A. VFC-NSLCM calls VFC-GVNFM driver through RESTful api to create VNF. B. VFC-GVNFM invokes VFC-VNFLCM through RESTful api to do the creation(which requires bunch of time) and returns the VNF information(Almost synchronous). ( I. VFC-LCM calls VFC-GVNFM to apply for grant. J. VFC-GVNFM driver invokes VFC-NSLCM to provide the grant info. K. VFC-NSLCM provides grant info along with placement from OOF to VFC-GVNFM driver L. VFC-GVNFM transmits the information to VFC-VNFLCM to go through the following steps for instantiation.) During the creation period(Step B.): C. VFC-NSLCM calls OOF for homing allocation service using the VNF information returned. D. OOF calls POLICY to retrieve related policies for such service/VNF. E. OOF calls AAI to get all available cloud regions or existing instances inside the database. F. OOF processes the homing allocation. G. OOF respond to VFC-NSLCM with the optimal placement. H. VFC-NSLCM stores the data returned by OOF into its database. |
