The present document specifies functional requirements for both the Virtualised Infrastructure Manager (VIM) and the NFV Infrastructure (NFVI), for NFV acceleration from an infrastructure management perspective. This includes the controlling and management of acceleration resources, e.g. allocation, release and discovery of acceleration resources. The present document also identifies the corresponding impacts on VIM related specifications regarding functional requirements ETSI GS NFV-IFA 010 and reference points (ETSI GS NFV-IFA 005 and ETSI GS NFV-IFA 006).

The present document is an informative report on methods for pre-deployment testing of the functional components of an NFV environment. The NFV components addressed in the present document include Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), the NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) and the NFV Management and Orchestration (NFV MANO). The recommendations focus on lab testing and the following aspects of pre-deployment testing:

1. Assessing the performance of the NFVI and its ability to fulfil the performance and reliability requirements of the VNFs executing on the NFVI.
2. Data and control plane testing of VNFs and their interactions with the NFV Infrastructure and the NFV MANO.
3. Validating the performance, reliability and scaling capabilities of Network Services.

The LTFS Format Specification defines a file system format separate from any implementation on data storage media. Using this format, data is stored in LTFS Volumes. An LTFS Volume holds data files and corresponding metadata to completely describe the directory and file structures stored on the volume.
 
The LTFS Format has these features:

• An LTFS Volume can be mounted and volume content accessed with full use of the data without the need to access other information sources.
• Data can be passed between sites and applications using only the information written to an LTFS Volume.
• Files can be written to, and read from, an LTFS Volume using standard POSIX file operations.

The LTFS Format is particularly suited to these usages:

• Data export and import.
• Data interchange and exchange.
• Direct file and partial file recall from sequential access media. Archival storage of files using a simplified, self-contained or “self-describing” format on sequential access media.

The LTFS Bulk Transfer standard defines a method by which a set of files, directories and objects from a source system can be transferred to a destination system.  The bulk transfer of large quantities of data is well suited for LTFS due to the economic and environmental characteristics of tape. Building on top of the LTFS format, a standardized method for transferring data is defined that provides many advantages.

This Standard specifies the minimum requirements for telecommunications infrastructure of data centers and computer rooms, including single tenant enterprise data centers and multi-tenant data centers. The topology specified in this document is intended to be applicable to any size data center.
