Distributed-NFV at the Customer Edge

Transcription

1 Distributed-NFV at the Customer Edge A Practical Approach for NFV-based Business Services June 2014 D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide1

2 Outline Distributed NFV Approach Proposed D-NFV Solution Benefits and Use Cases ETSI Multi-Vendor D-NFV PoC D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide2

3 Distributed-NFV (D-NFV) Approach VNFs wherever it makes the most functional and economical sense, including at the customer edge Customer premises Data center Network nodes D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide3

4 Why NFV at The Customer Edge? Feasibility Some functions MUST run at the customer premises, e.g., end-to-end encryption and WAN optimization Performance Some applications are more effective at the customer premises e.g., end-to-end QoS Economics Tradeoff between network and IT costs Policy Dictated by regulations and policies D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide4

5 A Service Provider s Dream? Cloud Service Internet Mobile Networks Mobile phone Customer Location Cloud Service Internet Networks? NTU Customer Premises Customer Network Applications Network functions: Routing, diagnostics tools, etc. Value-added services: Encryption, firewall, WAN optimization, etc. D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide5

6 Proposed D-NFV Solution ETX-2 award winning NTU/NID family NTU/NID embedded Capabilities L2 / L3, hardware-based Service assurance tools Circuit emulation Timing (SyncE/ ) Any uplink: Eth/DSL/TDM Virtualized Network Functions Routing (VM based) Diagnostic & testing tools Available BW estimation Application awareness More Firewall Virtualized Value-Added Apps Encryption WAN optimization IP telephony More D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide6

8 Use Case: Firewall Firewall app as a value-added service Only relevant traffic is directed to firewall VM Firewall App VM OpenStack DNFV module Hypervisor Firewall management RADview (DNFV manager) Firewall traffic Firewall traffic Customer Network UNI Pass-through traffic NNI Network D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide8

9 Use Case: Diagnostic Tool TCPdump monitors traffic to analyze network behavior, performance and applications Hardware forwarding with flow mirroring ensures VM does not introduce delay or create bottlenecks Firewall app VM DNFV module TCPdump management SSH to activate, SFTP for file transfer TCPdump manager OpenStack Hypervisor RADview (DNFV manager) Monitored traffic Monitored traffic Customer Network UNI Pass-through traffic NNI Network D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide9

10 D-NFV: A Stepping Stone to NFV Phase I Customer Edge NFV (Distributed NFV) Initial Deployment Center-less solution, minimum upfront investment and risk while benefiting from fast service introduction Phase II Full-Blown NFV Full-Scale Deployment VNFs at the edge, network nodes and data center as justified, benefit from a shared IT resource pool D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide10

11 D-NFV Solution s Main Benefits INCREASE REVENUES REDUCE TCO Fast introduction of new services Fast response to competition Encourage service adoption with Try-n-buy Improve quality of experience reduce churn No truck rolls for service introduction and upgrades Reduced customer site equipment footprint, less power consumption, better MTBF Waiving upfront network and data center investments lower risks D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide11
