| localAffinityOrAntiAffinityRule | M | 0..* | LocalAffinityOrAntiAffinityRule | Specifies affinity or anti-affinity rules applicable between the VLs based on this VnfVirtualLinkDesc. When the cardinality is greater than 1, both affinity rule(s) and anti-affinity rule(s) with different scopes are applicable to the VLs based on this VnfVirtualLinkDesc. |
