Experimental Demonstration of End-to-end NFV Orchestration on Top of the ADRENALINE Testbed

Abstract

This demonstration will showcase the end-to-end orchestration of virtual network functions in the full-fledged ADRENALINE Testbed Cloud Platform expanding from the edge to the cloud. The Management and Orchestration (MANO) software ETSI OpenSource MANO (OSM) is used to deploy and handle a multi-site network service involving both edge and core Data Centers (DCs). Besides, the inter- and intra-DC connectivity is directly managed by a novel OSM WAN Infrastructure Manager (WIM) connector using the Transport API (TAPI) interface, thus completely abstracting the details of the underlying SDN controllers handling the programmability of the WAN network interconnecting the DCs.
