Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the treatment technology of the communications field, more particularly to a kind of manager for virtualizing network function
Method, the network equipment and system.
Background technology
In the management domain of wireless telecommunication system, NMS (Network Management System
- NMS) interface between Element management system (Element Management System-EMS) claims
For northbound interface (Itf-N).EMS mainly completes ITU (International Telecommunication Union
- International Telecommunication Union) TMN (Telecommunications Management Network- telecommunication management networks
Network) in NE management layer (EML) function, that is, complete the management function of one or more mobile communication equipments,
The EMS being typically different between equipment supplier can not be general.NMS mainly completes the network in ITU TMN
Management level (NML) function, is responsible for the management of all network elements in a managed network.(claim for managed network
For subnet) in there is a situation where multiple equipment supplier, can by respective EMS management reach management it is whole
The purpose of individual subnet.
At present, in order to improve the flexibility of communication network, management cost is reduced, is initiated to propose by operator
Network function virtualizes (Network Functions Virtualization-NFV) concept, is using NFV
In the case of technology, physical NE equipment originally is by virtualization network function (Virtualized Network
Function-VNF) replace so that network function is decoupled with particular hardware, and after network function virtualization
One benefit is, with the change of the service condition of network, can dynamically to adjust the VNF of network consisting business
Resource used in example, i.e., stretched to VNF examples, to provide the utilization rate of resource, and reaches section
The purpose of energy.The automatic triggering stretched for VNF examples, there is kinds of schemes at present, can be real by VNF
The example automatic telescopic function module of itself decides whether to be stretched according to the behavior pattern of its own；Can also
VNF automatic telescopic functions module on VNFM is according to VNF examples and the performance data of the resource of correlation
Decide whether to stretch to VNF examples；VNF automatic telescopic function modules that can also be on EMS
Decided whether to stretch to VNF examples according to VNF performance data；Can also in NMS aspects,
Decided whether to pair according to VNF performance data by the VNF automatic telescopic functions module on NMS
VNF examples are stretched.So, when different levels each VNF example automatic telescopic functions module all
In action, it is possible to situation about conflicting occur.In addition, when operator is carrying out System Expansion,
The dilatation of network service or VNF dilatation typically can be first carried out, but portfolio may not come up quickly,
Like this, if automatic telescopic function is in operation, the dilatation that operator may be in advance carried out again from
Dynamic capacity reducing, so, when coming in portfolio, dilatation again again causes meaningless waste.In addition,
When preparing emergency preplan for major event (such as ball match, concert), interim dilatation can be also carried out,
Such dilatation, it is also desirable to which guarantee does not carry out capacity reducing by automatic telescopic.
