Abstract
========
This document describes the release note of SampleVNF project.
Version History
===============
+----------------+--------------------+---------------------------------+
| *Date* | *Version* | *Comment* |

+----------------+--------------------+---------------------------------+
| "May 25 2018" | 6.1.0 | SampleVNF for Farser release |
| | | |
+----------------+--------------------+---------------------------------+
Important Notes
===============
The software delivered in the OPNFV SampleVNF_ Project, comprising the
*SampleVNF VNFs* and performance test case are part of OPNFV Yardstick_
Project is a realization of the methodology in ETSI-ISG NFV-TST001_.
OPNFV Farser Release
======================
This Farser release provides *SampleVNF* as a approx VNF repository for
VNF/NFVI testing, characterization and OPNFV feature testing, automated on
OPNFV platform, including:
* Documentation generated with Sphinx
* User Guide
* Developer Guide
* Release notes (this document)
* Results
* Automated SampleVNF test suit in OPNFV Yardstick_ Project
* SampleVNF source code
For Farser release, the *SampleVNF* supported:
+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+
| *VNF* | *Name* | *version* |
+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+
| *CGNAPT* | Carrier Grade Network Address and port Translation .5.0 | v0.1.0 |
+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+
| *Prox* | Packet pROcessing eXecution engine | v0.40.0 |
| | acts as traffic generator, L3FWD, L2FWD, BNG etc | |
+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+
| *vACL* | Access Control List | v0.1.0 |
+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+
| *vFW* | Firewall | v0.1.0 |
+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+
| *UDP_replay* | UDP_Replay | v0.1.0 |
+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+
.. note:: Highlevel Desgin and features supported by each of the VNFs is described in Developer
and user guide.
For Farser release, the *SampleVNF* is used for the following
testing:
* OPNFV platform testing - generic test cases to measure the categories:
* NFVI Characterization:
* Network
* VNF Characterization:
* Network - rfc2544, rfc3511, latency, http_test etc
The *SampleVNF* is developed in the OPNFV community, by the SampleVNF_ team.
The *Network Service Benchmarking* SampleVNF Characterization Testing tool is a part of the
Yardstick Project.
.. note:: The test case description template used for the SampleVNF in yardstick
test cases is based on the document ETSI-ISG NFV-TST001_; the results report template
used for the SampleVNF test results is based on the IEEE Std 829-2008.
