This video is part of our series “Service Function Chaining for Cloud-native Network Functions”. In it, we briefly present the idea of Vector Packet Processing and give an overview on the open source FD.io VPP platform, which we used to build our PoC.
We also encourage you to check out our blog post on Vector Packet Processing (VPP) ➡️ hubs.ly/Q0110RP50
Why have we prepared this series?
Cloud-native network functions (CNFs) are the next step on the network function transformation journey - following in the distant footsteps of the classic network appliance approach, and, more recently, virtual network functions (VNFs). However, the CNF adoption rate remains low, as does the knowledge of how to approach the challenges building and deploying them poses.
That’s why our R&D team has conducted a PoC on Service Function Chaining (SFC) for CNFs in the K8s/Network Services Mesh environment - and they break it down step-by-step in this series.
You should definitely watch it if the following topics are on your agenda:
✅ Creating CNFs that ensure the network functionality you expect, are highly efficient and based on the cloud-native paradigm
✅ Ensuring network connectivity and dynamic Service Function Chaining for CNFs
✅ Configuration management for CNFs
✅ Ensuring all of the above in a solution based strictly on open-source components.
Our R&D team constantly researches advanced networking topics and turns them into PoCs. Learn more about the scope of their work ➡️ hubs.ly/Q0110JJ_0
