Title	Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV); Acceleration Technologies; vSwitch Benchmarking and Acceleration Specification Acceleration - Switching Aspects Spec
Scope and Field of Application	The scope of this work item includes the following deliverables: - Define performance benchmarking parameters for virtual switching in the usage models provided in the companion work item “Overview & Use Cases”. - Define requirements for virtual switch acceleration, and quantify possible gains in performance, latency & SLA metrics. - Define deployment scenarios for compute node based virtual switching that is supportable in any virtual switch data path or in any intelligent NIC, in a consistent manner across multiple vendor implementations. - Define requirements for common virtual switching functions across usage models such as packet delivery into VNFs, network overlay and tunnel termination, stateful NAT, service chaining, load balancing and, in general, match-action based policies applied to network functions running in VMs. - Recommendations for potential follow-on PoCs to demonstrate feasibility. The deliverable's will contain both normative provisions and informative material.
