Reference VNFs - Proposed name for the repository:

Project description:
- The goal of the project is to build reference VNFs that can be used to show how the ONAP platform manages VNFs installation and lifetime management. Reference VNFs can also be used as a means to test the platform itself, e.g. verify whether VNFs on-boarding, deployment, and ONAP closed-loop operations work. Two basic VNFs, namely a virtual firewall and a virtual load balancer (with virtual DNSs), have been provided. One of the The objectives of the project is are to improve, extend and maintain the features of the vFirewall and vLoadBalancer . New reference VNFs will be built to show new functionalities that will be added to the ONAP platform in the next releases.
Scope:
- List of features and functionality functionalities that will be developed:vFirewall
- Allow ONAP to change vFirewall rules during execution
- Filter out traffic based on predefined policies (currently, only port 8080 can receive traffic)
- Report to the DCAE collector per-service/per-port metrics about the traffic going through
- vLoadBalancer
- Common aspects to vFirewall and vLoadBalancerPlatform independence (Rackspace, vanilla Openstack, Azure, ...)
- Visualization tools that allow users to monitor the behavior of the reference VNFs as well as the effect of ONAP closed-loop operations against the VNFs
- Tools that allow users to interact with the reference VNFs (e.g. alter the behavior of a VNF so as to violate predefined policies, in order to trigger ONAP closed-loop operations)
- Password management
- API securing
- Disaster recovery
- High availability
Architecture Alignment:
- How does this project fit into the rest of the ONAP Architecture?
- Please Include architecture diagram if possibleVNFs are managed by ONAP but they are not part of the ONAP architecture. VNFs expose APIs that are used for management (by ONAP) and measurements/faults reports (to ONAP)

- What other ONAP projects does this project depend on?
- Reference VNFs depend on ONAP use cases
- How does this align with external standards/specifications?
- APIs/Interfaces: Reference VNFs export NETCONF and RestCONF APIs that allow ONAP to manage them
- Information/data models: JSON objects are used for bi-directional communication with ONAP. VES is used to report metrics
- Are there dependencies with other open source projects?
- APIs/Interfaces
- Integration Testing
- etc.: vFirewall and vLoadBalancer are based on VPP (FD.io). The NETCONF and RestCONF interfaces depend on the Honeycomb project (FD.io), metrics reporting is based on VES
