18、in direct citation. Introduction There are many technological options available to implement paths through the Network Function Virtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI) to realize Virtual Network Forwarding Graphs (VNFFG) or Service Function Chains (SFC). In the present document, paths can be composed o

19、f physical and virtual links (including wide-area network links connecting locations and their NFVI), physical and virtual switches and routers, and other virtual network functions (VNF). VNFs are composed of one or more VNF Components (VNFC). VNFC are synonymous with Virtual Machines (VM) or OS con

20、tainers (OSC) as in ETSI GS NFV 003 i.21. A VM or OSC is referred to with the general term virtualization container in the present document. The present document is motivated by the design needs of many NFV actors. Service Providers and NFVI Operators need to select the best alternatives in order to

21、 implement cost-effective services. NFVI Providers and VNF Providers need to understand the preferred alternatives so they can support them efficiently. What configurations work well in combination, and possibly enhance performance? How can the actors above begin to objectively evaluate the various

22、alternatives? These questions are to be evaluated before NFV deployments, and re-evaluated as new technology alternatives emerge. The present document recognizes the need to evaluate the various path-implementation alternatives operating together, and begins by providing a high level test plan. Ulti

23、mately, the results from tests comparing the alternatives may influence the architectural choices when implementing the NFV framework. ETSI ETSI GR NFV-TST 004 V1.1.1 (2017-05) 5 1 Scope The present document provides guidelines for test plans that assess different approaches to defining SDN Applicat

24、ions, different ways of arranging and federating SDN Controllers, and arrangements of network switching/forwarding functions (both physical and virtual) to create the various path-implementations between and among NS Endpoints and VNFs. These guidelines support development of detailed test plans, an

25、d ultimately influence the NFV framework (when testers share their results from testing arrangements encouraged by these guidelines). The test plan guidelines should be sufficiently abstract to include all envisioned possibilities, and will also pursue the details of technologies of interest. Althou

26、gh the primary emphasis of testing is the performance and benchmarking of systems composed of the components above, the attempts to combine different protocols and functions will undoubtedly uncover combinations which are non-interoperable, and these should be noted. 2 References 2.1 Normative refer

43、metrics to measure, where applicable. It is also helpful to illustrate the packet headers at key points in the SUT, especially when overlay networking and encapsulation is used.

48、he study. This experiment was conducted using mininet as the VIM. mininet uses process virtualization to create network resources (network namespaces) and hosts, which is similar to Linux containers but with fewer features. As a result VNF and Path Instantiation times are extremely fast with mininet

49、, but all aspects of mininet share the compute environment with their host. The steps to establish the figure A.2 path with OVS and ODL controller are shown below as an example of the procedure (which could be scripted for automation, as mentioned in clause 4, item 7): The line below adds the features to the ODL controller, once started (with ./bin/karaf), and completion of this step comprises the SDN Controller Instantiation Time: opendaylight-userrootfeature:install odl-restconf-all odl-mds
