Project description:

  • Some VNF products have been optimized to take advantage of hardware platform specific capabilities, such as NUMA or CPU pinning in order to maximize their performance and throughput. 
  • During VNF development, hardware platform requirements for such VNFs are defined in the "VNF descriptor" (i.e. VNF model) and stored in the VNF package (CSAR) as part of the CSAR metadata. 
  • When an "optimized" VNF is on-boarded and subsequently instantiated as part of a network service instance, it has to be deployed on specific compute resources that exhibit required hardware platform capabilities. Furthermore, some VNFs are implemented in a way that allows them to operate both in optimized and non-optimized manner, depending on resource availability, entitlements and licensing.
  • Once instantiated, VNFs may require scaling or other remediation actions in order to maintain service levels. Additional VNF resources may need to be added or removed and existing resources may need to be "re-sized" or entirely replaced, depending on operating events and conditions.
