Description

一种网络服务描述符上架方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及网络通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种网络服务描述符上架方法及装置。
背景技术
网络功能虚拟化(Network Function Virtualization,NFV)是电信网络运营商通过借鉴互联网技术(Internet Technology,IT)领域的网络虚拟化技术,利用通用的服务器、路由器和存储器实现部分电信网络功能的技术。这种技术需要电信网络功能以软件方式实现,将软件和硬件解耦,并能在通用的服务器路由器和存储器等硬件上运行,同时根据需要自动化地进行网络服务(Network Service,NS)或虚拟化网络功能(Virtualized Network Function,VNF)的实例化、弹性伸缩、迁移等操作。
现有的NFV系统包括VNF、NFV基础设施(NFV Infrastructure,NFVI)、管理和编排(Management and Orchestration,MANO)。其中,MANO包括:虚拟化基础设施管理器(Virtualized Infrastructure Manager,VIM)、NFV编排器(NFV Orchestrator,NFVO)、VNF管理器(VNF Manager,VNFM)。NFVO负责对NS进行生命周期管理,并对整个NFV系统的虚拟化资源(包括硬件资源和软件资源)进行编排和管理。
网络服务描述符(Network Service Descriptor,NSD)的上架过程是指将NS在网络服务目录表(Network Service Catalog,NS Catalog)中登记注册,确保NSD以及组成NS的VNF包信息在Catalog中可用。申请人经过研究发现,现有技术中的NSD上架方法只适用于单NFVO管理域的NS部署,或者说在同一个NFVO管理域内的NS部署。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,以便包含一系列单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于那些单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它单元。
目前,NFV的标准化工作聚焦在MANO功能中,如图1所示,为MANO的详细架构,包括:VIM、NFVO、VNFM。NFVO负责对NS进行生命周期管理,并对整个NFV系统的虚拟化资源(包括硬件资源和软件资源)进行编排和管理。此外,MANO还包括:NS Catalog、VNF目录表(VNF Catalog)、NFV实例(Instances)、NFVI资源(Resources)。可选的,NS Catalog和VNF Catalog包括在NFVO中。其中:
NS Catalog:存储所有已经上架(on-board)的NSD信息。
VNF Catalog:存储所有已经上架的VNF软件包(VNF Packages)。可选的,VNF软件包包括VNF描述符(VNF Descriptor,VNFD)、虚拟机镜像。VNF包的上架过程是指将VNF包在VNF Catalog中登记注册,确保元数据VNFD以及组成VNF包的软件映像信息(VNF image)在Catalog中可用。
NFV Instances:存储所有正在运行的NS、VNF等实例的状态信息,如分配的网络地址、操作记录等。
NFVI Resources:存储所有NFVI资源的状态,包括可用的或者已预留的或者已分配的NFVI资源。
在实际的NFV MANO应用中,NFVO的管理域和运营商网络管理域存在一定的映射关系。例如:对于中小国家的运营商,一个NFVO的管理域能映射到该运营商的全国网络;而对于中国、美国这样的超级大国的运营商,一个NFVO的管理域可能只能映射到一个省份公司的网络。
在某些应用场景中,例如,在全球性企业的企业网中采用NFV技术,或者对海啸地震活动带地区的VNF选择非活动带的VNF进行可靠性容灾备份(活动带与非活动带通常跨越不同的国家或者跨越不同省份)时,需要将NS部署在不同的NFVO管理域。如图2所示,两个不同管理域的NFVO(NFVO1和NFVO2)通过水平方向接口(图2中NFVO1和NFVO2之间的粗线)完成跨NFVO管理域的NS的部署。在图中,VNF1、VNF2、VNF3、VNF4共同组成一个NS1,其中VNF1~VNF3部署在NFVO1管理域内,VNF4部署在NFVO2管理域内。
下面将通过实施例的方式对本申请的技术方案进行详细描述。
为描述方便,本发明实施例以一个主编排器和一个从编排器为例,但是,基于本申请的方案,一个主编排器和多个从编排器的应用场景也在本申请方案保护范围内,需要说明的是,主编排器与从编排器分别管理不同的管理域。另外,主编排器和从编排器可以为NFVO,或者,网络服务编排器(Network Service Orchestrator,NSO)。NSO是将一个NFVO实体拆分后得到的子编排器,负责网络服务的管理与编排。NFVO实体拆分后的另一个子编排器是资源编排器(Resource Orchestrator,RO),主要负责虚拟资源的管理和编排。
以主编排器与从编排器均为NFVO为例,如图2所示,可以设置NFVO1为主编排器,NFVO2为从编排器,在图中,NS1包括四个VNF,即VNF1、VNF2、VNF3和VNF4,每个VNF对应于传统非虚拟化网络中的物理网络功能(Physical Network Function,PNF),如虚拟化的演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)节点,可选的,所述EPC节点为移动管理实体(Mobile Management Entity,MME)或服务网关(Serving Gate Way,SGW)或公用数据网网关(Public Data Network Gate Way,PGW),其中VNF1~VNF3部署在NFVO1的管理域内,VNF4部署在NFVO2的管理域内。
