Reserved resources are guaranteed for a given user/client for the period +expressed by start and end time. User/client represents the requestor and the +consequent consumer of the reserved resources and correspond to the NFVO or +VNFM in ETSI NFV terminology. + +Note: in this document only reservation requests from NFVO are considered. + +General Features +================ + +This section provides a list of features that need to be developed in the +Promise project. + +* Resource capacity management + + * Discovery of available resource capacity in resource providers + * Monitoring of available resource capacity in resource providers + * Update available resource capacity as a result of new or expired + reservations, addition/removal of resources. Note: this is a VIM internal + function, not an operation in the VIM northbound interface. + +* Resource reservation + + * Set start time and end time for allocation + * Increase/decrease reserved resource's capacity + * Update resource reservations, e.g. add/remove reserved resources + * Terminate an allocated resource due to the end time of a reservation + +* VIM northbound interfaces + + * Receive/Reply resource reservation requests + * Receive/Reply resource capacity management requests + * Receive/Reply resource allocation requests for reserved resources when + start time arrives + * Subscribe/Notify resource reservation event + + * Notify reservation error or process completion prior to reservation start + * Notify remaining time until termination of a resource due to the end time + of a reservation + * Notify termination of a resource due to the end time of a reservation + + * Receive/Reply queries on available resource capacity + * Subscribe/Notify changes in available resource capacity + +High level northbound interface specification +============================================= + +Resource Capacity Management +---------------------------- + +.. figure:: images/figure2.png + :width: 90% + + Resource capacity management message flow: notification of capacity change + +Figure 2 shows a high level flow for a use case of resource capacity +management. In this example, the VIM notifies the NFVO of capacity change after +having received an event regarding a change in capacity (e.g. a fault +notification) from the NFVI. The NFVO can also retrieve detailed capacity +information using the Query Capacity Request interface operation. + +.. figure:: images/figure3.png + :width: 90% + + Resource capacity management message flow: query of capacity density + +Figure 3 shows a high level flow for another use case of resource capacity +management. In this example, the NFVO queries the VIM about the actual capacity +to instantiate a certain resource according to a certain template, for example +a VM according to a certain flavor. In this case the VIM responds with the +number of VMs that could be instantiated according to that flavor with the +currently available capacity. + +Resource Reservation +-------------------- + +.. figure:: images/figure4.png + :width: 90% + + Resource reservation flow + +Figure 4 shows a high level flow for a use case of resource reservation. The +main steps are: + +* The NFVO sends a resource reservation request to the VIM using the Create + Resource Reservation Request interface operation. +* The NFVO gets a reservation identifier reservation associated with this + request in the reply message +* Using the reservation identifier reservation, the NFVO can + query/update/terminate a resource reservation using the corresponding + interface operations +* The NFVO is notified that the resource reservation is terminated due to the + end time of the reservation + + +Information elements +==================== + +Resource Capacity
