34、a virtual switch (vSwitch) is used to interconnect VNFs that share the same platform. The vSwitch is in a unique position of being at the intersection of the network and the VNFs themselves. As such the implementation and specifics of the virtual switching on the platform need to be transparent to t

35、he VNFs in the system, thus as opposed to ETSI GS NFV-IFA 002 i.8 where VNFs are requesting acceleration, vSwitch acceleration needs to be transparent to individual VNFs, and controlled from the VIM. NOTE: In the context of the present document, vSwitch may include some of the functionality of vRout

36、er as defined in ETSI GS NFV-INF 007 i.7. A flow within the vSwitch is given as the classification (locator + domain) and the port forwarding action. This definition of flow differs from what is tracked as a flow within a VNF or even within the VIM. In this context the vSwitch is only concerned with

37、 the flow information needed to perform the virtual switching functionality. Since the vSwitch finds itself in this unique position between the rest of the network and the VNFs, it is very common to add additional functionality at this point of control. In the present document, these are called in-l

38、ine functions, and are defined as network services that have been placed in-line with the switching function. Examples of in-line functions include: ACLs: Doing a more complex (usually wildcard based) classification for security and monitoring purposes Tunnel Endpoint: Pushing packets in and out of

39、a tunnel in order to traverse a physical network Address Translation/NAT: Translating packet headers to expand the address space of the network Load Balancing: Choosing from a set of destinations to forward a packet QoS: assigning a class of service for the purpose of traffic shaping, rate limiting,

40、 priority queuing, mapping of per-packet features of VNF to infrastructure These in-line functions are logically separate from the baseline virtual switching function, and as such may have their own specific definition of what constitutes a flow, and what additional classification and state informat

41、ion is tracked. In addition to above in-line functions, stateful operations such as Firewall or Load Balancer may be implemented. In contrast to in-line functions, network functions could also sit within a VNF, in which case a vSwitch may choose to classify the packet and switch it to this VNF. In o

42、rder to provide service-to-service context and to preserve the initial classification of the packet, service chaining may be used to position more complicated functions inside or outside of a VNF. ETSI ETSI GS NFV-IFA 003 V2.1.1 (2016-04) 8 The present document defines the critical aspects of vSwitc

43、h performance by treating the vSwitch as a Device Under Test (DUT), with specific configurations that are consistent across instantiations of a vSwitch on a compute platform. Existing testing and benchmarks specifications (see i.1, i.2, i.3 and i.4) should be used to measure the performance of the D

44、UT under these configurations and conditions, including measurement of metrics that support service engineering (such as the Composition Functions defined in IETF RFC 6049 i.5). The following configurations are of importance (see clause 7 for more detail and diagrams): vSwitch Physical to Physical:

45、A vSwitch configured to receive traffic from a physical interface (uplink), make a forwarding decision, and re-forward the frame back out a physical interface (uplink). vSwitch Virtual to Virtual: A vSwitch configured to receive traffic from a VNF, make a forwarding decision, and re-forward the fram

46、e back out to a VNF. vSwitch VNF Loopback: A vSwitch is configured to receive traffic from a physical interface (uplink), make a forwarding decision, and then forward the frame to a VNF. The VNF should simply loopback the frames back to the vSwitch, which should do another forwarding decision to pus

47、h the frame back out a physical interface (VNF). In each configuration, the vSwitch may have a specific set of in-line functions configured such as L2 forwarding rules, L3 forwarding rules, tunnel termination, and wildcard rules used for ACLs, QoS, and monitoring. These in-line functions define the

48、use case under test. 4.2 vSwitch Use Cases 4.2.1 Virtual Forwarding The function of a vSwitch is minimally defined as a classification based on a locator (derived from the packet header) and a domain, both of which are matched upon to deliver the packet to a destination. The domain is derived either

49、 from the packet header (for example a VLAN, or VNI) or from the ingress port on the vSwitch. The packet destination is either a port on the vSwitch, or a logical port that pushes the frames into a tunnel to send it to another vSwitch across the physical network. A vSwitch also needs to correctly handle broadcast, such that protocols such as ARP are correctly propagated between VNFs. Lastly, any packets not associated with current classification rules need to be handled in a specified default manner,
