as

40、 the NFVO can act as both the PAP and the PF ( i.e. acting as the former on one policy and as the latter on another policy). There can be multiple sources that create policy information enforced by a PF, e.g. the policy information on scaling for a certain VNF instance can be created by either the O

41、SS/BSS, the NFVO or be pre-defined in the VNF descriptor. Potential conflicts of policy enforcement can occur during the enforcement of MANO policies distributed in different layers. From management point of view, MANO policy can apply to lifecycle management and resource orchestration. Therefore, t

42、he study in the present document is targeted to deliver recommendations on a functional framework of policy management with the analysis on the above aspects. ETSI ETSI GR NFV-IFA 023 V3.1.1 (2017-07) 8 5 Use cases 5.1 General The following use cases describe the processes involving MANO policy mana

43、gement. In clauses 5.2 to 5.7, rather than the method of designating assigned management functions to one or more MANO functional block(s), the abstracted roles are introduced (see table 5.1-1) in the use case description for improving the flexibility of functionality mapping to MANO architecture. T

44、hese roles capture the generic processes as well as the action required to be performed by different actors. How does each role be mapped to the actual MANO functional block(s) is addressed under clause 6 of key issue analysis. Table 5.1-1: Use case roles and description Role Description Policy Admi

45、nistration Point (PAP) The PAP is responsible for defining MANO policies. It is not in the scope of this document to define a jurisdiction (one administrative domain or multiple administrative domains) for a PAP. Policy Function (PF) The PF is responsible for making policy decisions, i.e. to evaluat

46、e whether the policy conditions are met and to define what is to be done when they are met. These responsibilities are referred to as “policy enforcement“ in the presentdocument. NOTE: Both the PAP and the PF can be mapped to MANO functional blocks (e.g. NFVO, VNFM, VIM) in different ways. Clause 5.

47、8 provides NFV MANO specific use cases which are applied to specific VNF/NS lifecycle management or resource management scenarios. Finally, clause 5.9 proposes the recommendation of potential requirements which are derived from the use cases. 5.2 Policy creation and transfer 5.2.1 Use case descripti

48、on This use case describes the process of creating a MANO policy, which is initiated by the PAP, along with the consequent process of transferring the created MANO policy to the PF for storage. It is assumed that policy creation occurs only inside the PAP and is not exposed to the PF. 5.2.2 Actors a
