Abstract:
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a strong technology to support the development of flexible and customizable virtual networks in multi-tenant and multidomain environment. Open issues still exist for architectural, interoperability, design and implementation aspects. The contributions of this paper consist in introducing Open Source MANO OSM framework, present deeper knowledge about Virtual Network Function (VNF) charms and primitives. The objective of this deeper knowledge is accomplished with a proxy charm experiment. Also, a bug fix for proxy charm is presented and other capabilities and possible limitations in different contexts are going to be examined and sorted out for the future works. Towards this aim, this paper continues the authors work and develops new functionalities along with the previous ones and integrates them in a complex network topology using OSM. This work can help the developers implementing NFV systems based on OSM
