NFV capacity planning method and electronic equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an NFV capacity planning method and electronic equipment. The method comprises the following steps: establishing a multi-layer planning model from top to bottom according to a plurality of capacity requirements, the plurality of capacity requirements comprise a plurality of capacity requirements of a service, a virtual network element VNF, a virtual IT resource and a physical IT resource in an NFV network; based on a target layer in the multi-layer planning model, performing capacity planning on the capacity requirement of the target layer according tothe planning result of the upper layer of the target layer. According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, prediction and planning are carried out in a systematic quantificationmode, each planning link is broken through, the method is more scientific and accurate than manual experience, and real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment can be carried out compared with relativestatic capacity planning under an original physical network element.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of mobile communication technologies, and in particular, to a method for NFV capacity planning and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] NFV (Network Functions Virtualisation) is an emerging mobile communication virtualization technology. The hardware is realized by general IT infrastructure, and the functions of network elements run on the hardware realized by general IT infrastructure through software virtualization, thus realizing physical The decoupling of network element functions and hardware brings great flexibility to mobile network operations and improves resource utilization and O&M efficiency. [0003] At present, major operators around the world are testing and exploring NFV, and large-scale commercial use has not yet been formed. However, because of the many benefits NFV brings to operators, this is an inevitable trend in the future development of mobile networks. Throu...

Problems solved by technology

Traditional NFV capacity planning mainly calculates the required physical network elements and related equipment requirements through the number of supported users. The calculation mainly relies on labor and experience, and lacks systematic methods for accurate and dynamic capacity planning and management.
