Abstract


Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has the potential to change the way in which network cores are built and managed. The NFV-MANO architecture has been widely used by NFV platforms. These platforms use several enablers including cloud platforms. In this respect, the predominance of the OpenStack platform is notable. This work proposes Vines, the first CloudStack solution for the orchestration of virtualized network functions and services. The architecture of Vines allows it to holistically and completely manage the full lifecycle of heterogeneous VNFs (Virtual Network Functions) and SFCs (Service Function Chains). Vines was implemented together with CloudStack, and is publicly available. Results of an empirical evaluation are presenting, confirming the feasibility of the platform, also in comparison with OpenStack/Tacker.
