The present document is an informative architectural study that identifies different viable architectural and functional options for the partitioning/distribution/consolidation of functionality amongst NFV-MANO functional blocks defined in NFV architectural document ETSI GS NFV 002 and further refined in NFV-MANO architectural framework ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001, as well as the potential impact in each case on reference points, on interfaces associated with the reference points, and on information elements exchanged over those interfaces.
Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) adds new capabilities to communications networks and requires a new set of management and orchestration functions to be added to the current model of operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning. The NFV Management and Orchestration (NFV-MANO) architectural framework has the role to manage the infrastructure and orchestrate the resources needed by the Network Services (NSs) and Virtualised Network Functions (VNFs).
In order to guide the development of the specification of the interfaces exposed between the NFV-MANO Functional Blocks (FBs), it is important to have a clear and consolidated set of functional requirements to be addressed by the NFV-MANO. The present document is providing functional requirements on NFV MANO e.g. VNF lifecycle management (LCM), NS LCM, virtualised resource management, etc.
The functional requirements specified in the present document are mainly derived from functional requirements identified in ETSI GS NFV 002, ETSI GS NFV 003, ETSI GS NFV 004, ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001, ETSI GS NFV-SWA 001, ETSI GS NFV-REL 001 and ETSI GS NFV-INF 001 or derived from concepts defined in these documents.

The present document specifies the functional requirements, interfaces and operations to support the provision of network services across multiple administrative domains based on the interactions between NFVOs in different administrative domains (supported over the Or-Or reference point).
The present document also specifies the information elements exchanged over the specified interfaces.
The different aspects specified in the present document are derived from ETSI GR NFV-IFA 028.
