Abstract
The present document describes the models and methods for end-to-end reliability in NFV environments and software upgrade from a resilience perspective. The scope of the present document covers the following items:
- Study reliability estimation models for NFV including modelling architecture.
- Study NFV reliability and availability methods.
- Develop reliability estimation models for these methods, including dynamic operational aspects such as impact of load and life-cycle operations.
- Study reliability issues during NFV software upgrade and develop upgrade mechanisms for improving resilience.
- Develop guidelines to realise the differentiation of resiliency for different services.
