Problems solved by technology

However, the problem of software modification can arise due to non-backward compatible interfaces, and indeed this can occur not only due to architectural changes, but also due to changes in standard specifications or the standardization of application programming interfaces (APIs) that are not yet standardized
For example, a VNF managed by an S-VNFM can only interact with its S-VNFM, and that S-VNFM cannot be easily replaced by a G-VNFM without affecting the operation of the VNF or service in general

Abstract

A technique is disclosed for replacing a source virtualized network function manager (VNFM) that manages a source VNF by a target virtualized network function manager (VNFM) in a virtualized network function (VNF)-based environment. A method implementation of the technique comprises the steps of triggering (S302) instantiating a target VNF, the target VNF being managed by a target VNFM and executed in parallel with a source VNF; triggering (S304) redirecting the traffic from the source VNF to the target VNF according to the traffic redirection schedule; triggering (S306) termination of the source VNF when redirection of the traffic from the source VNF to the target VNF is completed; and triggering (S308) the termination source VNFM.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to virtualized network function (VNF) based environments. Specifically, a technique is proposed for replacing a source VNFM managing a source VNF by a target virtualized network function manager (VNFM) in a VNF-based environment. The techniques may be embodied in methods, computer programs, apparatus and systems. Background technique [0002] Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has evolved into a network architecture concept that uses virtualization techniques to virtualize classes of network functions into functional blocks that can be connected or chained together to create network services. In traditional networks, network function implementations are often tightly coupled to the physical infrastructure on which they operate. NFV decouples the software implementation of network functions from the computing, storage, and network resources they use, and virtualization isolates network functions from these r...
