Since K release, a lot of advanced features have been added to openstack, like CPU pinning, NUMA Topology Awareness, Huge Page support etc. In the M release, the real time support is also added to Nova. With all these features, openstack can provide best performance optimization for high performance VM, with exclusively assigned resource and best hardware compute capability utilization.
In this session, we will show how the advanced openstack features help on an important usage scenario, the low latency and high throughput NFV. It has been challenging to achieve low latency and high performance VNF on cloud environment. Packet jitter comes from various factors, like virtualization overhead, not optimized compute node environment, not optimized network topology overhead etc. KVM4NFV project on OPNFV provides low level support for low latency NFV usage, but only with the advanced openstack features, it’s possible to achieve the purpose on OPNFV.
The Telecom/NFV track is brought to you by OpenStack and OPNFV.
The attendees can learn how to utilize advanced openstack features for low latency NFV, and how to utilize them on OPNFV environment.
