Proof of Concept: Subscriber Aware SGi/Gi-LAN Virtualization

Jan 20, 2015

Subscriber Aware SGi/Gi-LAN Virtualization

Introduction

  1. Verifies a subscriber aware method for service chaining intrinsically provided by the NFVI
  2. Demonstrates how the use of a subscriber aware service chaining method applied in the NFVI can enable virtualization of functions on the SGi/Gi interface of a 3GPP mobile network and provide elasticity to VNFs
  3. Shows how each subscriber’s specific service function element chain are selected and composed from a catalogue of individual functions, where the said set of functions can be hosted within a NFVI-PoP or across NFVI-PoPs
  4. Shows by example how virtualization can enable (a) programmability of network driven functions that are selected by subscribers on a self service portal (b) rapid introduction of new functions in the form of VNF’s greatly increasing service deployment velocity
