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.

Previous meetings

Use Cases

Workload Type Description Characteristics Examples Requirements
Data plane Tasks related to packet handing in an end-to-end communication between edge applications.
  • Intensive I/O requirements - potentially millions of small VoIP packets per second per core
  • Intensive memory R/W requirements
  • CDN cache node
  • Router
  • IPSec tunneller
  • Session Border Controller - media relay function
-
Control plane Any other communication between network functions that is not directly related to the end-to-end data communication between edge applications.
  • Less intensive I/O and R/W requirements than data plane, due to lower packets per second
  • More complicated transactions resulting in (potentially) higher CPU load per packet.
  • PPP session management
  • Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing
  • Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) authentication in a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) network function
  • Session Border Controller - SIP signaling function
  • IMS core functions (S-CSCF / I-CSCF / BGCF)
-
Signal processing All network function tasks related to digital processing
  • Very sensitive to CPU processing capacity.
  • Delay sensitive.
  • Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) decoding
  • Encoding in a Cloud-Radio Access Network (C-RAN) Base Band Unit (BBU)
  • Audio transcoding in a Session Border Controller
-
Storage All tasks related to disk storage.
  • Varying disk, SAN, or NAS, I/O requirements based on applications, ranging from low to extremely high intensity.
  • Logger
  • Network probe
