A network service development kit supporting the end-to-end lifecycle of NFV-based telecom services

摘要: Ongoing evolutions in the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) area show that software will play an increasingly important role within telecommunication industry. It enables telco providers to faster introduce telecom services, combined with new possibilities optimize and fine-tune operational performance. New virtualization softwarization methods support fine-grained scaling of resources highly-customizable configuration settings. Additionally, multi-datacenter topologies are available deploy Virtual Functions (VNFs) a service consists of. In this context, specialized tools needed for debugging validating deployment, placement, chaining, network before operator deploys production. This demo showcases open-source Software Development Kit (SDK), built NFV-based services throughout their whole lifecycle. During demo, several example VNFs be loaded into SDK environment demonstrate features developer is envisioned use, while either creating or updating services.
