Distributed NFV & OpenStack: Challenges and Potential Solutions

Review and proposed next steps for challenges BT found with OpenStack for Distributed NFV use cases. At SDN World Congress last year, Peter Willis of British Telecom presented a set of challenges that are preventing BT from using OpenStack for Distributed NFV deployments – specifically for virtual CPE or vBranch use case. 

This session will explore more about the challenges and attempts to identify near-term and long-term solutions. The solutions will range from creative ways of leveraging Linux capabilities, selective use of OpenStack, and other open source projects like OpenDayLight in the short term and identify promising OpenStack blueprints and projects for longer-term solutions.

The Telecom/NFV track is brought to you by OpenStack and OPNFV.

 


What can I expect to learn?

This session will be delivered as a talk that provides details for each of top six challenges followed by a set of potential solutions - both short and longer term solutions for each. The attendees will gain an understanding of

  • Requirements for the virtual CPE use case
  • Top six challenges or inhibitors to using OpenStack at the network edge
  • Possible short term solutions for each of these challenges
  • Promising blueprints & proposals for addressing these in the longer term
