26、llection of systems and networks operated by a single organization or administrative authority NOTE: This definition is from ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001 i.2. affinity of virtualised network resources: persistent policy that forces Virtual Links (VLs) to share the same physical connectivity NOTE 1: “Persiste
27、nt“ is used here and in the following definitions to indicate that the affinity remains in effect until a change is requested by the consumer. NOTE 2: This may be stipulated to ensure the same transmission characteristics (such as delay) for VLs. anti-affinity of virtualised network resources: persi
28、stent policy that forces Virtual Links (VLs) to not share any physical connectivity NOTE: This may be stipulated to ensure that VLs do not fail at the same time. area affinity: policy that qualifies an affinity (or anti-affinity) policy with respect to location restrictions EXAMPLE: The anti-affinit
29、y policy of having virtualised compute resources on different compute nodes can be further restricted by mandating to locate the compute nodes on different shelves, racks, bays, sites, geographic areas or similar restriction. NOTE: Anti-affinity can be used to support availability, survivability and
30、 performance needs with respect to virtualised resources. C Central Processing Unit (CPU): device in the compute node that provides the primary container interface Composite Network Service (CNS): Network Service containing at least one Network Service compute domain: domain within the NFVI that inc
31、ludes servers and storage compute node: abstract definition of a server consumable virtualised resource: virtualised resource that can be requested for reservation and/or allocation NOTE: Virtualised resources comprise compute, network and storage. EXAMPLE: A volume or object based virtual storage.
32、D to H Void. ETSI ETSI GS NFV 003 V1.3.1 (2018-01) 7 I infrastructure domain: administrative domain that provides virtualised infrastructure resources such as compute, network, and storage or a composition of those resources via a service abstraction to another Administrative Domain, and is responsi
33、ble for the management and orchestration of those resources NOTE: This definition is from ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001 i.2. infrastructure network domain: domain within the NFVI that includes all networking that interconnects compute/storage infrastructure NOTE: It pre-exists the realization of VNFs. infrast

(Based on the definition of Measurement in 5, as cited in 6) metric: standard definition of a quantity, produced in an assessment of performance an
36、d/or reliability of the network, which has an intended utility and is carefully specified to convey the exact meaning of a measured value NOTE: This definition is consistent with that of Performance Metric in 3 and 4. EXAMPLE: Packet transfer performance or reliability of a network. multi-tenancy: f
37、eature where physical,virtual or service resources are allocated in such a way that multiple tenants and their computations and data are isolated from and inaccessible by each another NOTE: This definition has been specialized from the term “multi-tenancy“ as defined in Recommendation ITU-T Y.3500 i
38、.1. N Nested Network Service (NNS): Network Service that is part of a composite Network Service NOTE: A Composite Network Service is a Network Service containing at least one Network Service. network controller: functional block that centralizes some or all of the control and management functionalit

40、etwork infrastructure that has well-defined external interfaces and well-defined functional behaviour NOTE: In practical terms, a Network Function is today often a network node or physical appliance. ETSI ETSI GS NFV 003 V1.3.1 (2018-01) 8 Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV): principle of separat
41、ing network functions from the hardware they run on by using virtual hardware abstraction Network Functions Virtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI): totality of all hardware and software components that build up the environment in which VNFs are deployed NOTE: The NFV-Infrastructure can span across sev
42、eral locations, e.g. places where data centres are operated. The network providing connectivity between these locations is regarded to be part of the NFV-Infrastructure. NFV-Infrastructure and VNF are the top-level conceptual entities in the scope of Network Function Virtualization. All other compon
43、ents are sub-entities of these two main entities. Network Functions Virtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI) components: NFVI hardware resources that are not field replaceable, but are distinguishable as COTS components at manufacturing time Network Functions Virtualisation Infrastructure Node (NFVI-Nod
44、e): physical devices deployed and managed as a single entity, providing the NFVI Functions required to support the execution environment for VNFs Network Function Virtualisation Infrastructure Point of Presence (NFVI-PoP): N-PoP where a Network Function is or could be deployed as Virtual Network Fun

46、including those in NFV-MANO category as well as others that interwork with NFV-MANO), data repositories used by these functional blocks, and reference points and interfaces through which these functional blocks exchange information for the purpose of managing and orchestrating NFV Network Functions
47、Virtualisation Orchestrator (NFVO): functional block that manages the Network Service (NS) lifecycle and coordinates the management of NS lifecycle, VNF lifecycle (supported by the VNFM) and NFVI resources (supported by the VIM) to ensure an optimized allocation of the necessary resources and connec
48、tivity Network Interface Controller (NIC): device in a compute node that provides a physical interface with the infrastructure network network operator: operator of an electronics communications network or part thereof. An association or organization of such network operators also falls within this
49、category (as defined in 1) Network Point of Presence (N-PoP): location where a Network Function is implemented as either a Physical Network Function (PNF) or a Virtual Network Function (VNF) Network Service: composition of Network Function(s) and/or Network Service(s), defined by its functional and behavioural specification NOTE: The Network Service contributes to the behaviour of the higher layer service, which is characterized by at least performance, dependability, and security specifications.
