  text: "Developing a virtualized network service does not only involve the\r\n  implementation
    and configuration of the network functions it is\r\n  composed of but also its
    integration and test with management\r\n  solutions that will control the service
    in its production\r\n  environment. These integration tasks require testbeds that
    offer the\r\n  needed network function virtualization infrastructure~(NFVI), like
    OpenStack, introducing a\r\n  lot of management and maintenance overheads. Such
    testbed setups\r\n  become even more complicated when the multi\r\n  point-of-presence~(PoP)
    case, with multiple infrastructure\r\n  installations, is considered.\r\n\r\n
    \ In this demo, we showcase an emulation platform that executes\r\n  containerized
    network services in user-defined multi-PoP\r\n  topologies. The platform does
    not only allow network service developers to\r\n  locally test their services
    but also to connect real-world\r\n  management and orchestration solutions to
    the emulated PoPs. During our\r\n  interactive demonstration we focus on the integration
    between\r\n  the emulated infrastructure and state-of-the-art orchestration\r\n
    \ solutions like SONATA or OSM."

  text: "Management and orchestration~(MANO) systems are the key components of future
    large-scale NFV environments. They will manage resources of hundreds or even thousands
    of NFV infrastructure installations, so called points of presence~(PoP). Such
    scenarios need to be automatically tested during the development phase of a MANO
    system. This task becomes very challenging because large-scale NFV testbeds are
    hard to maintain, too expensive, or simply not available.\r\n\r\nIn this paper,
    we present a multi-PoP NFV infrastructure emulation platform that enables automated,
    large-scale testing of MANO stacks. We show that our platform can easily emulate
    hundreds of PoPs on a single physical machine and reduces the setup time of a
    test PoP by a factor of 232x compared to a DevStack-based test PoP installation.
    Further, we present a case study in which we test ETSI's Open Source MANO~(OSM)
    against our proposed system  to gain insights about OSM's behaviour in large-scale
    NFV deployments."

  text: Programmability, control and flexibility can be considered as some of the
    indirect enablers for the success of 5G technologies. A key driver towards this
    are mechanisms or methodologies to drive shorter time to market for suppliers
    and operators of virtual network functions (VNFs) and network services. 5GTANGO
    includes a DevOps approach that can be utilized for the validation and verification
    (V&V) of VNFs and network services. In this paper, we elaborate further on the
    approaches made in the areas of testing, catalogues and package management as
    a means to enable that full DevOps V&V workflow. Finally, we explore the deployment
    requirement of the V&V via one of our pilot use cases.

  text: "Dynamic allocation of resources is a key feature in network function virtualization
    (NFV), enabling flexible adjustment of slices and contained network services to
    ever-changing service demands. \r\nConsidering resource allocation across the
    entire network, many authors have proposed approaches to optimize the placement
    and chaining of virtual network function (VNF) instances and the allocation of
    resources to these VNF instances. In doing so, various optimization objectives
    are conceivable, e.g., minimizing certain required resources or the end-to-end
    delay of the placed services.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we investigate the relationship
    between four typical optimization objectives when coordinating the placement and
    resource allocation of chained VNF instances. We observe an interesting trade-off
    between minimizing the overhead of starting/stopping VNF instances and all other
    objectives when adapting to changed service demands."

  text: "In recent years, a variety of different approaches\r\nhave been proposed
    to tackle the problem of scaling and placing\r\nnetwork services, consisting of
    interconnected virtual network\r\nfunctions (VNFs). This paper presents a placement
    abstraction\r\nlayer (PAL) that provides a clear and simple northbound interface\r\nfor
    using such algorithms while hiding their internal\r\nfunctionality and implementation.
    Through its southbound interface,\r\nPAL can connect to different back ends that
    evaluate\r\nthe calculated placements, e.g., using simulations, emulations, or\r\ntestbed
    approaches. As an example for such evaluation back ends,\r\nwe introduce a novel
    placement emulation framework (PEF)\r\nthat allows executing calculated placements
    using real, containerbased\r\nVNFs on real-world network topologies. In a case
    study,\r\nwe show how PAL and PEF facilitate reusing and evaluating\r\nplacement
    algorithms as well as validating their underlying\r\nmodels and performance claims."

  text: "A key challenge of network function virtualization\r\n(NFV) is the complexity
    of developing and deploying new\r\nnetwork services. Currently, development requires
    many manual\r\nsteps that are time-consuming and error-prone (e.g., for creating\r\nservice
    descriptors). Furthermore, existing management and\r\norchestration (MANO) platforms
    only offer limited support of\r\nstandardized descriptor models or package formats,
    limiting the\r\nre-usability of network services.\r\n\r\nTo this end, we introduce
    a fully integrated, open-source\r\nNFV service development kit (SDK) with multi-MANO
    platform\r\nsupport. Our SDK simplifies many NFV service development\r\nsteps
    by offering initial generation of descriptors, advanced\r\nproject management,
    as well as fully automated packaging and\r\nsubmission for on-boarding. To achieve
    multi-platform support,\r\nwe present a package format that extends ETSI’s VNF
    package\r\nformat. In this demonstration, we present the end-to-end workflow\r\nto
    develop an NFV service that is then packaged for multiple\r\nplatforms, i.e.,
    5GTANGO and OSM."
