25、rdware and the virtualisation layer. This reference point is the aspect of this framework reference point presented to hypervisors by the servers and storage of the compute domain. It is the execution environment of the server/storage. Vl-Ha/Nr Execution Environment The framework architecture 2 show

26、s a general reference point between the infrastructure hardware and the virtualisation layer. While the infrastructure network has hardware, it is often the case that networks are already layered (and therefore virtualised) and that the exact choice of network layering may vary without a direct impa

27、ct on NFV. The infrastructure architecture treats this aspect of the Vi-Ha reference point as internal to the infrastructure network domain. Ha/CSr-Ha/Nr Traffic Interface 14 This is the reference point between the infrastructure network domain and the servers/storage of the compute domain. External

28、 Nf-Vi Nf-Vi/C Management, and Orchestration Interface 11 This is the reference point between the management and orchestration agents in compute domain and the management and orchestration functions in the virtual infrastructure management (VIM). It is the part of the Nf-Vi interface relevant to the

29、 compute domain. 4.4.1 Elements of the Compute Domain The compute domain consists of consists of a server, network interface controller (NIC), accelerator, storage, rack, and any associated components within the rack including the physical aspects of a networking switch and all other physical compon

30、ents within NFVI. For example a blade server including a built-in Ethernet switch - see figure 4.

The minimum su

32、pport from hardware shall be to: - copy packets or frames; - accurately time-stamp the copies, using a clock synchronized to a source of appropriate precision (e.g. IEEE 1588 i.4); and - forward the time-stamped copies to a configured destination. Once the precise time-stamps have been added in hard

33、ware, all other instrumentation and diagnosis functions can then proceed as virtualised functions without strict time constraints, e.g. filtering headers, removing payloads, local analysis, forwarding for remote analysis, logging, storage, etc. SeA.2 It should be possible to interrogate whether part

34、icular network interface hardware provides hardware time-stamping facilities.Key Concept proposal - A NFV service is composed of different types (1 or more) resource pools. Each pool contains a Class of Service that has specific types of resources that are composed to deliver a specific subset of pe

35、rformance. ETSI ETSI GS NFV-INF 003 V1.1.1 (2014-12) 27Figure 14: NFV types of services 6.8 Operations & Management (E2E Requirements) OaM.4 As part of VNF life cycle management, the orchestration functionality shall be able to interact with other systems (when they exist) managing the NFV infrastru

36、cture comprised of compute/storage machines, network software/hardware and configurations and/or software on these devices. OaM.5 The orchestration functionality shall be able to use standard information models that describes how to manage the VNF life cycle. Information models describe the deployme

37、nt and operational attributes of VNFs, for example: - Deployment attributes and environment of a VNF e.g. VM images, required computational and storage resources and network reachability. 6.8.1 Statistics Collection - Objectives in NFV Framework Statistics collection is important for supporting NFV

38、management and orchestration functions, especially in resource allocation when instantiating VNFs and global resource management functions. NFV-MANO performs resource allocation (compute, storage and network), as well as interconnection setup. A VNFD (virtual network function descriptor) describes t

39、he resource requirements of the VNF, and it is primarily used by the VNFM in the process of instantiating a VNF on the NFVI (NFV infrastructure), and for other life cycle management functions. The information provided in the VNFD is also used by the NFVO to manage and orchestrate network services, a

40、nd virtualized resources across multiple VIMs. VNFD also contains connectivity, interface and KPIs (key performance indicators) requirements that can be used by NFV-MANO to establish appropriate virtual links within the NFV Infrastructure between VNF instances, or between a VNF instance and the lega

41、cy network. NFV-MANO keeps track of attributes of resource pools so that it can allocate the resources which can meet the VNFD described requirements, ideally in an optimal manner. NFV global resource management performs resource discovery, resource optimization, access control, policy management, a

42、uditing, and fault management. ETSI ETSI GS NFV-INF 003 V1.1.1 (2014-12) 28Statistics collection enables the hierarchy of management and orchestration functions to monitor that the resource pools (compute, storage and network) are functioning properly and are conforming to their specifications and e

43、xpected performance and quality. In addition, statistics collection on VNFs provides additional insight into whether the VNFs perform as expected and whether relevant SLAs are adhered to. Some of the key performance indicators and key quality indicators which NFV-MANO uses are expected to be updated

44、 constantly by collected statistics. Examples of such indicators include average, maximum, and minimum values of throughput and latencies for certain VNFs or known functions, memory usage, power consumption of resources, number of active virtual machines running on a physical server, etc. 6.8.2 Prop

45、osed Hierarchy of resources and management software for statistics collection The NFV management and orchestration architecture includes a hierarchy of resources, virtualisation layer, VNFs, and corresponding managers and management systems. The managers are responsible for collecting the relevant s

46、tatistics. Table 5 shows the resources and VNFs as well as the corresponding managers and the statistics collected and maintained.

48、9 Energy Efficiency (E2E Requirements) EE.1 The NFV framework shall support the capability to place only VNF components that can be moved or placed in a sleep state on a particular resource (compute, storage) so that resource can be placed into a power conserving state. EE.2 The NFV framework shall

49、be able to provide mechanisms to enable an authorized entity to control and optimize energy consumption on demand, by e.g. scheduling and placing VNF instances on specific resources, including hardware and/or hypervisors, placing unused resources in energy saving mode, and managing power states as needed. EE.3 The NFV framework shall provide an information model that defines the timeframe required for a compute resource, hypervisor and/or VNFC (e.g. VM) to return to a normal operating mode after leaving a sp
