Data plane is one of the most critical elements in any NFVi platform. Yet measuring its performance is extremely challenging, even more so on production platforms. Measuring performance in a production environment usually requires complex hardware and software setups that are intrusive and hard to deploy. In addition it requires the right skills to operate and analyze the results accurately.

Cisco has developed NFVbench, a compact software package that alleviates this major hurdle and enables essential data plane performance benchmarking on any environment – including production environments – with minimal hardware requirements and a minimally intrusive installation. Cisco is open sourcing this tool to help accelerate NFV adoption in the industry by addressing a major pain point – measuring network performance in production. The last release of OPNFV (Oct 2017) includes, for the first time, NFVbench. This first version comes packed with features such as full integration with OpenStack, fully automated RFC-2544 benchmarking with built-in packet paths, multi-chain benchmarking, and many more innovative capabilities.

Join us to learn more about this innovative tool and see why it will become a key enabler of data plane performance benchmarking for NFVi deployments.
