Let me just add that the physical-virtual function comparisons *should* be a part of this where it makes sense - but for VNF configurations which do not match-up we should be able to say why. Also, I've seen the "tenant" terminology applied at a fairly high level of participation in cloud computing environments - below are "active" tenants who have requested some number of VMs to serve their apps. But now things become more vague (cloudy?) because the design of the VNF and it's components could serve multiple parties, span multiple VMs, etc. Al ________________________________________ From: bmwg [bmwg-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Muhammad Durrani [mdurrani@Brocade.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 3:27 AM To: Bhavani Parise; bmwg@ietf.org Subject: Re: [bmwg] draft-morton-bmwg-virtual-net-00 Hi Bhavani, - do we need to consider or compare performance with the real/physical network vs. the virtual network - in 3.2 do we need Virtual Switch [MD] We do need to provide methodologies to benchmark for three architectures vSwitch/SR-IOV and PCI bypass. Regarding comparing performance only PCI bypass can be compared with physical world. Again we are not benchmarking networks here but the virtual appliance and wherever needed comparison will be laid out for both Physical and virtual appliance. for 3.2 how about load balancers, firewalls - do we need to consider, what kind of DPI - firewalls - stateful vs stateless [MD] Virtual appliance is broader term - it means virtual Load balancer and firewalls (both state full and stateless) We won't be suggesting "kind of DPI" - Standard method will be provided to qualify appliance for any type of DPI Regards, Muhammad -----Original Message----- From: bmwg [mailto:bmwg-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Bhavani Parise Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 12:03 AM To: bmwg@ietf.org Subject: [bmwg] draft-morton-bmwg-virtual-net-00 Al, including the WG list also for my comments/Qs for this draft. These are a few things which we can look into including as considerations for this draft. - also for 3.2 - for VNF itself, do we need location of the VNF - guest VM,separate process, appliance etc - - what kind of considerations we need to note when testing a Virtual Firewall Function - how many Tenants can a VNF support? - for 3.3 - how about VM mobility or VNF mobility itself thanks, Bhavani ________________________________________ _______________________________________________ bmwg mailing list bmwg@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/bmwg _______________________________________________ bmwg mailing list bmwg@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/bmwg
