Experiential Networked Intelligence (ENI); Proof of Concepts Framework
The present document gives a survey of the security features in the open source management software relevant to NFV, in particular OpenStackTM as the first case study. It addresses the OpenStack modules that provide security services (such as authentication, authorization, confidentiality protection, integrity protection, and logging) together with the full graphs of their respective dependencies down to the ones that implement cryptographic protocols and algorithms. It also identifies a set of recommendations on the use of and enhancements to OpenStack as pertinent to NFV.
The present document specifies the interfaces used for acceleration resource management on the Nf-Vi reference point of the NFV MANO framework, as well as the information elements exchanged over those interfaces.
The present document specifies a data model for NFV descriptors, using the TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML, fulfilling the requirements specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011 and ETSI GS NFV-IFA 014 for a Virtualised Network Function Descriptor (VNFD), a Network Service Descriptor (NSD) and a Physical Network Function Descriptor (PNFD). The present document also specifies requirements on the VNFM and NFVO specific to the handling of NFV descriptors based on the TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML specification.
The present document specifies the interfaces supported over the Ve-Vnfm-em and Ve-Vnfm-vnf reference points of the NFV-MANO architectural framework ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001 as well as the information elements exchanged over those interfaces.
ISG NFV has developed over 80 different reports and specifications for the virtualisation of network functions. NFV publications describe and specify virtualisation requirements, architecture framework, functional components and their interfaces, as well as the protocols and the APIs for these interfaces. ISG NFV also studies VNF performance, reliability, and resiliency matters, analyses the security challenges linked to virtualisation (trust, attestation, regulation). NFV specifies requirements for Management and Orchestration, for hardware acceleration, etc. And a lot is ongoing!
The present document provides terms and definitions for conceptual entities within the scope of the ISG NFV, in order to achieve a "common language" across all the ISG NFV working groups.
The present document specifies the structure of the Network Service Descriptor (NSD) file archive and the naming conventions for the different files it contains, fulfilling the requirements specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 014 [1] for an NSD file structure.
The present document specifies the YANG models for representing Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) descriptors, fulfilling the requirements specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011 and ETSI GS NFV-IFA 014 applicable to a Virtualised Network Function Descriptor (VNFD), a Physical Network Functions Descriptor (PNFD) and a Network Service Descriptor (NSD).
The present document specifies common aspects of RESTful protocols and data models for ETSI NFV management and orchestration (MANO) interfaces.
The EMTEL Special Committee is responsible for the capture of European requirements concerning emergency communication services, covering typically the four scenarios in case of an emergency e.g. communication of citizens with authorities, from authorities to citizens, between authorities and amongst citizens. In addition, EMTEL deals with topics like location (e.g. Advanced Mobile Location), NG112, communications involving IoT devices in emergency situations and alerting.
The document aims at providing recommendations for the introduction of autonomics (management and control intelligence) in the 3GPP Core and Backhaul network architectures. To this effect, it covers the instantiation of the reference model for Autonomic Networking, Cognition and Self-Management, called GANA (Generic Autonomic Networking Architecture), onto the architecture defined in ETSI TS 123 401 and ETSI TS 123 402. It superimposes GANA Decision Elements (DEs) into node/device architectures and the overall 3GPP network architecture, so that the DEs and their associated Control-Loops can be further designed to perform autonomic management and control of the specific resources (Managed Entities) in the target architecture. It develops recommendations on the basic behaviours of the GANA Functional Blocks (FBs) in the above context. 3GPP specifications on policy control (ETSI TS 123 203) and network management (TS 123 32x series) are taken into account into the working reference architecture. It also involves the backhaul network and associated interactions between the different entities for an optimization with an end-to-end perspective.
