1- What is NFV: Network Function Virtualization
virtualize network functions: from Home or Enterprise Gateway to Access/Core telecom network & Data centers

Leverage IT virtualization techniques for

telco functions
• Use standard servers and storage
• Applicable to telco network functions
• Initiative from Tier 1 Operators & Vendors
launched as a new Industry Specification Group
(ISG) in ETSI
Key Benefits
• Reduced equipment costs
• Faster time to market
• Resource sharing
• Targeted service introduction

The Multimedia Services Environment is decomposed into “VNF”

or “VNFC” : OCSEE
The IMS MRF VNF that groups the MRB and the MRF (composite
WEB
VNF) composed of MRF-C, MRF-P and MRF Storage VNFC SIP AS
AS
The OCSEE Application server that includes a SIP AS function, a
J2EE container, an internal WEB LB and a Reporting and AS AS
Monitoring function, is it considered as VNFC (VNF Components) WEB Load Reporting
Balancer &
The SIP Load Balancer is aimed to load balance the incoming Monitoring

SIP Session towards several SIP AS instances. It’s a signalling

function that supports the ISC IMS interface
AS storage is an external storage for the AS data (SIP & WEB) SIP Load AS

 Key Highlights:
Multiple VIM & NW Controller
• VNFM & NFVO could be across
multiple NFVI Domains, ie
multiple VIM
• VIM could interface multiple
Network Controllers
• NFVO could request a “WAN
manager” to bridge 2 PoP,
PoP1 & PoP2 via a WAN.
Meaning NFVO not only
interface with VIM but also
with WAN manager
• VNFM does not interact with
WAN manager, only to NFVO
and VIM
Source: MANO GS • WAN can support PNF
