Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for implementing acceleration processing on a virtual network function (VNF). In the present invention, an acceleration request for performing acceleration processing on the VNF is received; a hardware acceleration device that can perform acceleration processing on the VNF is determined according to the acceleration request; an acceleration resource of the hardware acceleration device is allocated to the VNF for performing the acceleration processing on the VNF. The present invention can dynamically select and allocate the corresponding hardware acceleration device for the VNF, thereby implementing virtual management of the hardware acceleration device and improving resource utilization.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of network technology, in particular to a method and device for realizing accelerated processing of VNF (virtual Network Function, virtual network function). Background technique [0002] NFV (Network Function Virtualization, Network Function Virtualization) technology replaces dedicated network element devices in communication networks with x86 servers, storage devices and switching devices based on industry standards, which can save investment costs for operators and help operators Obtain more and more flexible network capabilities, so NFV technology is more and more widely used. [0003] figure 1 Shown is the architecture diagram 100 of the NFV system, represented by figure 1 It can be seen that VNF ​​(virtual Network Function, virtual network function) runs on the NFV system in the form of software, and NFVI (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure, network function virtualization architecture) in...
