ETSI GS NFV-INF 004

ETSI GS NFV-INF 004 presents the architecture of the Hypervisor Domain of the NFV Infrastructure which supportsdeployment and execution of virtual appliances. The present document will primarily focus on the use of hypervisor forvirtualisation, due to time and resource constraints, However, the hypervisor requirements are similar if not the same forimplementing linux containers or other methods for virtualisation.

NOTE: From WikiArch: “Linux Containers (LXC) are an operating system-level virtualisation method forrunning multiple isolated server installs (containers) on a single control host. LXC does not provide avirtual machine, but rather provides a virtual environment that has its own process and network space. Itis similar to a chroot, but offers much more isolation”.

There needs to be further research w.r.t to Linux Containers, including developing the ecosystem.

As well as presenting a general overview description of the NFV Infrastructure, the present document sets the NFVinfrastructure and all the documents which describe it in the context of all the documents of the NFV. It also describeshow the documents which describe the NFV infrastructure relate to each other.

The present document does not provide any detailed specification but makes reference to specifications developed byother bodies and to potential specifications, which, in the opinion of the NFV ISG could be usefully developed by anappropriate Standards Developing Organisation (SDO).
