Problems solved by technology

An accelerator card is similar to a network card, easy to use, and has good acceleration performance, but the accelerator card can only be used by a certain X86 server, and cannot be shared by multiple X86 servers
[0006] The goal of NFV is to realize virtualization of different hardware through virtualization technology, so as to realize multi-vendor non-customized solutions. The inserted physical hardware acceleration device can be used to accelerate VNF processing, and various types of physical hardware acceleration devices cannot be virtualized to accelerate VNF processing, and the resource utilization rate is low.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for accelerating processing of VNF. In the invention, an acceleration request for accelerating processing of a virtual network function VNF is received; according to the acceleration request, hardware acceleration capable of accelerating processing for the VNF is determined A device; allocating acceleration resources of the hardware acceleration device to the VNF, and performing accelerated processing on the VNF. The present invention can dynamically select and allocate corresponding hardware acceleration devices for VNFs, thereby realizing virtualization management of hardware acceleration devices 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...
