Energy saving control method, management server and network equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses an energy-saving state method, a management server and network equipment. The method includes: the NFVO determines the current value of the energy efficiency state parameter of the first NF, and the energy efficiency state parameter is a parameter configured for the first NF; the NFVO sends the first indication information to the management node of the first resource, wherein the first indication information includes The current value is used to instruct the management node to set the energy saving state of the first resource as the energy saving state indicated by the current value, and the first resource is a resource implementing the first NF. In the embodiment of the present invention, through the transfer of the value of the energy efficiency state parameter of the first NF between the NFVO and the resource management node, the energy saving state of the first NF and the first resource implementing the first NF are adjusted to be consistent, thereby solving the problem in the NFV field During energy-saving control, it is difficult to coordinate control between NF and the resources that realize NF.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of network function virtualization, and more specifically, relate to an energy saving control method, a management server and a network device. Background technique [0002] Network Functions Virtualization (Network Functions Virtualization, NFV) aims to adopt the virtualization technology in the evolving information technology (Information Technology, IT) field to unify a large number of network device types into high-capacity servers, switches and storage devices that meet industry standards It can be implemented on the Internet, thereby changing the way network operators build and operate networks and network services (Network Service, NS). NFV changes the architecture of the network by implementing network functions through software that can run on a series of industry-standard server hardware, and because these software can be dynamically moved or instantiated in different locations in t...

Problems solved by technology

In NFV, because the NF and the resources that implement the NF are separated from each other, for example, the business load of the VNF is controlled by the NFVO, and the resources that implement the VNF are managed by the VIM. During energy-saving control, it will be difficult to coordinate the control of the NF and the resources that implement the NF.
