The document outlines the role and focus areas of the ETSI NFV Testing (TST) Working Group, which includes testing NFV functional blocks, creating interoperability guidelines, and addressing gaps with open-source projects. It details various testing specifications and methodologies developed by the group, including assessments of performance, reliability, and guidelines for VNF snapshots and DevOps integration. The document also highlights collaboration with open-source projects and presents the outcomes of ETSI NFV plugtests involving multiple participating companies.
Connection points between opnfv and etsi nfv tst working group
- 2. Connection Points Between OPNFV and ETSI NFV TST Working Group Lynch Pierre (TST WG Chair) Gergely Csatari (TST WG Contributor)
- 3. 3 What is NFV TST WG? TST is one of several working groups under the ETSI NFV Industry Specification Group (ISG) • A productive and collaborative team (albeit being relatively small compared to other working groups) • Participants include telecom operators, vendors and testing companies
- 4. 4 TST Areas of Focus • Testing the NFV functional blocks: VNF, MANO and NFVI • Creating NFV Proof of Concept (PoC) and Interoperability guidelines • Analyzing gaps between open source projects and the ETSI NFV architecture
- 5. TST001 – Pre-deployment Testing • Assessing the performance of the NFVI and its ability to fulfil the performance and reliability requirements of the VNFs executing on the NFVI. • Data and control plane testing of VNFs and their interactions with the NFV Infrastructure and the NFV MANO. • Validating the performance, reliability and scaling capabilities of Network Services. • NFVI pre-deployment validation part was developed in cooperation with OPNFV Yardstick Published
- 6. TST002 – Report on NFV Interop. Testing Methodology • Guidelines for NFV interoperability testing • Generic System Under Test (SUT) architecture for NFV • Initial SUT configurations • Interoperability feature areas Published
- 7. 7 TST003 – Open source components Identifying gaps between OpenStack NBI and IFA005/IFA006 Published
- 8. 8 TST004 – Path implementation testing • Guidelines for test plan on path implementation through NFVI • SUT options • Function placement • SDN application type • SDN controller type • Metrics • VNFC instantiation time • Path instantiation • 1st packet latency • Std pkt transfer measurements • Procedures • Examples Published
- 9. • Report on use cases and recommendations for VNF Snapshot • Use cases: • Testing • Troubleshooting • Lifecycle management • During VNF lifecycle procedure • Quick VNF recovery • Gap Analysis with existing solutions • Framework, procedures and solutions • Recommendations to IFA specifications • Policies, Fct Reqs on MANO, Ref Points VNF Instance VNF Snapshot Package VNF Snapshot external location Create VNF Snapshot Revert VNF Snapshot Create VNF Snapshot Package Extract VNF Snapshot Package Export VNF Snapshot Package Import VNF Snapshot Package TST005 – VNF Snapshot report Published
- 10. • Usage of DevOps and CI/CD in Telco environment • Focus on the handoff of VNF • Background and overview • Use cases • Supplier • Operator • Validator • Test procedures • Recommendations for package description enhancements DevOps pipeline, VNF1 supplier part VNF OperatorVNF1 Supplier DevOps pipeline, VNF2 supplier part VNF2 Supplier DevOps pipeline, VNF operator part TST006 – DevOps and CI/CD Draft
- 11. • Interoperability Testing Guidelines for NFVI-VIM, MANO and VNF • Detailed collection of test descriptions for most functionality • Based on TST002 and 1st NFV Plugtests Test Plan TST007 – Guidelines for interop Draft
- 12. • Compute, Networking and Memory metrics for NFVI • Each Metric: • Name & Background • Parameters & Scope • Units & Method of Measurement • Definition • Sources of Error, Discussion • Will be referenced by IFA027 • Compute: Processor usage, utilization • Network: Packet, Octet, Dropped Packet, Errored Packet Counts • Memory: Buffered, Cached, Free, Slab • Done in cooperation with OPNFV Barometer TST008 – NFVI Compute and Network Metrics Specification Published
- 13. • Vendor-agnostic definitions of performance metrics and the associated methods of measurement for Benchmarking networks supported in the NFVI • Intended to serve as a basis for fair comparison of different implementations of NFVI • Possible cooperation with OPNFV vsperf TST009 – Testing Specification of Networking Benchmarks and Measurement Methods for NFVI Draft
- 14. ETSI NFV Plugtests • Interoperability Test Sessions • Among different combinations of Functions Under Test (FUTs) • 3 types of FUTs: VNFs, MANO, NFVI&VIM • At a functional level (conformance not enforced) • Validate basic NFV Rel 2 capabilities: • NSD, VNF Package and SW Image Management • NS and VNF Life Cycle Management, VR Management • “Early” Plugtest • Stage 3 incomplete • IOP through open APIs, plugins, … • …and remote integration
- 15. ETSI NFV Plugtests • 31 participating companies or organisations including OPNFV • 35 Functions Under Test (commercial and open source): • 15 VNFs, • 9 MANOs, • 11 NFVI&VIM • Several supporting open source communities: • ETSI OSM, • Open Baton, • OPNFV, • Open-O
- 16. ETSI NFV Plugtests results Deliverables: • A Test Plan was prepared • Test results were reported • An overall Report was created

- 20. ETSI NFV TST interworking with open source • Testing is a natural area for collaboration between ETSI NFV and open source projects • ETSI NFV is happily doing test plans, reports and specification and let the open source projects to do the implementations • TST WG is looking for feedback on ETSI NFV, but there is also a bug tracker
