Title
|
Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) Release 3; Testing; Specification of Networking Benchmarks and Measurement Methods for NFVI NFVI_Benchmarks
|
Scope and Field of Application
|
This revision of NFV-TST 009 continues the development of the specification as part of the NFV Release 3. The scope of the previous work item is summarized hereafter:
This work item will specify vendor-agnostic definitions of performance metrics and the associated methods of measurement for Benchmarking networks supported in the NFVI. The Benchmarks and Methods will take into account the communication-affecting aspects of the compute/networking/virtualisation environment (such as the transient interrupts that block other processes or the ability to dedicate variable amounts of resources to communication processes). These Benchmarks are intended to serve as a basis for fair comparison of different implementations of NFVI, (composed of various hardware and software components) according to each individual Benchmark and networking configuration evaluated. Note that a Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) may play a supporting role in configuring the network under test. Examples of existing Benchmarks include IETF RFC 2544 Throughput and Latency (developed for physical network functions).
This revision will also reflect the maintenance needed for the previous specified version.
