High Level Functionality

VNFM

  1. VNF Catalog
  2. Basic life-cycle of VNF (define/start/stop/undefine)
  3. Performance and Health monitoring of deployed VNFs
  4. Auto Healing VNFs based on Policy
  5. Facilitate initial configuration of VNF

NFVO

  1. Templatized end-to-end Network Service deployment using decomposed VNFs
  2. VNF placement policy – ensure efficient placement of VNFs
  3. VNFs connected using a SFC - described in a VNF Forwarding Graph Descriptor
  4. VIM Resource Checks and Resource Allocation
  5. Ability to orchestrate VNFs across Multiple VIMs

Use Cases

vCE

Tacker API can be used by SP's OSS / BSS or a NFV Orchestrator to deploy VNFs in SP's network to deliver agile network services for remote Customer networks

vCPE

Tacker API can be used by SP's OSS / BSS or a NFV Orchestrator to manage OpenStack enabled remote CPE devices to deploy VNFs to locally provide network services at customer site.

vPE

Tacker API can be used by SP's OSS / BSS or a NFV Orchestrator to deploy VNFs within SP's network to virtualize existing network services into a Virtual Function.


TOSCA for NFV

Tacker uses TOSCA for VNF meda-data definition. Within TOSCA Tacker used NFV profile schema,

Tacker + SFC (Service Function Chaining)

The proposal to enable SFC for Tacker is captured in these slides,
