ETSI’s Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) Industry Specification Group (ISG) announced the publication of eleven specifications under phase 1 of its activity.
The work includes an infrastructure overview, an updated architectural framework, and descriptions of the compute, hypervisor and network domains of the infrastructure. The new specifications also cover management and orchestration, security and trust, resilience and service quality metrics.
The list of phase 1 NFV specifications:
- GS NFV 002 – Architectural Framework
- GS NFV 003 – Terminology for Main Concepts in NFV
- GS NFV-INF 001 – Infrastructure Overview
- GS NFV-INF 003 – Infrastructure; Compute Domain
- GS NFV-INF 004 – Infrastructure; Hypervisor Domain
- GS NFV-INF 005 – Infrastructure; Network Domain
- GS NFV-INF 010 – Service Quality Metrics
- GS NFV-MAN 001 – Management and Orchestration
- GS NFV-REL 001 – Resiliency Requirements
- GS NFV-SEC 003 – NFV Security; Security and Trust Guidance
- GS NFV-SWA 001 – Virtual Network Function Architecture
“I’d like to thank all of the NFV ISG participants for their tremendous dedication through our numerous face-to-face meetings and conference calls to evolve the NFV vision from the original operator whitepaper and bring these documents to publication” said Steven Wright, Chair of ETSI NFV ISG.
