VNF Components Capability

Priority

1

Summary

The capability to model complex VNFs composed of VNFCs which are scaled independently.

Use Cases

All

R1 Status

Unknown.

R2 Status



Many use cases will include complex VNFs which are composed of several VNF Components, each of which are hosted on multiple virtual servers.

It is necessary to model dependencies and interfaces between VNFCs in a VNF.

It is asserted that a VNF may have any number of VNFCs but a VNFC may support only a single VNF. If a capability is shared between VNFs then it should be modeled as a VNF in a shared Service.
