SampleVNF_ is an OPNFV Project.
The project's goal is to provides a placeholder for various sample VNF
(Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`)) 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 VNF/NFVi characterization for the same.
The Project's scope to create a repository of sample VNFs to help VNF
benchmarking and NFVi characterization with real world traffic and host a
common development environment for developing the VNF using optimized libraries.
Also, Develop a test framework in yardstick to enable
Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`) / Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
(:term:`NFVI`) verification.
*SampleVNF* is used in OPNFV for characterization of NFVi/VNF on OPNFV infrastructure
and some of the OPNFV features.
.. seealso:: Pharos_ for information on OPNFV community labs and this
Technical_Briefs_ for an overview of *SampleVNF*
