Benefits - Enhanced Smart Virtual Network Fabric • Higher service capacity with smaller resource footprint • Significant reduction in resource footprint and operational/mgmt overhead while maintaining SLAs • Applicable to enhance multiple NFV solutions with multi-site deployments: vCPE,vIMS, vEPC Confidential

Enhanced Smart Virtual Network Fabrics for NFV/SPs • Intelligent workload aware overlay over IP networks with real-time measurements and predictive analytics SLA Monitor and Manager • Monitor end-to-end SLA per-flow or flow aggregates with Monitors Cloudified NFV solution paths over underlay and SFCs • Workload driven smart dynamic solution for distributed Bandwidth-Aware Underlay-Aware datacenters/POPs Resilient VNF Overlay Placement Optimizes the Optimizes the Network Environment Compute Environment HPE NFV Solution E.g., NFV System, ConteXtream Base HPE vE-CPE Foundation Confidential

Virtual Network Fabrics Overview vE-CPE vE-CPE Cloudified vE-CPE vE-CPE Challenges • Increased agility – faster time to revenue • Over-provisioning resources per enterprise branch – Replace per branch dev-ops with continual, decoupled dev-ops inefficient - increases CAPEX per enterprise, applied to carrier cloud as whole • Slow and Complex semi-manual dev-ops with risky • Lower TCO onboarding increases OPEX, slows time to revenue – CAPEX: Reduces vE-CPE resources (upto 4x in scenarios) • POP or rack failures require 1+1 availability – OPEX: Simplifies mgmt. and provisioning • Inability to distribute demand spikes to POP overlay • Improved Reliability and Availability edges without protection from SLA violations – Distributed POPs are resource pools with increased availability • Inefficient provisioning of VNF resource mgmt. leads – Eliminate impact of POP/Rack failures, spikes, and stampedes to fragmentation of resources higher TCO • SLAs monitored to guarantee user experience while traffic dynamically mapped for maximum efficiency Confidential

Interactions between different components Use cases • A customer requires a new chain: • 1. (PoPx = local PoP)->2->3->4->1- 5. Is chain x set up >2…5->6 Control correctly? Does chain x • A rack fails: satisfy SLA? • 3->4->1->2->5->6 • Traffic spike • 6 ->3->4->1->2 4. PoP x 2. Not enough 1. Does PoP x have resource or sufficient resource? If Chain is created so, create the chain successfully 3 . Which remote 6. Chain x violates PoP to use? policy/SLA VNF SLA UAO Placement Verifier Confidential

Underlay-Aware Overlay (UAO) • Utilizes knowledge of underlay network performance to optimize and improve overlay performance – Dynamically maps traffic optimal resources – Granular support: per-flow overlay route decision logic – Standards-based: Plug-in to ODL overlay control • UAO Routing Optimization – Aware of joint paths – Aware of load injected from paths with joint bottlenecks – Distribute local load to equalize load on bottlenecks Max Delay assuming stable peer routing policies 6000 • Increases reliability and availability 5000 – Eliminates impact of rack or PoP failures 4000 – Increases efficiency of underlay to absorb failures 3000 2000 1000 0 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 Confidential
