19、 The present document specifies functional requirements for both the Virtualised Infrastructure Manager (VIM) and the NFV Infrastructure (NFVI), for NFV acceleration from an infrastructure management perspective. This includes the controlling and management of acceleration resources, e.g. allocation

20、, release and discovery of acceleration resources. The present document also identifies the corresponding impacts on VIM related specifications regarding functional requirements ETSI GS NFV-IFA 010 4 and reference points (ETSI GS NFV-IFA 005 2 and ETSI GS NFV-IFA 006 3). 2 References 2.1 Normative r

In the description of these scenarios

30、, the term Network Controller ETSI GS NFV 003 1 is used as per ETSI GS NFV-INF 005 i.2 and encompasses SDN controllers. NFVIMANONFVOVNFCIVIMVNFMHostInfrastructurenetworkNetwork Attached AcceleratorNetworkControllerHW deviceVirtualisationLayerFigure 5.2-1: VNF and accelerator interconnection VNF and

31、accelerator interconnection scenario is illustrated in figure 5.2-1. For accelerators that are accessible through the network, (i.e. network-attached accelerator), SDN is used to provide connectivity between VNF and accelerators. Upon receiving a request for accelerator resource allocation, the VIM

32、shall be able to establish connectivity in the NFVI infrastructure network through a network controller to enable the communication between the VNFCI and the network attached accelerator. Note that the SDN controller being located in the VIM is one of the options described in ETSI GS NFV-EVE 005 i.5

33、. ETSI ETSI GS NFV-IFA 004 V2.1.1 (2016-04) 14 NOTE 1: Generally, the virtual network ETSI GS NFV 003 1 for communication between the VNFCI and the accelerator is not different from the virtual network for communication between VNFCIs. The network controller simply configures the forwarding rules to

34、 attach the accelerator to the internal network of the VNF. If certain constraints are needed (e.g. separate data and control channel) and provided (e.g. via request parameters, VNFD, VIM settings, etc.), the network controller should apply those constraints and configure the VNF internal networks f

35、orwarding rules accordingly.

The network controll

36、er can chain different accelerators to provide an acceleration service for a certain VNF. The function provided by the network controller is similar to the one provided in the VNF and accelerator interconnection scenario. Figure 5.2-3: Traffic offload Figure 5.2-3 is an illustration of the traffic o

37、ffload scenario. For fast path accelerator ETSI GS NFV-IFA 001 i.6, SDN is used to offload the traffic to the NFVI Network. ETSI ETSI GS NFV-IFA 004 V2.1.1 (2016-04) 15 If network acceleration needs to be performed, the VIM (see steps 1 and 2 in figure 5.2-3) instantiates an SDN application and conf

38、igures the SDN application and Network Controller with the necessary attributes to establish an adjacency, linking it to a specific VNFCI and Vn-Nf/N/Lx service. In step 3, the VNFCI requests changes through the API to the SDN application. In turn, the SDN application communicates with the Network C

39、ontroller to offload the traffic to the Infrastructure Network. The request should be validated by the Network Controller, only endpoints included in the same Vn-Nf/N/Lx service are accepted in the request. Requests to reroute to/from non-adjacent entities should be rejected. In step 4, the Network

40、Controller converts the requests into forwarding rules on the underlying network elements providing the Vn-Nf/N/Lx service. Step 4 also consists in programming the Infrastructure Network. NOTE 2: Vn-Nf/N/Lx stands for Vn-Nf/N/L2 and Vn-Nf/N/L3 as used per ETSI GS NFV-INF 005 i.2. 6 NFV acceleration

41、management impact on reference points 6.0 Introduction The impact of NFV acceleration management on VIM reference points are defined in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 005 2, ETSI GS NFV-IFA 006 3 and ETSI GS NFV-IFA 010 4. In this clause all requirements are therefore referenced from these documents to maintain co

42、nsistency and clarity. 6.1 General Impact on Or-Vi and Vi-Vnfm The general functional requirements for NFV acceleration management on Or-Vi and Vi-Vnfm are documented in clause 6.13 “Functional requirements for NFV acceleration management“ and clause 7.9 “Functional requirements for NFV acceleration

43、 management“ in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 010 4. As defined in these requirements, when NFV acceleration is applied, the NFVO shall support the capability to receive and query acceleration capability information from the VIM, as well as select a VIM that has enough available acceleration capabilities to suppo

44、rt acceleration capability requirement(s) of the VNF. The NFVO and the VNFM shall support the capability to request to the VIM the allocation and release of necessary acceleration resources to meet acceleration capability requirement(s) of the VNFs when VNF-related Resource Management in indirect mo

45、de is applicable, as well as retrieve acceleration capabilities requirement(s) of the VNF from the VNF deployment template. 6.2 Impact on Or-Vi The specific information element requirements on Or-Vi for NFV acceleration management are documented in clauses 8.3.3.2, 8.4.3.2.2, 8.4.3.7.2, 8.4.4.2.2, 8

46、.4.4.6.2, 8.15.3.4.2, 8.15.3.5.2 and 8.15.5.3.2 of ETSI GS NFV-IFA 005 2 with regard to the attribute “accelerationCapability“. The requirements mainly specify that when NFV acceleration applies for Or-Vi, if the virtualised compute resource requires resources with certain acceleration capabilities

47、(e.g. packet acceleration library). It should be noted that the cardinality can be 0, if no particular accelerationCapability is requested/provided. 6.3 Impact on Vi-Vnfm The specific information element requirements on Vi-Vnfm for NFV acceleration management are documented in clauses 8.3.2.2, 8.4.2

48、.2, 8.4.2.7, 8.4.3.2, 8.4.3.6, 8.4.13.3, and 8.4.15.2 of ETSI GS NFV-IFA 006 3 with regard to the attribute “accelerationCapability“. The requirements mainly specify that when NFV acceleration applies for Vi-Vnfm, if the virtualised compute resource requires resources with certain acceleration capab

49、ilities (e.g. packet acceleration library). It should be noted that the cardinality can be 0, if no particular accelerationCapability is requested/provided. 6.4 Impact on Nf-Vi The impact of acceleration on the Nf-Vi reference point is not addressed in the present document.
