These +features have been specified by ETSI NFV. + +This document has described several use cases and corresponding high level +flows where Resource Reservation and Capacity Management are of great benefit +for the consumer of the virtualised resource management interface: the NFVO or +the VNFM. The use cases include: + +* Notification of changes in capacity in the NFVI +* Query of available resource capacity +* Reservation of a resource or set of resources for immediate use +* Reservation of a resource or set of resources for future use + +The Promise project has performed a gap analysis in order to fulfill the +required functionality. Based on the gap analysis an implementation plan and +way forward has been proposed, including a possible design architecture and +high level information model. Immediate next steps of this project is to +deliver a working Proof-of-Concepts (PoC) and engage upstream communities to +fill out the gaps identified by Promise. |
