Network Functions Virtualization From physical network functions (PNF) To virtual network functions (VNF) Application Application OS Processor Network Application Application Industry standard virtualization Industry standard processor Industry standard networking From specialized HW & OS To open, industry standard platform NFV aims to replace dedicated network appliances with sw that runs on cots servers and on Linux, transforming the network. This is important in order to increase the speed of innovation, bringing in new services to end users faster. ETSI NFV architecture.

Open Platform for Network Functions Virtualization OPNFV is a carrier-grade, integrated, open source platform to accelerate the introduction of new NFV products and services.

What does OPNFV actually do? Upstream: we fix what is missing in upstream components Downstream: we integrate them by consuming the components Upstream + Downstream = Midstream The diagram is taken from https://www.slideshare.net/FrankBrockners1/the-dna-of-opnfv

Way of Working Long development cycle OPNFV Project Team OPNFV Gerrit OPNFV CI/Test OPNFV Release Upstream Gerrit Upstream CI/Test Upstream Release Requirement Patch Test Release Document Downstream Test Release Long development cycle Downstream will delay to next release Slow feedback, > 5 months OPNFV specific issues cannot be tested/detected in time

But… Speed Quality and predictability is key We are slow and things are fast! Always trying to catch up Quality and predictability is key
