(Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`)) development which includes example reference architecture and optimization methods related to VNF/Network service for high performance VNFs. The sample VNFs are Open Source approximations* of Telco grade :term:`VNF` using optimized VNF + NFVi Infrastructure libraries, with Performance Characterization of Sample† Traffic Flows. • * Not a commercial product. Encourage the community to contribute and close the feature gaps. • † No Vendor/Proprietary Workloads ETSI-NFV ======== .. _NFV-TST001: http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gs/NFV-TST/001_099/001/01.01.01_60/gs_NFV-TST001v010101p.pdf .. _SampleVNFtst: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SAM/Technical+Briefs+of+VNFs .. _Yardstick_NSB: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/yardstick/docs/testing_user_userguide/index.html#document-13-nsb-overview SampleVNF Test Infrastructure (NSB (Yardstick_NSB_))in yardstick helps to facilitate consistent/repeatable methodologies for characterizing & validating the sample VNFs (:term:`VNF`) through OPEN SOURCE VNF approximations. Network Service Benchmarking in yardstick framework follows ETSI GS NFV-TST001_ to verify/characterize both :term:`NFVI` & :term:`VNF` The document ETSI GS NFV-TST001_, "Pre-deployment Testing; Report on Validation of NFV Environments and Services", recommends methods for pre-deployment testing of the functional components of an NFV environment. The SampleVNF project implements the methodology described in chapter 13 of Yardstick_NSB_, "Pre-deployment validation of NFV infrastructure". The methodology consists in decomposing the typical :term:`VNF` work-load performance metrics into a number of characteristics/performance vectors, which each can be represented by distinct test-cases. .. seealso:: SampleVNFtst_ for material on alignment ETSI TST001 and SampleVNF. Metrics ======= The metrics, as defined by ETSI GS NFV-TST001, are shown in :ref:`Table1 <table2_1>`. .. _table2_1: **Table 1 - Performance/Speed Metrics** +---------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Category| Performance/Speed | | | | +---------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Network | * Throughput per NFVI node (frames/byte per second) | | | * Throughput provided to a VM (frames/byte per second) | | | * Latency per traffic flow | | | * Latency between VMs | | | * Latency between NFVI nodes | | | * Packet delay variation (jitter) between VMs | | | * Packet delay variation (jitter) between NFVI nodes | | | * RFC 3511 benchmark | | | | +---------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ .. note:: The description in this OPNFV document is intended as a reference for users to understand the scope of the SampleVNF Project and the deliverables of the SampleVNF framework.
