OPNFV SAMPLEVNF Documentation design file. + +============ +Introduction +============ + +**Welcome to SampleVNF's developer getstarted documentation !** + +.. _Pharos: https://wiki.opnfv.org/pharos +.. _SampleVNF: https://wiki.opnfv.org/samplevnf +.. _Technical_Briefs: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SAM/Technical+Briefs+of+VNFs + +Overview: +--------- + +This project provides a placeholder for various sample VNF (Virtual Network Function) +development which includes example reference architecture and optimization methods +related to VNF/Network service for high performance VNFs. This project provides +benefits to other OPNFV projects like Functest, Models, yardstick etc to perform +real life use-case based testing and NFVi characterization for the same. + +The sample VNFs are Open Source approximations* of Telco grade VNF’s 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 + +It helps to facilitate deterministic & repeatable bench-marking on +Industry standard high volume Servers. It augments well with a Test Infrastructure +to help facilitate consistent/repeatable methodologies for characterizing & validating +the sample VNFs through OPEN SOURCE VNF approximations and test tools. +The VNFs belongs to this project are never meant for field deployment. +All the VNF source code part of this project requires Apache License Version 2.0. + +Scope: +----- +The Scope of samplevnf project as follows" +To create a repository of sample VNFs to help VNF benchmarking and NFVi +characterization with real world traffic. +Host a common development environment for developing the VNF using optimized libraries +Integrate into CI tool chain and existing test frameworks for VNF feature and deployment testing + +Testability: +----------- +Network Service Testing framework added into the Yardstick will be used as a test +tool for Functional/Performance verification of all the sample VNFs. +Planning to extend the same to FuncTest and Models project to include the testcases +related to sample VNFs. |
