ETSI ETSI GS NFV-REL 002 V1.1.1 (2015-09)5 1 Scope The present document describes a study of how todays Cloud/Data Centre techniques can be adapted to achieve scalability, efficiency, and reliability in NFV environments. These techniques are desi

18、gned for managing shared processing state with low-latency and high-availability requirements. They are shown to be application-independent that can be applied generally, rather than have each VNF use its own idiosyncratic method for meeting these goals. Although an individual VNF could manage its o

19、wn scale and replication, the techniques described here require a single coherent manager, such as an orchestrator, to manage the scale and capacity of many disparate VNFs. Todays IT/Cloud Data Centres exhibit very high availability levels by limiting the amount of unique state in a single element a

20、nd creating a virtual network function from a number of small replicated components whose functional capacity can be scaled in and out by adjusting the running number of components. Reliability and availability for these type of VNFs is provided by a number of small replicated components. When an in

21、dividual component fails, little state is lost and the overall VNF experiences minimal change in functional capacity. Capacity failures can be recovered by instantiating additional components. The present document considers a variety of use cases, involving differing levels of shared state and diffe

22、rent reliability requirements; each case is explored for application-independent ways to manage state, react to failures, and respond to increased load. The intent of the present document is to demonstrate the feasibility of these techniques for achieving high availability for VNFs and provide guida

23、nce on Best Practices for scale out system architectures for the management of reliability. As such, the architectures described in the present document are strictly illustrative in nature. Accordingly, the scope of the present document is stated as follows: Provide an overview of how such architect

24、ures are currently deployed in Cloud/Data Centres. Describe various categories of state and how scaling state can be managed. Describe scale-out techniques for instantiating new VNFs in a single location where failures have occurred or unexpected traffic surges have been experienced. Scale-out may b

25、e done over multiple servers within a location or in a server in the same rack or cluster within any given location. Scaling out over servers in multiple locations can be investigated in follow-up studies. Develop guidelines for monitoring state such that suitable requirements for controlling elemen

26、ts (e.g. orchestrator) can be formalized in follow-up studies. 2 References 2.1 Normative references References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific.

46、and NFV 4.1 Introduction Traditional reliability management in telecommunications networks typically depends on a variety of redundancy schemes. For example, spare resources may be designated in some form of standby mode; these resources are activated in the event of network failures such that servi

47、ce outages are minimized. Alternately, over-provisioning of resources may also be considered (active-active mode) such that if one resource fails, the remaining resources can still process traffic loads. The advent of Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) ushered in an environment where the focus o

48、f telecommunications network operations shifted from specialized and sophisticated hardware with potentially proprietary software functions residing on them towards commoditized and commercially available servers and standardized software that can be loaded up on them on an as needed basis. In such

49、an environment, Service Providers can enable dynamic loading of Virtual Network Functions (VNF) to readily available servers as and when needed - this is referred to as “scaling out“ (see note). Traffic loads can vary with bursts and spikes of traffic due to external events; alternately network resource failures may reduce the available resources to process existing load adequately. The management of high a
