with OpenStack
This paper explores the implementation of Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) using OpenStack, a cloud computing platform.
The research focuses on designing and implementing NFV
infrastructure, developing web-based management software, and
analyzing the performance of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).
3 NFV Initiative
To address these challenges, SPs initiated the Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) initiative, aiming to transform network service
delivery.
NFV Architecture
NFVI VNF NFV MANO
OpenStack Tacker
OpenStack Tacker was released as part of the Mitaka version of
OpenStack, combining OpenStack components for NFV deployment
testing.
System Configuration
VNF OpenWRT image
functioning as Virtual
Router and Virtual
Firewall.
NFVI OpenStack RDO Newton
version with Compute,
Storage, and Network
configurations on an HP
ProLiant DL380 Gen 8
Server PC.
Overview Monitoring
Displays information on available VNF Descriptors, active VNFs, and NFV
Infrastructure Status.
VNF Catalog
Allows administrators to onboard VNFs by inputting TOSCA YAML templates,
view VNF Descriptors, and delete them.
VNF Manager
Enables administrators to manage VNFs, including deploying VNFs using
templates and deleting active VNFs.
