vduIdIdentifier1

Unique identifier of this Vdu in VNFD.

support: MANDATORY
nameString1Human readable name of the Vdu.support: MANDATORY
descriptionString1Human readable description of the Vdu.support: MANDATORY
vduCpdVduCpd/VDUCPDesc1..NDescribes network connectivity between a VNFC instance (based on this Vdu) and an Virtual Link (VL).support: MANDATORY
virtualComputeDescIdentifier (reference to VirtualComputeDesc)1Describes CPU, Memory and acceleration requirements of the Virtualisation Container realising this Vdu.support: MANDATORY
virtualStorageDescIdentifier (reference to VirtualStorageDesc)0..NDescribes storage requirements for a VirtualStorage instance attached to the virtualisation container created from virtualComputeDesc defined for this Vdu.support: MANDATORY
bootOrderKeyValuePair/NameValuePair0..N

Boot order of valid boot devices.

NOTE: If no boot order is defined the default boot order defined in the VIM or NFVI shall be used.

support: MANDATORY

valueRange: "key/name" indicates the the boot index (lowest index defines highest boot priority). "value" references a descriptor from which a valid boot device is created e.g. VirtualStorageDesc from which a VirtualStorage instance is created.

swImageDescSwImageDesc

0..1

Editor's note: the scenario of using "0" needs to be clarified.

Describes the software image which is directly loaded on the virtualisation container realising this Vdu.

NOTE: More software images can be attached to the virtualisation container using VirtualStorage resources.

support: MANDATORY
nfviConstraintKeyValuePair/NameValuePair0..N

Describes constraints on the NFVI for the VNFC instance(s) created from this Vdu. For example, aspects of a secure hosting environment for the VNFC instance that involve additional entities or processes.

NOTE: These are constraints other than stipulating that a VNFC instance has access to a certain resource, as a prerequisite to instantiation. The attributes virtualComputeDesc and virtualStorageDesc define the resources required for instantiation of the VNFC instance.

support: MANDATORY

valueRange: "key/name" includes "AvailabilityZone", "HostAggregates".

monitoringParameterMonitoringParameter0..NDefines the virtualised resources monitoring parameters on VDU level.support: MANDATORY
configurablePropertiesVnfcConfigurableProperties1Describes the configurable properties of all VNFC instances based on this VDU.support: MANDATORY
injectFilesString0..NDescribes the information (e.g. URL) about the scripts, config drive metadata, etc. which can be used during Vdu booting process.support: MANDATORY

logicalNodeRequirements

KeyValuePair/NameValuePair

0..N

The logical node-level compute, memory and I/O requirements. An array of key-value pairs that articulate the deployment requirements.

This could include the number of CPU cores on this logical node, a memory configuration specific to a logical node (e.g. such as available in the Linux kernel via the libnuma library) or a requirement related to the association of an I/O device with the logical node.

support: MANDATORY

Class: Cpd/CPDesc

Attribute NameTypeMultiplicityDescriptionApplied Stereotypes

cpdId

Identifier

1

Identifier of this Cpd information element.

support: MANDATORY

cpRole

String

0..1

Identifies the role of the port in the context of the traffic flow patterns in the VNF or parent NS.

For example a VNF with a tree flow pattern within the VNF will have legal cpRoles of ROOT and LEAF.

support: MANDATORY

description

String

0..1

Provides human-readable information on the purpose of the CP (e.g. CP for control plane traffic).

support: MANDATORY

cpProtocol

CpProtocolData

1..N

Identifies the protocol layering information the CP uses for connectivity purposes and associated information. There shall be one cpProtocol for each layer protocol as indicated by the attribute layerProtocol.

Editor's note: the attribute "layerProtocol" still needs further discussion and not included in this table.

support: MANDATORY

trunkMode

Boolean

1

Information about whether the CP instantiated from this CPD is in Trunk mode (802.1Q or other).

support: MANDATORY
