The document discusses IPLook's vCore virtualization platform for network functions. It describes how the platform uses standard IT hardware and the Linux operating system to virtualize network functions using KVM virtualization. It supports both proprietary and standard virtualized network functions (VNFs) like virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) and virtualized IP Multimedia Subsystem (vIMS). Key features of the platform include enhanced packet forwarding using DPDK, flexible element management and orchestration with OpenStack, high availability of VNFs using redundancy, and resource pooling and load balancing of VNF instances.

NFV Introduction

4. WWW.IPLOOK.COM
NFV - Service Provider’s appeal
• OPEX and CAPEX saving.
• Reduce dependency on proprietary hardware .
• Expand service choice to include open-standard,
open-platform ingredients, solutions, and software.
• Rapid service deployment and monetization.

IPLook vCore Cloud Platform
Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure
 includes standard IT, high-volume hardware based on the Intel
architecture processors and 10G network interface cards (NICs).
 Red had Linux software execution environment, which includes KVM
(Kernel-based Virtual Machine) and Open vSwitch module, as well as
real-time extensions for virtualization.
Virtualized Network Functions
 IPLook proprietary VNF, covering vEPC and vIMS domain.
 Provide standard 3GPP network node function.
SDN Networking
 Openflow controller liked Open Daylight is used to manager open
vswitch, provides smart traffic steering policy control.
NFV Management and Orchestration
 manages overall VNF deployment and lifecycle.
 solution is provided by *Open Stack*, including compute(Nova),
storage(Swift), image(Glance), orchestration(Heat) and identity services
(Keystone).

 Support 2N VMs hot standby.
 Service Orchestration provides
interface to define VM roles,
active or standby.
 Redundancy Manager is key
component in HA, manages
spare strategy, maintains VNF
registration and monitor VMs
healthy.
 VNF will register to Red Mngr
when booting up. VMs pair-up
take place if they matches the
spare strategy.
 Only active VM provides
service, standby VM switch
over to active when active VM
failure occur.
