Embodiment Construction

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments It is a part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0030] During research, the inventor found that the storage modes of the existing VNF models can be roughly divided into the following three types:

[0031] Local state storage only: Early works on NFV management often assumed that Network Function (NF) state was partitionable, so they did not address the issue of shared state. Some address scaling is only fo...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method in network function virtualization and a VNF device with full storage of a local state and a remote state. The method comprises the following steps that: a state of a virtualized network function is generated; and the states are stored in a local memory and a remote data storage library respectively, the states in the local memory are used for accessing and reading the virtualized network function VNF, and the states in the remote data storage library are used for confirming the states. According to the invention, the fault recovery capability and the capacity shrinkage and expansion capability of the VNF can be improved, the time delay is ensured not to be influenced, and the state synchronization is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of virtualized network functions, in particular to a method in network function virtualization and a VNF device for fully storing local and remote states. Background technique [0002] Network Function Virtualization (NetworkFunction Virtualization, NFV) is proposed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), used for computing, storage and network hardware resources, virtualization and VNF three layers and a management orchestration (Management and Orchestration, MANO) Domains jointly build the NFV system architecture. Virtualized network functions (Virtual Network Function, VNF) are implemented with the proposal of NFV, such as code converters, firewalls, etc., these functions are performed by specialized hardware devices, and they are all converted on software-based devices . [0003] The storage modes of the VNF model in related technologies can be roughly divided into modes of only ...
