Abstract

This deliverable presents the characteristics of the 5GCity virtualization platform and MEC node, which aims at building the city of the future 5G ICT service infrastructure by combining NFV and MEC concepts, extending state of the art virtualization techniques for the execution of virtual machines and for their networking features. In the first part of the document, the project’s approach towards the coexistence of ETSI MEC and NFV standardization activities is explained. The key differences between them are presented, together with the planned activities to make them coexist in the 5GCity infrastructure. Then in Section 3 and Section 4, the computing and the networking virtualization features of the 5GCity infrastructure are detailed. Both Sections start with a description of what is the state of the art of each technology today, in order to introduce and clarify the advancements that will be developed in 5GCity, which are detailed respectively in Sections 3.2 and 4.2. In greater detail, 5GCity computing extensions include unikernels and VMs developments to improve performance, efficiency Unikraft, KVM) and security (EdgeNFVI, EdgeVIM). On the other hand, wireless slicing (RAN and Wi-Fi virtualization), vSwitch acceleration (VOSYSwitch) and MEC service function chaining are part of the project’s networking enhancements presented in this document.

Abstract

It is expected that in the context of 5G networks service provisioning will be benefiting from cloud and software defined architectures the granularity of which will be giving room to ad-hoc (re)configuration of resources for more accurate customization of either well known or on the fly defined services tailored to the varied needs of end users. With self-organizing and autonomic principles being relevant for timely and accurate service provisioning, 5G infrastructure management is expected to be subject to the automated configuration of network resources. With the introduction of Software Defined Networking an entire control application ecosystem can evolve on the basis of features, such as agility, programmability and openness. This paper tries, therefore, to define the basic characteristics of an SDN Orchestrator (SDNO) that allows the lifecycle management of SDN Applications to be utilized for the support of Operation Support Service (OSS) workflows.

Abstract

International audience; To sustain inter-carrier QoS guarantees demanded by future application usages the current Internet has to evolve along two main axes: i) the study, design and implementation of new business models to foster network investments, and ii) the proposal of new architectures and protocols to surmount technical impediments. In the FP7 project ETICS (Economics and Technologies for Inter-Carrier Services) an ecosystem is designed to contribute coherently and effectively to both axes by addressing issues at different levels of network control/management: at a higher level, enhanced Operational Support Systems (OSSs) of network providers will interact to negotiate and commit QoS agreements; at an intermediate level, Network Management Systems (NMSs) will be strengthened to support complex configuration policing; at the control plane level, protocols will be augmented with new features allowing soft or strict QoS guarantees.

Abstract

The convergence between IT and optical network services is a fundamental step to support new emerging applications, typically distributed and with strict requirements in terms of performance and service reliability. The FP7 GEYSERS project has designed a new network architecture capable of joint and on-demand provisioning of ‘Optical Network + Any-IT’ resources for end-to-end service delivery. This service, referred to as Network + IT Provisioning Service (NIPS), is enabled through the cross-layer cooperation between the Service Middleware Layer (SML) and an enhanced Network Control Plane (NCP+) along the overall service lifecycle. This paper describes the GEYSERS NCP+ architecture that extends standard ASON/GMPLS and PCE solutions to operate over a virtual optical network infrastructure and offer on-demand provisioning of enhanced network transport services between virtual IT resources connected to the network edges. In the proposed architecture, some of the functionalities traditionally provided by the SML, like the selection of the IT end-points, are moved to the NCP+ side, allowing global optimization of the utilization of network and IT resources and of energy consumption. Simulation results are provided to evaluate the benefits of the combined computation of IT end-points and network paths, both in terms of reduced service blocking probability and utilization of the infrastructure resources.
