OPNFV 101 - Ildiko Vancsa, Ericsson

OPNFV is a very young community and very unique at the same time. It consists of several Telecom vendors and service providers along with IT companies to work on a platform that is suitable for NFVs and the puzzle is built from large open source projects as pieces. Many of us is not completely new to open source, but most of us is still learning how it works. OPNFV is a good example of how the mindset is changing to adapt to a new way of working. The road is full of turns, but we are learning our lessons and moving forward. The presentation will guide you through the changes in the projects’ structure, life cycle and way of working. You will get an overview about our current project structure in OPNFV including co-operation, our processes including tools and best practices and areas that need further improvements.

OpenFastPath –an open source accelerated IP fast path - Tapio Tallgren, Nokia

The exponential growth in data traffic puts ever-increasing demands on the packetprocessing elements in the network, resulting in a need for highperformance IP packet handling. This drives the emergence of a newgeneration of hardware accelerated platforms as well as an emergenceof user space applications and libraries. Hardwareabstraction layers like OpenDataPlane (ODP) and Data PlaneDevelopment Kit (DPDK) provides a hardware abstraction layer and acommon API for applications and libraries. However, they do notinclude commonly required functionality such as IP forwarding orIPsec. To solve this an additional piece of technology is needed - anopen IP stack that provides needed protocols and features for highperformance environments. This framework will enable networkapplication developers to meet both performance and platform targetscreating a basis for scalable high-performance network functions. This presentation will introduce an open source project providingthat missing piece. OpenFastPath (OFP) is the industry’s firsttruly hardware agnostic open source user space IP fast path solution.Backed by major industry players ARM, Nokia and Enea, OFP is aimingat providing industry leading scalability, performance and portability.

Diary of an Infra Guy - Fatih Degirmenci, Ericsson

OPNFV is focusing on accelerating the evolution of NFV products and services through creating an integrated platform that consists of components like OpenStack, OpenDaylight and so forth. In order to build a system that fulfills the requirements of VNFs, it also collaborates with the underlying upstream projects to fill the gaps.
Apart from addressing the telecom needs, the activities cover the end-to-end flow of integrating, deploying and verifying the platform, which gives the diverse and complex nature of the project.
You will get an inside view about the challenges we were facing from the early days to the Arno release and beyond and also outlines our lessons learnt and future plans. We will show how the different deployment tools, test frameworks and lab infrastructures became the parts of one big picture along with a demo of the Continuous Integration Machinery.

Keep Calm And Use Parser - Howard Huang, Huawei

Parser is an integration project in OPNFV and one of the candidate projects of OPNFV B Release. ETSI NFV offers a rich set of descriptors and deployment templates on different levels, thus it is vital for OPNFV as a platform to provide the capability of utilizing different templates for developers to work on. At its core, Parser provides such translation tooling that developers won't care too much about writing a "correct" script. They could write their templates/scripts in TOSCA or YANG or whatever they desire, and Parser would enable OPNFV to natively support all these types of scripts by translate them to the one that the main platform would use.

In this presentation the core team member of the Parser project, Howard Huang, Victor Hu, Vinayak Ram and Julien Zhang will share with you what and how we do in Parser project, and what nice features you would expect in the coming releases.

Art of Assembling the OPNFV - Frank Brockners, Cisco

OPNFV set out to perform systems integration as an open community effort. Systems integration for NFV not only translates to a continuous composition and test effort, but also commonly requires custom feature extensions and additions. While system integration means “choosing”, open source projects typically “create choice” – where the created merit determines success or failure in the market.
This presentation explores how OPNFV is composed out of many components. We’ll take a look at the “engine room” of OPNFV and see how the OPNFV community combines “choosing” and “choice”. By reviewing the current status, we’ll address how the platform composition was done for the 1st release, how things evolve towards the 2nd release, as well as how users can not only use OPNFV but also impact and influence OPNFV’s direction moving forward. And yes, we’ll share some of the fun, joy, and pitfalls.

Community Anti-Patterns - Dave Neary, Red Hat

In the OPNFV project, we are building on a large body of existing work, and have the opportunity to take advantage of some best practices which have arisen through trial and error in 40 years of free and open source software development. And anywhere we find best practices, we find projects who have diligently avoided them and seem to do things the Wrong Way.

The Cookie Licker, the Bikeshed, Broken Window Syndrome, the Big Reveal, the Alpha Male - this is an irreverent look at some of the worst anti-patterns that have arisen on open source community projects, and (hopefully) some actionable ideas on how to address or avoid them in OPNFV.

Doctor Project - Ryota Mibu, NEC; Gerald Kunzmann, DOCOMO; Carlos Goncalves, NEC

Doctor is an OPNFV project focusing on fault management and maintenance of Network Services on top of a virtualized infrastructure. Failure awareness is a key to achieve high reliability. Adopting virtualization technologies adds a new layer in the infrastructure separating applications from the underlying hardware. Thus, network services as an application may lose promptness and accuracy of the failure awareness. In Doctor, we started from identifying requirements for fault management, aligned the specifications between OSS and SDO, and finally got our proposed features implemented in the upstream OSS.
In this talk, we'll present an overview of the Doctor project including the technical requirements for NFV in a fault management and maintenance context, a demo of an integrated Doctor framework, and lessons learned on how we successfully got our features implemented in the upstream OSS.

Accelerate Service Function Chaining Vertical Solution with DPDK - Danny Zhou, Intel

Service Function Chaining (SFC) is one of top 5 NFV use case. Supporting SFC in provider and enterprise networks requires performance assurance. Specifically, the Classifier and the Service Function Forwarder which are typically implemented in software such as virtual switches need to match line rate requirement. DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) is an open source project comprising a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet processing. In this presentation, we will discuss our experiences accelerating SFC with DPDK. In addition, Telco and Datacenter carriers demands dynamic SFC that requires new SFC wire protocols (e.g. VxLAN-GPE and NSH) support in both data and control planes. We intend to share our experiences and future works of a high performance, NSH-aware SFC vertical solution with open-source ingredients: Openstack, Opendaylight, OpenvSwitch with DPDK acceleration.

In the Next Gen Hyper Connected World (5G to Term So) with highly varied use case needs, it becomes imminent that the Network is Sliced for each family of application type.
Orchestration and aggregation of VNFs based on application needs, becomes a necessity to achieve the above goal. All Layers of MANO– VIMs,VNF Manager and Orchestrator needs to work in tandem based on an application policy to achieve a specific Network Slice.
The talk would discuss the challenges involved and possible extensions to OPNFV Promise and Copper in VIM layer and identify first steps in Orchestrator and VNF Manager layers, which may eventually lead to new projects, to achieve the desired end goal.

Sponsor Session - Open For NFV Business- Glenn Seiler, Wind River

OPNFV is driving a lot of momentum and interest around Open Source and NFV. But to be competitive in today’s market, you cannot afford to waste time on lengthy integration projects – you need to be in the market now with a high performance, highly available carrier grade NFV solution. In addition, the solutions for today also need to be future-proofed; i.e. based on open source and the work being done by OPNFV, ETSI and OpenStack. Thus, a successful open NFV strategy is based on adherence to the critical standards programs currently underway, while adding just the right amount of IP to fill critical gaps and provide market differentiation.

One approach is to use open source reference platforms to get started with proof of concepts for NFV, but once in deployment you need a proven, reliable, and commercially supported carrier grade platform. Ensuring that an NFVI platform is Carrier Grade is a complex business that includes API support for VNFs, OpenStack plug-ins for Carrier Grade features, KVM enhancements for real-time and more.

In this session, learn how the combination of Open Source technologies, ETSI standards, high performance, and plug-ins that guarantee Six 9’s availability comprise a solution that is ready-for-NFV today. Wind River will showcase its Titanium Server NFVI platform focusing on how it is built from OPNFV and ETSI reference platforms.

Sponsor Session - Open source and cloud - change through collaboration- Martin Bäckström, Ericsson

In recent years as virtualization and cloud became more and more mature an opportunity has been created for the industry to move towards an NFV networking methodology. In parallel with this phenomenon the role of open source has evolved to establish a fundamentally new paradigm for software development. The ICT industry has had to adapt to this change and move away from traditional ways of working.

During this presentation we will share some of our experience of the cloud market including SDN and NFV. We intend to shed light on some of the challenges faced and what lessons learnt on the path toward collaborative standardization and open source development. We will also highlight the importance of OPNFV and its role as an avenue to upstream communities for both investigation and cooperation.

Join us and be part of our discussion to see how we envision the future of this open source cloud ecosystem.

CDN Use Case Revisited - Marc Fiuczynski, Akamai

The explosion of OTT style on-demand and live video traffic experienced by network operators implicitly motivated the ETSI NFV CDN Use Case. The dynamic placement of CDN caches on virtual machines at strategic network locations offers a viable approach to managing this explosion. A CDN is a major, distributed traffic data source, rather than a bump in the wire, that depending on workload also requires terabytes of high performance I/O storage. As such it is different from the more conventional network functions explored in the context of NFV. In this presentation, Marc Fiuczynski revisits the CDN Use Case by outlining both technical and deployment challenges that should be addressed by the NFV and SDN community at large to arrive at the desired efficacy network operators are seeking by deploying CDNs within their networks.

From IaaS to MANO Service Oriented VIM NBI - Tianran Zhou, Huawei and Prakash Ramchandran, Futurewei

While OpenStack is a competitive candidate for VIM, existing IaaS service oriented NBI leaves a lot of detailed work for the upper layer applications (e.g. orchestrator).

MOVIE project in OPNFV is to provide a more abstract VIM NBI alternative by extending the general cloud platform to simplify the orchestrator and VNF manager, and make it easy for resource access, connection generation, flow identification, policy operation, etc. This higher level abstraction gives the upper layer applications another option in addition to the combination of openstack existing interfaces and extentions developed by other OPNFV projects.Service Chaining is one of the most important use cases in OPNFV. We will also take this as an example to show how the intent driven interface can simplify the deployment and reduce the OPEX.

Open Source in a Closed Network – the Dilemma of NFV - Prodip Sen, HP

In networks built from proprietary and specialized equipment and software, can we really achieve the touted benefits of applying open source? One year has passed since the experiment called OPNFV was launched as act of faith by a brave few who wanted to accelerate true interoperability, by developing an open and flexible development reference platform to address NFV. In this year we have wrestled with many issues on both the development and business front, as we balance CSP expectations vs CSP realities, cooperation vs differentiation, and try to harness the chaotic open source development model to deliver useful software in a timely manner. This talk will provide an overview of the challenges we faced, our learnings and achievements.

With a focus on carrier-grade NFV products and services, it is easy to view the work of OPNFV solely through the lens of traditional telecom networking gear and vendors. That would be a mistake. Executing on the promise of NFV requires collaboration with – and an understanding of – a broad swath of players across the IT and open source communities; efforts to build scalable NFVI, VIM and MANO solutions will fail unless CSPs do so. Against this backdrop, it’s only fair to call out open source SDN, cloud management and analytics as strategic to OPNFV efforts, making it critical to hear how leading players in these fields see themselves supporting NFV going forward.

VNFs at the Edge using Docker Containers - Michael Kloberdans, CableLabs

While little discussed, there is a solid case in placing some VNFs at the edge of the network, but this notion implies a distributed model that VNFs were not originally created to address. One of the problems in placing VNFs at the network edge is that the edge equipment may be very cost sensitive and in many cases, consumer grade.

These consumer-grade devices cannot support a virtual container such as a KVM because of the huge memory requirements of an additional OS. A Docker container has been proposed and implemented with great success.

High Availability of NFV Platform, Requirements & Deployment - DENG Hui, China Mobile; Xinhui Li, VMware; and Qi Ming Teng, IBM

High availability (HA) is one of the key requirements for a NFV platform.
Among the many concerns from most Carriers, the basic building blocks to
support a highly available NFV solution and the proper procedure to deploy
a HA platform are always on the top of the list. This talk will present
several typical use cases in a highly available NFV setup and examine the
supports from the existing OpenStack cloud platform. We will demonstrate a
HA solution based on the chaining of OpenStack components/services. The talk
will also give an overview of the cluster service for OpenStack which can
be utilized to exploit the capability and potentials from OpenStack services
and to explore new opportunities and alternatives for provisioning a high

Open Management Interfaces for NFV - Anees Shaikh, Google

By separating network functions into software components running on virtualized infrastructure, NFV enables network operators to improve their agility and lower costs. However, the operational benefits offered by NFV architectures are still ultimately limited by the manageability of the infrastructure and network services that are deployed. In this talk we describe OpenConfig, an industry collaboration led by network operators, to simplify the management of network services and infrastructure by developing common APIs for the management plane. The OpenConfig working group started with an initial focus of defining vendor-neutral data models for configuration and telemetry based on real operational use cases. As these models are implemented by infrastructure providers, the costs and delays of introducing new platforms and services into the network will decrease significantly.

Achieving Telco Grade NFV: Benchmarking Real World Workloads - Clive D'Souza, Intel

While the construct of Network Functions Virtualization and Software Defined Networking has graduated from a conceptual to a viable technology phase, real world deployments are still proving to be a challenge. Telecom Equipment Manufacture’s (TEM’s) have to find a reliable, deterministic manner to benchmark their wares to specific virtual network functions. Benchmarks which are interoperable, repeatable, based on open standards supporting plug & play modular architectures, to accommodate multi-vendor VNF support will be needed.
Intel has a deep experience in stemming from the successful adoption of virtualization in the data centers; Learnings from the virtualization of the data center journey are directly applicable to standardizing and accelerating the benchmarking for NFV, all with the aim to vastly accelerate the adoption curve of virtualization in networking.

OpenStack & OVS: From Love-Hate Relationship to Match Made in Heaven - Chloe Ma, Mellanox and Erez Cohen, Mellanox

Many OPNFV developers building Openstack clouds at scale have a “love-hate” relationship with OVS. They love the flexibility and elasticity offered by a distributed virtual switch operating within each server, but hate the reality of first-gen OVS implementations well-known to be a bottleneck for cloud network performance and scalability. As performance-sensitive VNFs keep pushing for higher data forwarding performance across the NFV network infrastructure, it becomes critical to improve OVS performance without compromising flexibility, network programmability, and cost.

In this session, Mellanox will present a novel way to offload the entire OVS dataplane onto the embedded switch in the server NIC. This approach can not only boost server I/O performance to near line-rate, be it 10G, 40G, or 100G, but also doing so at a fraction of the CPU load needed by existing OVS implementation.
