Hi

In my opinion the first and foremost requirement for NFV ( which is from 
carrier class ) is 99.99999 ( 5 nines ) reliability.
If we want OpenStack architecture to scale to Carrier class below are basic 
thing we need to address.

1. There should be a framework from open-stack to support 5 nine level 
reliability  to Service/Tennant-VM . ? ( Example for Carrier Class NAT Service/ 
SIP Service/HLR/VLR service/BRAS service)
AK--> I believe what is important is for Openstack to support various degrees 
of configurations for a given tenant network. The reliability of the network is 
outside of Openstack, but where Openstack plays a role here imho is for check 
and validation of the network when its been provisioned and configured. 
Similarly for VM to ensure we have sufficient check and validation 
(watchdogs/event call backs etc etc) so that we can "expose faults and act on 
them".

Keshava: In order to provide the reliability to Service/Tenant-VM don't   you 
agree open-stack network also has to be reliable ? 
           Without OpenStack having network reliability to extend of 5 nine can 
we give the same to  Service/Tenant-VM ?

2. They also should be capable of 'In-service up gradation" (ISSU) without 
service disruption.
AK--> Fully agree, its imperative to be able to upgrade Openstack without any 
service interruption.

3. OpenStack itself should ( its own Compute Node/L3/Routing,  Controller )  
have (5 nine capable) reliability.
AK--> If we are referring to Openstack controllers/agents/db's etc then yes 
makes perfect sense, I would however stop short on saying you can achieve 5 
nine's in various ways and its typically up to the vendors themselves how they 
want to implement this even in OS.

Keshava: I think we better to talk with one of the Tennant-VM hosted on 
OpenStack as example discuss more about this. So that it will be clear and we 
will have common language to speak.

If we can provide such of infrastructure to NFV then we think of adding rest of 
requirement .

Let me know others/NFv people opinion for the same.



Thanks & regards,
Keshava.A

There is a weekly meeting for the Service VM project [1], I hope some 
representatives from the NFB sub-project can make it to this meeting and 
participate there.

Thanks,
