OPNFV: Overview and Approach to Upstream Integration

Heather KirkseyDirector, OPNFV

The networking industry is in transformation

Why NFV?

Converged 4G LTE Fixed Mobile Arch

Meanwhile the world was changing….

Rise of Open SourceVirtualization

CloudSoftware Defined

Networking

ETSI Architectural Framework

Why OPNFV?

We Need To Work Together

What is OPNFV?

OPNFV is a carrier-grade, integrated, open source platform to accelerate the introduction of new NFV products and services.

OPNFV Project Goals

• Develop and test an integrated open source platform

• Include participation of end users• Contribute to and participate in relevant

open source projects• Establish an ecosystem for NFV solutions

Governance

• A Business (Board) and Technical (TSC) governance structure separates business decisions from meritocratic, technical decisions

Financial oversight Oversight of all marketing: web, PR/AR, branding, etc.

Policy oversight

Projects drive code development, testing, integration and reference platform releases

TSC sets technical direction for the overall Project

Board sets business direction and scope for the Project

Certification and complianceoversight

Strategic direction oversight

How does OPNFV Work?

“Systems integration as an open community

effort.”

Scenario: “Deployment of a set of components and their configuration”

> Compose. Deploy. Test. Iterate.

OPNFV Testing Approaches• Functional:

• Functest: base system functionality, component testing, VIM

• Performance/System: • Yardstick: End to end system level based on ETSI TST001• Bottlenecks: Verify OPNFV boundaries in staging before bringing VNFs• StorPerf: Storage performance for any VNF• VSPerf: Virtual Switch characterization • CPerf: Controller performance• PolicyTest: Policy testing • QTip: Bare metal focus (compute, network, storage)

• For discussion of testing ecosystem, see: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/functest/Testing

Feature Evolution Example: OPNFV SFC Project• Objective: Verify ODL SFC in

system level deployments• Brahmaputra Yardstick tests:

• TC029: VM Creation• Verify that only 2 Service Function

VMs are created for Service Chains Chain1 and Chain2

• TC030: Block HTTP• Verify that Client1 can not do

HTTP traffic, but can do SSH traffic• TC031: Block SSH

• Verify that Client2 can not do SSH traffic, but can do HTTP traffic

Components evolve. Systems follow.
