This page shows the differences between the current clean version model with ETSI IFA011 v2.5.1 and other proposed changes:

| Attribute |
| description | String | 1 | Human readable description of the DF. | OpenModelAttribute
| Attribute |
| vduProfile | VduProfile | 1..* | Describes additional instantiation data for the VDUs used in this flavor. | OpenModelAttribute
| Association |
| virtualLinkProfile | VirtualLinkProfile | 0..* | Defines the internal VLD along with additional data which is used in this DF. NOTE 1: This allows for different VNF internal topologies between DFs. NOTE 2: virtualLinkProfile needs to be provided for all VLs that the CPs of the VDUs in the VDU profiles connect to. | OpenModelAttribute
| Association |
| instantiationLevel | InstantiationLevel | 1..* | Describes the various levels of resources that can be used to instantiate the VNF using this flavour. Examples: Small, Medium, Large.
