Mission statement
The sub-team aims to define the use cases and identify and prioritise the requirements which are needed to run Network Function Virtualization (NFV) workloads on top of OpenStack. This work includes identifying functional gaps, creating blueprints, submitting and reviewing patches to the relevant OpenStack projects and tracking their completion in support of NFV.
The requirements expressed by this group should be made so that each of them have a test case which can be verified using an OpenSource implementation. This is to ensure that tests can be done without any special hardware or proprietary software, which is key for continuous integration tests in the OpenStack gate. If special setups are required which cannot be reproduced on the standard OpenStack gate, the use cases proponent will have to provide a 3rd party CI setup, accessible by OpenStack infra, which will be used to validate developments against.

Use Cases
Workload Type | Description | Characteristics | Examples | Requirements |
---|---|---|---|---|
Data plane | Tasks related to packet handing in an end-to-end communication between edge applications. |
|
|
- |
Control plane | Any other communication between network functions that is not directly related to the end-to-end data communication between edge applications. |
|
|
- |
Signal processing | All network function tasks related to digital processing |
|
|
- |
Storage | All tasks related to disk storage. |

ETSI-NFV Use Cases - High Level Description
- Use Case #1: Network Functions Virtualisation Infrastructure as a Service
This is a reasonably generic IaaS requirement.
- Use Case #2: Virtual Network Function as a Service (VNFaaS).
This primarily targets Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) devices such as access routers, enterprise firewall, WAN optimizers etc. with some Provider Edge devices possible at a later date. ETSI-NFV Performance & portability considerations will apply to deployments that strive to meet high performance and low latency considerations.
- Use Case #3: Virtual Network Platform as a Service (VNPaaS).
This is similar to #2 but at the service level. At larger scale and not at the "app" level only.
- Use Case #4: VNF Forwarding Graphs
Dynamic connectivity between apps in a "service chain".
- Use Case #5: Virtualisation of Mobile Core Network and IMS.
Primarily focusing on Evolved Packet Core appliances such as the Mobility Management Entity (MME), Serving Gateway (S-GW), etc. and the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
- Use Case #6: Virtualisation of Mobile base station
Focusing on parts of the Radio Access Network such as eNodeB's, Radio Link Control and Packet Data Convergence Protocol, etc..
- Use Case #7: Virtualisation of the Home Environment.
Similar to Use Case 2, but with a focus on virtualising residential devices instead of enterprise devices. Covers DHCP, NAT, PPPoE, Firewall devices, etc.
- Use Case #8: Virtualisation of CDNs
Content Delivery Networks focusing on video traffic delivery.
- Use Case #9: Fixed Access Network Functions Virtualisation
Wireline related access technologies.

Development Efforts
Active Bugs
Add the "nfv" tag to bugs to have them appear in these queries:
- Nova: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?field.tag=nfv
- Neutron: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bugs?field.tag=nfv
Active Blueprints
The NFV use case mappings identified below are from the perspective of higher performing use cases. Please note that there are many possible configurations of devices for each of these use cases and it is not implied that they will all need the proposed capability in the relevant blueprint.
PRIORITY - repeatedly mentioned at the BOF as blockers:
