[0164] According to the service chain and the NF description table, sequentially acquire the first instance descriptor set of the network function corresponding to each service node;

[0165] From the first instance descriptor set corresponding to each service node, obtain a second instance descriptor set corresponding to each service node that meets the target throughput;

[0166] In the second instance descriptor set corresponding to each service node, obtain a third instance descriptor set whose maximum capability is greater than the request capability of the service node;

[0167] In the third instance descriptor set corresponding to each service node, obtain a fourth instance descriptor set whose average processing batch value is greater than the peak data volume;

[0168] In the descriptor set of the fourth embodiment corresponding to each service node, according to the utilization rate and / or priority of the acceleration resource of the network function corresponding to...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for configuring a virtual network function. The method comprises steps: a network function configuration request sent by a network management system is received, wherein the network function configuration request contains a network function requirement of a service node; an NF instance file meeting the network function requirement of the service node is acquired from a network function (NF) instance library, wherein the NF instance library comprises an instance file for each service function based on each accelerating device; and according to the acquired NF instance file, network function configuration is carried out on the service node. Thus, network function configuration is carried out on the service node according to the network function requirement in the network function configuration request, the network function performance can be effectively improved, and dynamic configuration of accelerating resources for the network function is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer technology, in particular to a virtual network function configuration method and device. Background technique [0002] Modern networks increasingly rely on various network processing functions, such as security (firewall, intrusion detection system, etc.), traffic shaping (load balancing), network address translation, improving the performance of network applications (traffic accelerators, caches, proxies), etc. Wait. Network devices with these capabilities have become critical network infrastructure, critical to network performance, security, and policy and regulatory compliance requirements. [0003] Since it is difficult for professional equipment to change functions to adapt to changing traffic demands, Network Function Virtualization (English: Network Function Virtualization, NFV for short) leads the network into a new era of virtualization. Network function virtualization implements network functions through so...
