Description
本发明涉及网络通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种网络服务的部署方法及装置。
网络功能虚拟化(Network Function Virtualization,NFV)技术由全球13个主要电信运营商发起,众多设备商、IT厂商参与。采用NFV技术,可以使得各种类型的网络设备,例如服务器、路由器、存储设备、交换机等设备,都可以通过网络功能虚拟化技术实现软硬件分离。通过使用NFV技术,上述设备可以部署在数据中心、网络节点或者用户家中。
简单地说,NFV技术主要是对网络中的各种具有数据处理能力的计算机的硬件资源进行整合,使这些计算机可以执行通信网络中的设备(例如服务器、路由器、存储设备、交换机等)的功能。在NFV技术中,实体设备虚拟化后所承载的功能可以称为虚拟化网络功能(Virtualized Network Function,VNF)。一个或多个VNF按照特定方式可以组合成网络服务(Network Service,NS)。
在实际的NFV系统中,对于虚拟化网络功能进行管理的设备可以称为网络功能虚拟化编排器(Network Function Virtualization Orchestrator,NFVO)。
申请人发现,现有的NFV技术,一个NFVO只能够在这一个NFVO自身的管理域中部署NS。当一个NFVO需要将NS部署在另外的NFVO的管理域中时,还没有相应的方法可以使用。

为了完成网络服务01及类似网络服务的部署,可以采用本申请实施例的网络服务部署方法。
图2为本申请的网络服务部署方法实施例1的流程图。如图2所示,该方法可以包括:
步骤201:主编排器获取网络服务实例化请求(instantiation request);所述网络服务实例化请求用于请求所述主编排器实例化所述网络服务;
所述网络服务实例化请求中可以携带网络实例化参数。
可选的,所述网络服务实例化请求,可以是由其他设备向所述主编排器发送的,也可以是用户在所述主编排器上输入的。可选的,向主编排器发送网络服务实例化请求的设备可以是OSS或者业务支撑系统(Business support system,BSS)。
需要说明的是,本申请各实施例中的实例化,主要包括VNF实例化或者NS实例化。
VNF实例化是指将VNF软件部署到对应的网络功能虚拟化基础设施(NFVI)上。VNF实例化需要完成为VNF分配相应的计算、存储、网络资源的过程。
NS实例化是指将NS包括的VNF以及虚拟链路(VL)分别进行实例化。VL是指VNF和VNF之间的虚拟链路。VL实例化是指通过分配相应的网络资源建立VNF和VNF之间的虚拟链路,使得VNF和VNF之间能够进行网络连接和交互。
本申请实施例中,所述主编排器具体可以是网络功能虚拟化编排器(Network Function Virtualization Orchestrator,NFVO),也可以是网络服务编
排器(Network Service Orchestrator,NSO),或者可以是资源编排器(Resource Orchestrator,RO)。
本申请实施例中的从属编排器,具体也可以是NFVO、NSO或RO。
实际应用中,所述主编排器与所述从属编排器至少可以有如下几种组合:
所述主编排器具体为网络功能虚拟化编排器,所述从属编排器具体为网络功能虚拟化编排器;
或者,所述主编排器具体为资源编排器,所述从属编排器具体为资源编排器;

可选的,对于不同的网络服务,编排器的角色可以不同。可选的,编排器的角色信息还可以包含在网络服务描述符(Network Service Descriptor,NSD)中。即在NSD中指明该NSD对应的NS部署在哪两个编排器所管理的域中,以及每个编排器对应的角色。所述网络服务实例化请求可以是由其他设备向所述主编排器发送的,也可以是所述主编排器自身根据操作人员输入的操作触发的。
在获取所述网络服务实例化请求之前,可以先完成NSD和虚拟化网络功能程序包(VNF package)的上载。上载完成后,所述主编排器上则存储有NSD和VNF package的信息。
其中,NSD用于描述网络服务,可以被NFVO或NSO或RO用来进行NS的实例化。NS包括一个或多个虚拟化网络功能(Virtualized Network Function,VNF)和虚拟链路(Virtual-link,VL)。NSD可以引用对应的虚拟化网络功能描述符(Virtualized Network Function Descriptor,VNFD),虚拟链路描述符(Virtual-link Descriptor,VLD)。
VNF package是VNF程序包,可以包括VNFD和software image(软件镜像)文件。其中,VNFD和VNF一一对应,描述实现该VNF所需的虚拟资源参数和需求。VNFD主要被虚拟化网络功能管理器(Virtualized Network Function Manager,VNFM),用于建立VNF实例和管理VNF的生命周期。
步骤202:获取网络服务描述信息;所述网络服务描述信息用于表示构成所述网络服务的虚拟化网络功能的属性信息;
所述网络服务描述信息,可以是前面提到的NSD,和/或携带在发送给所述主编排器的网络服务实例化请求中的信息,即网络服务实例化参数。
需要说明的是,如果所述NSD预先已经上载至所述主编排器,则可以直接从所述主编排器自身获取NSD信息;如果所述NSD未预先上载,也可以由其他设备或操作人员将NSD发送至所述主编排器。
步骤203:根据所述网络服务描述信息确定需要部署在所述主编排器的管理域内的一部分虚拟化网络功能;
所述网络服务描述信息中,可以包含对每个VNF对应的域进行描述的信息。即,根据所述网络服务描述信息,可以确定每个VNF需要部署在哪个编排器管理的域中。可选的,本申请实施例中,所述网络服务描述信息中的NS包括的多个VNF至少需要分别部署在两个域中。其中,一部分VNF可以部署在主编排器对应的域,另一部分VNF可以部署在从属编排器对应的域。可选的,所述网络服务描述信息中的NS包括的多个VNF还可以只部署在从属编排器对应的域。
步骤204:实例化所述一部分虚拟化网络功能;
需要部署在所述主编排器的管理域内的一部分虚拟化网络功能,可以由所述主编排器直接实例化。需要部署在从属编排器管理域内的另一部分虚拟化网络功能,则可以由所述主编排器将相关信息告知从属编排器,由从属编排器进行部署。其中,由从编排器进行部署的虚拟化网络功能可以定义为第一虚拟化网络功能,由主编排器进行部署的虚拟化网络功能可以定义为第二虚拟化网络功能。
所述相关信息可以包括主编排器的ID,或所述主编排器管理域的ID。可选的,相关信息还可以包括NSD ID,需要从属编排器实例化的VNF对应的VNFD ID、这些VNF所在的NS实例的ID以及其它与部署VNF相关的限制条件。这些信息可以由主编排器单独发给从属编排器,也可以由主编排器向从属编排器发送VNF实例化请求时,在实例化请求消息中携带。
步骤205:根据所述网络服务描述信息确定需要部署在从属编排器的管理域内的另一部分虚拟化网络功能;
步骤206:向所述从属编排器发送VNF实例化请求;所述VNF实例化请求用于请求所述从属编排器对所述另一部分虚拟化网络功能进行实例化;
所述VNF实例化请求中包括所述主编排器的ID,或所述主编排器管理域的ID。可选的,还可以包括NSD ID、需要从编排器实例化的VNF对应的VNFD ID、需要从编排器实例化的VNF所在的NS实例的ID,或其它与部署VNF相关的限制条件。其中,所述主编排器与所述从属编排器分别管理不同的域。
综上所述,本实施例中,通过获取网络服务描述信息;根据所述网络服务描述信息确定需要部署在所述主编排器的管理域内的一部分虚拟化网络功能;实例化所述一部分虚拟化网络功能;根据所述网络服务描述信息确定需要部署在从属编排器的管理域内的另一部分虚拟化网络功能;向所述从属编排器发送VNF服务实例化请求;可以通过主编排器与从属编排器之间的信息交互,实现NS的跨域部署。
需要说明的是,实际应用中,所述主编排器向所述从属编排器发送VNF实例化请求之后,所述从属编排器可以对所述另一部分虚拟化网络功能进行实例化。对所述另一部分虚拟化网络功能实例化完毕以后,所述从属编排器可以向主编排器发送实例化完成通知信息。相应的,所述主编排器还可以:
获取所述从属编排器反馈的实例化完成通知信息;
根据所述实例化完成通知信息更新网络功能虚拟化实例目录(NFV Instances catalogue)和网络功能虚拟化基础设施资源目录(NFVI resources catalogue)。其中,所述网络功能虚拟化实例目录主要用于记录实例化的NS实例和VNF实例的相关信息,所述网络功能虚拟化基础设施资源目录主要用于记录实例化的VNF所占用的虚拟资源信息。
还需要说明的是,实际应用中,当从属编排器负责的管理域中的VNF使用的虚拟资源需要进行调整(扩缩容,英文称为scaling)时,从属编排器可以向主编排器申请扩缩容。在收到主编排器的授权或确认后,从属编排器再对该VNF进行扩缩容。所述扩缩容包括扩容和缩容。扩容意为增加资源,缩容为减少资源。在对从属编排器负责的管理域中的VNF进行扩缩容的过程中,所述主编排器可以执行以下步骤:
主编排器获取从属编排器发送的扩缩容请求;所述扩缩容请求用于请求对实例化后的所述另一部分虚拟化网络功能进行扩缩容;
确定允许所述扩缩容请求;
向所述从属编排器发送扩缩容请求确认消息。
上述步骤中,主编排器获取从属编排器发送的扩缩容请求后,可以根据策
略判断是否允许所述扩缩容请求,如果允许则向所述从属编排器发送扩缩容请求确认消息;如果不允许,可以向所述从属编排器发送扩缩容请求拒绝消息。
还需要说明的是,实际应用中,当从属编排器需要对其负责的管理域中的已经实例化的VNF进行其它生命周期管理操作时,如软件更新和升级、实例终止、实例修改等操作。从属编排器需要向主编排器申请授权,可以是每次进行VNF生命周期管理操作时,从属编排器都向主编排器进行申请,也可以是由主编排器发送一个策略给从属编排器,从属编排器根据该策略进行相关的VNF生命周期管理操作。
从属编排器在每次执行完VNF生命周期管理操作后,都要给主编排器发送VNF生命周期变化通知。
图3A为本申请的另一种NFV系统的架构示意图。图3B为本申请的再一种NFV系统的架构示意图。图3A和图3B所示的系统架构与图1所示的系统架构相比,区别在于,将网络功能虚拟化编排器拆分成两个模块:网络服务编排器(Network Service Orchestrator,NSO)和资源编排器(Resource Orchestrator,RO)。以图1和图3A中的具体示例来说,即将网络功能虚拟化编排器101拆分成了网络服务编排器303和资源编排器301,将网络功能虚拟化编排器102拆分成了网络服务编排器304和资源编排器302。
其中网络服务编排器负责网络服务的生命周期管理,资源管理编排器负责虚拟资源管理。
图3A中,资源编排器301与资源编排器302之间具有通信链路。图3B中,网络服务编排器303与网络服务编排器304之间具有通信链路。
需要说明的是,本申请中,当主编排器与从属编排器为网络功能虚拟化编排器,或者主编排器与从属编排器为网络服务编排器,或者主编排器与从属编排器为资源编排器时,均可以执行或采用本申请实施例中的网络服务部署方法。
