Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when such services are deployed in the NFV environment, the service operation information of these VNFs cannot be obtained through EMS
However, only relying on the operation information obtained by VIM, it is impossible to judge the business status of VNF in a complete and timely manner.
For example, when the link bandwidth usage suddenly rises / falls, MANO (Management and Orchestration) in NFV cannot determine the specific cause of the failure, and can only do limited processing, such as switching backups and reporting to OSS in NFV ( Operation Support System (Operation Support System) requests further fault diagnosis, which may lead to an increase in fault processing time, thereby affecting the quality of network service provision

Embodiment 1

[0421] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for obtaining VNF information, which is applied to an NFV system. The NFV system includes at least one VNF and a MANO, and the MANO includes at least two VNFMs and NFVOs;

[0422] Wherein, the at least two VNFMs include a first VNFM and a second VNFM, the first VNFM is a VNF life cycle management unit, wherein the first VNFM establishes a communication connection with the NFVO; the second VNFM is one or more of the VNFs A monitoring management unit of a VNF, wherein the one or more VNFs are called VNFs to be monitored.

[0423] Based on the above MANO structure, the first VNFM plays the same role as the VNFM in the prior art, serving as the life cycle management unit of the VNF; while the second VNFM is newly added and is dedicated to one or more VNFs The monitoring management unit of the VNF, so that the MANO including the second VNFM can obtain the detailed operation information of the monitored VNF by monitoring...

Embodiment 2

[0463] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a method for acquiring VNF information, which is applied to an NFV system, where the NFV system includes at least one VNF and a MANO, and the MANO includes at least two VNFMs and NFVOs;

[0464] Wherein, the at least two VNFMs include a first VNFM and a second VNFM, the first VNFM is a life cycle management unit of the VNF, wherein the first VNFM establishes a communication connection with the NFVO; the second VNFM is the A monitoring management unit of one or more VNFs in the VNF, where the one or more VNFs are called VNFs to be monitored.

[0465] It should be noted that, based on the above-mentioned MANO structure, the first VNFM plays the same role as the VNFM in the prior art, serving as the life cycle management unit of the VNF; while the second VNFM is newly added and is dedicated to the VNF The monitoring and management of one or more VNFs, thus, the MANO including the second VNFM can obtain the detailed operation i...

Embodiment 3

[0486] Embodiment 3 of the present invention provides a method for obtaining VNF information, which is applied to an NFV system. The NFV system includes VNF and MANO, and the MANO includes VNFM and NFVO. VNFM and NFVO establish a communication connection;

[0487] Wherein, when there are at least two VNFs, the at least two VNFs include a first VNF ​​and a second VNF, and the second VNF is the monitoring and management unit of the first VNF, wherein the first VNF ​​is called the VNF to be monitored, and the VNFM It is a life cycle management unit of the second VNF and the VNF to be monitored.

[0488] It should be noted that, in the above MANO structure, the second VNF is newly added and is dedicated to monitoring and management of the monitored VNF. When the second VNF receives the monitoring data of the VNF to be monitored, it can summarize and analyze the monitoring information of the VNF to be monitored. In this case, the MANO including the second VNF can monitor the VNF t...

Abstract

The method, device and system for acquiring VNF information provided by the present invention belong to the communication field. The detailed operation information of the VNF can be obtained, and more comprehensive and accurate data can be provided for determining the cause of the failure, thereby improving the quality of the network service provided. The method in one embodiment of the present invention includes: the second VNFM is a monitoring management unit of one or more VNFs, wherein the one or more VNFs are called VNFs to be monitored; in this case, the method for obtaining information includes: The NFVO instantiates the second VNFM based on the software package of the second VNFM, so that the second VNFM establishes a communication connection with the NFVO; then during monitoring, the NFVO receives the monitoring information sent by the second VNFM after summarizing and analyzing the monitoring data of the VNF to be monitored. The present invention is applicable to wireless communication technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a method, device and system for acquiring VNF information. Background technique [0002] The so-called NFV (Network Function Virtualization, network function virtualization) hopes to realize some network functions in common high-performance servers, switches and storage by drawing on IT virtualization technology. Among them, network functions need to be implemented in software, and can run on general-purpose server hardware. At the same time, operations such as instantiation, elastic scaling, and migration can be automatically performed as needed. [0003] In the existing NFV environment, the running information of VNF (Virtualized Network Function, virtual network function) can be obtained from two paths: [0004] First, through EMS (Element Management System, network element management system), the business operation information of the VNF is obtained, that ...
