VERTEILTES VERWALTUNGSSYSTEM FÜR EIN KOMMUNIKATIONSNETZ, DAS EINE VIELFALT VON VIRTUALISIERTEN NETZFUNKTIONEN UMFASST

摘要

The system comprises a virtual network function executed by a presence point (5, 6, 7) comprising: a routing module (40) connected between a physical port (26) and an internal port (41), the routing module exchanging routing information with other machines in the network; a switching module (50) between the internal port (41) and a plurality of virtual input ports (61, 62, 63); a virtualization module (60); and an instance (71, 72, 73) of the virtual network function, the execution of which is managed by the virtualization module (60), a single virtual input port being associated with said instance, the referral routing module a packet from the internal port to the virtual input port of the virtual network function instance for processing said packet, the software layer (30) further comprising a management and orchestration module (80).
