Industry Trends - Why NFV?


Major Challenges impacting CSP’s

OTT* ThreatJeopardizing CSP’s revenue

● OTT exploding, customer affinity eroding

● New compute platform, new challenges

ARPU* DownARPU* is falling due to:

● Increasing churn● Growing customer acquisition

and retention costs● Net Neutrality regulation

limiting QoS revenue

Lack of AgilityNot able to add VAS* fast enough

● Need Service Agility● While reducing OPEX and

CAPEX

OTT Over The TopARPU Average Revenue Per Unit VAS Value Added Services


Telco Cloud / NFV is about Service AgilityVirtualization Unlocks CSP Business Potential

• Improve service delivery cost structures• Accelerate service innovation and creation• Customer wallet share• New customer segments

NFV Features of Mirantis OpenStack


Mirantis OpenStack Addresses NFV Requirements

● Scalable Cloud● High Performance/Low Latency Compute● Accelerated Virtual Network


Scalable Clouds

• Multi Region• Shared Nothing - Global• Shared Critical Components – Country• Shared Infra - Metro

• Cluster Scale• Out of the Box – 200• Buildable to – 1000• Mirantis and Co-Dev partners roadmap

• Out of the box: 500, 1000, 5000


High Performance/Low Latency Compute

• Guaranteed resources for workloads• Huge Page Support

• Enhances Virtualized Performance• NUMA and IO-NUMA aware

• NUMA/CPU Pinning• Guaranties Resources• Limit Response Jitter • Eliminates Noisy Neighbor


• Ultra-low latency• Very core efficient• Basic Multi-tenancy• Interface dependent

• Flexible• Low Latency• Advanced network

encapsulation• Advanced features: Service

Chaining, Security

Accelerated Virtual Network

Preserve Openness, Provide Choices

Hardware Acceleration – SR-IOV

Software Acceleration - DPDK&


SR-IOV overview

• NIC divides itself into PF and VFs• PF control interface• VF virtual functions

• VF has a at least one RX/TX queue pair• VFs are given to VM as PCI pass-through

devices• Packet classifier on a NIC is used to steer

traffic• Advantages

• DMA into Guest, no host CPU is used to move packets

• No vSwitch latency• Multi-tenancy – VLANs• Anti-spoofing support

• Limitations• No VXLAN in current NIC generation• No Firewall (Need switch ACL integration)• Cannot run OVS on VFs (promisq mode is

required)• Can run vRouter/vRouter-DPDK on the

VF

Demo


Demo Steps:1. Fuel OpenStack Environment Creation and Deployment 2. Fuel automatically detects NICs that support of DPDK,

or SR-IOV 3. Using Fuel to configure SR-IOV and DPDK4. VM instance creation: SR-IOV, DPDK

Demo

Benefits:● Single pane of glass with Fuel● Automated repeatable deployment● Post-deployment operation


Demo: Create OpenStack cluster


Demo: Configure Node Attributes with Fuel

▪ CPU pinningFuel allows configuration of amount of CPU cores on a Compute node that will be dedicated for CPU pinning▪ Huge PagesFuel allows Operator to specify amount of RAM on a Compute node to be dedicated for Huge Pages


Demo: Configure SR-IOV with Fuel

▪ Fuel detects NICs that support SR-IOV enablement and #of VFs supported

▪ Fuel allows Operator to configure NIC as SR-IOV interface

▪ Fuel allows Operator to specify amount of VFs that VMs can consume from this particular NIC

▪ Fuel allows Operator to assign NIC with SR-IOV enabled to a particular physical network


Demo: Configure DPDK with Fuel

▪ Detect NICs that support DPDK▪ Enable DPDK on specific NIC or

bonded interfaces with this NIC▪ Adjust amount of CPU cores and

RAM provided to OVS-DPDK for performance tuning

▪ Fuel deploys DPDK-enabled OVS package and DPDK drivers when Operator selects DPDK features


Demo: Horizon Configuration

● Create VM flavor for NFV workloads

1. Enable CPU pinning2. Enable Huge Pages


Demo: Horizon Configuration

● Spawn SR-IOV VM instance1. Create Neutron port for SR-IOV VM2. attached to port from previous step

● Spawn DPDK VM instance


●Latest Mirantis OpenStack Release - MOS 9.0 coming in July
