ETSI

The present document defines the requirements to interface the Security Control to NFV-MANO as described in ETSI GS NFV-SEC 013 and the LI Controller in ETSI GR NFV-SEC 011. The present document identifies the extensions to the NFV-MANO architecture related to security management and monitoring. Multiple trust domains are considered.

The present document specifies the performance measurements that are exposed on various NFV MANO reference points (e.g. Or-Vnfm, Ve-Vnfm-em, Vi-Vnfm, Or-Vi and Os-Ma-nfvo). ETSI GS NFV-TST 008 specifies the Network Function Virtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI) performance metrics that will be reported to Virtualised Infrastructure Manager (VIM). VIM processes the performance metrics received from NFVI to generate performance measurements to be sent to NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) and VNF Manager (VNFM). VNFM and NFVO conduct further processing to generate performance measurements.

The present document specifies the interfaces for management of multi-site connectivity services. The services are produced by a WAN Infrastructure Manager (WIM). The present document also describes the operations and the information elements that are exchanged over these interfaces.

The present document specifies, at an abstract level, the general, functional and performance requirements that apply to the GeoNetworking protocols (EN 302 636-4 [i.1], EN 302 636-5 [i.2] and EN 302 636-6 [i.3]) for use in ETSI ITS G5 access technology (EN 302 663 [i.4]). The present document is applicable to ITS stations implementing ETSI ITS G5 access technology (EN 302 663 [i.4]) and the GeoNetworking protocols (EN 302 636-4 [i.1], EN 302 636-5 [i.2] and EN 302 636-6 [i.3]) for both single hop and multi-hop communications.

The present document specifies requirements and templates for describing Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) Network Services (NSs) in the form of meta-data.

The present document gives a survey of the security features in the open source management software relevant to NFV, in particular OpenStackTM as the first case study. It addresses the OpenStack modules that provide security services (such as authentication, authorization, confidentiality protection, integrity protection, and logging) together with the full graphs of their respective dependencies down to the ones that implement cryptographic protocols and algorithms. It also identifies a set of recommendations on the use of and enhancements to OpenStack as pertinent to NFV.

The present document specifies the interfaces used for acceleration resource management on the Nf-Vi reference point of the NFV MANO framework, as well as the information elements exchanged over those interfaces.

The present document specifies a data model for NFV descriptors, using the TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML, fulfilling the requirements specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011 and ETSI GS NFV-IFA 014 for a Virtualised Network Function Descriptor (VNFD), a Network Service Descriptor (NSD) and a Physical Network Function Descriptor (PNFD). The present document also specifies requirements on the VNFM and NFVO specific to the handling of NFV descriptors based on the TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML specification.

The present document specifies the interfaces supported over the Ve-Vnfm-em and Ve-Vnfm-vnf reference points of the NFV-MANO architectural framework ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001 as well as the information elements exchanged over those interfaces.

ISG NFV has developed over 80 different reports and specifications for the virtualisation of network functions. NFV publications describe and specify virtualisation requirements, architecture framework, functional components and their interfaces, as well as the protocols and the APIs for these interfaces. ISG NFV also studies VNF performance, reliability, and resiliency matters, analyses the security challenges linked to virtualisation (trust, attestation, regulation). NFV specifies requirements for Management and Orchestration, for hardware acceleration, etc. And a lot is ongoing!

The present document provides terms and definitions for conceptual entities within the scope of the ISG NFV, in order to achieve a "common language" across all the ISG NFV working groups.

The present document specifies the structure of the Network Service Descriptor (NSD) file archive and the naming conventions for the different files it contains, fulfilling the requirements specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 014 [1] for an NSD file structure.
