Network function virtualization platform based on container

Abstract

The invention relates to a network function virtualization platform based on a container. The network function virtualization platform at least comprises at least one master node and at least one slave node, wherein the master node is configured to allocate a network function based on the container in a master-slave model distributed computing system into which at least two slave nodes are introduced to each slave node in a manner of measuring the characteristics of a network function to be allocated based on interference perception, the characteristics of a load flow of the network function to be allocated, the communication overhead between the slave nodes, the internal processing performance of each slave node and the internal load condition of each slave node.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network virtualization, in particular to a container-based network function virtualization platform. Background technique [0002] Network virtualization is a new trend after the continuous expansion of network scale and the large-scale deployment of various new applications and services. It provides an effective way to solve the current network ossification problem, and greatly improves the flexibility and diversity of the network. In the network virtualization scenario, after pooling physical network resources, they can be flexibly divided and merged, and allocated to users on demand in the form of logical resources. Therefore, users can independently deploy and manage their own virtual networks without caring about the implementation of the underlying physical network. [0003] Traditional network virtualization technologies are mainly implemented by extending network protocols, using encapsulation o...

Problems solved by technology

[0010] In view of the deficiencies of the existing technologies, for example, the OS scheduler's equal CPU strategy will lead to a waste of CPU resources and the performance requirements of some NFs cannot be met, and the static allocation of virtual resources will cause resource waste or violate SLA issues. The present invention provides a container-based network function virtualization platform, the purpose of which is to improve the performance of parallel processing of heterogeneous NF by the system, and provide performance guarantee for heterogeneous flows; the purpose is also to dynamically allocate virtual resources of containers, not only container performance Guaranteed while minimizing resource deployment
