1. Introduction
Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) [ETSI-NFV-WHITE] offers a new
way to design, deploy and manage network services. The network
service can be composed of one or more network functions and NFV
relocates the network functions from dedicated hardware appliances to
generic servers, so they can run in software. Using these
virtualized network functions (VNFs), one or more VNF forwarding
graphs (VNF-FGs; a.k.a. service chains) can be associated to the
network service, each of which describes a network connectivity
topology, by referencing VNFs and Virtual Links that connect them.
One or more network forwarding paths (NFPs) can be built on top of
Lee, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Resource Management in Service Chaining July 2015
such a topology, each defining an ordered sequence of VNFs and
Virtual Links to be traversed by traffic flows matching certain
criteria.
The network service is instantiated by allocating NFVI resources for
VNFs and VLs which constitute the VNF-FGs. Thus, the capacity and
performance of the network service depends on the state and
attributes of the resources used for the VNF instances. While this
brings a similar problem to the VM placement optimization in a cloud
computing environment, it differs as one or more VNF instances are
interconnected for a single network service. For example, if one of
the VNF instances in the VNF-FG gets failed or overloaded, the whole
network service also gets affected. Thus, the VNF instances need to
be carefully placed during NS instantiation considering their
connectivity within NFPs. They also need to be monitored and
dynamically migrated or scaled at run-time to adapt to changes in the
resources.
The resource placement problem in VNF-FGs matters not only to the
performance and capacity of network services but also to the
optimized use of NFVI resources. For example, if processing and
bandwidth burden converges on the VNF instances placed in a specific
NFVI-PoP, it may result in scalability problem of the NFV
infrastructure. Thus care is encouraged to be taken in distributing
load across local and external VNF instances at run-time.
This document addresses resource management problem in service
chaining to optimize the NS performance and NFVI resource usage. It
provides the relevant use cases of the resource management such as
traffic optimization, failover, load balancing and further describes
design considerations and relevant framework for the resource
management capability that dynamically creates and updates NFP
instances considering NFVI resource states for VNF instances and VL
instances.
Note that this document mainly focuses on the resource management
capability based on the ETSI NFV framework [ETSI-NFV-ARCH] but also
studies contribution points to the work for control plane of SFC
architecture [I-D.ietf-sfc-architecture] [I-D.ietf-sfc-architecture]
[I-D.ww-sfc-control-plane].

3. Resource management in service chain
3.1. Resource scheduling among network services
In the NFV framework, network services are realized with NS
instantiation procedures at which virtualized NFVI resources are
assigned to the VNFs and VLs which constitute VNF-FGs of the network
Lee, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Resource Management in Service Chaining July 2015
service. The NFVI resources are placed and located along the VNF-FG
by NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) dynamically according to:
o Resource availability,
o Deployment templates which define resource requirements of NS
instances and VNF instances to support KPIs (e.g., capacity and
performance) of the network service, and
o Resource policies which define how to govern NFVI resources for NS
instances and VNF instances (e.g., affinity/anti-affinity rules,
scaling, and fault management) to support an efficient use of NFVI
resources as well as KPIs of the network service.
In order to satisfy the deployment templates and resource policies,
VNF-FGs of the network services need to be built by considering the
state of NFVI resources for VNF instances (e.g., availability,
throughput, load, disk usage) and VL instances (e.g., bandwidth,
delay, delay variation, packet loss).
However, since the NFVI resources are shared by different network
services and their deployment constraints are very different from
each other, it is required to carefully schedule the NFVI resources
for multiple network services to optimize their KPIs.
3.2. Performance coupling within a service chain
In NFV, a network service is composed of one or more virtualized
network functions which are connected via virtual links along NFPs
specified for a traffic flow for the network service. Thus, the
performance of a network service is determined by the performance and
capability of a coupling of VNF instances and VL instances. For
example, if one of the VNF instances or VL instances of an NFP gets
failed or overloaded, the whole network service also gets affected.
Thus, the VNF instances need to be carefully placed during NS
instantiation considering their connectivity within NFPs.
This performance coupling can be handled by considering deployment
rules for affinity/anti-affinity, geography, or topological locations
of VNFs; and QoS of virtual links.
Another important factor for virtual links is the inter-connectivity
between different NFVI-PoPs, which is an enabler of resource sharing
among different NFVI-PoPs. When the VNF instances of a network
service are allocated at different NFVI-PoPs, the NFVI-PoP
interconnect may be a bottleneck point which needs to be monitored to
support KPIs of the service chain.
Lee, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Resource Management in Service Chaining July 2015
3.3. Multiple policies and conflicts
The NFVI resources for a network service should be allocated and
managed according to a NS policy given in the network service
descriptor (NSD), which describes how to govern NFVI resources for
VNF instances and VL instances to support KPIs of the network
service. The examples of NS policy are affinity/anti-affinity,
scaling, fault and performance, geography, regulatory rules, NS
topology, etc. Since network services may have different NS policies
for their own deployment and performance, this may cause resource
management difficult within the shared NFVI resources.
For network-wide (or NS-wide) resource management, NFVI policy (or
network policy) can be also provided. It may describe the resource
management policy for optimized use of infrastructure resources
rather than the performance of a single network service. The
examples of NFVI policy are NFVI resource access control, reservation
and/or allocation policies, placement optimization based on affinity
and/or anti-affinity rules, geography and/or regulatory rules,
resource usage, etc.
Multiple administrative domains or subsystems may have different NFVI
policies so that it may bring some conflicts when enforcing them in a
global infrastructure. There could be a similar problem among NS
policies and NFVI policies.
Note that the similar topics are being studied in
[I-D.norival-nfvrg-nfv-policy-arch]
3.4. Dynamic adaptation of service chains
The performance and capability of NFVI resources may vary in time due
to different uses and management policies of the resources. If some
changes in the resources make the service quality unacceptable, the
VNF instances can be scaled according to the given auto-scaling
policies. But it's only for local quality of the VNF.
In order to provide optimized KPIs to network services, the NFP
instances need to dynamically adapt to the changes of the resource
state at run-time. The performance of the whole NFP instance should
be measured by monitoring the resource state of VNF instances and VL
instances. Based on the monitoring results, some VNF instances may
be determined and relocated at different virtualized resources with
better performance and capabilities.

4. Use cases
In this section, several (but not exhausted) use cases for resource
management in service chaining are provided: fail-over, load
balancing, path optimization, traffic optimization, and energy
efficiency.
4.1. Fail-over
For service continuity, failure of a VNF instance needs to be
detected and the failed one needs to be replaced with the other one
which is available to use as per redundancy policy. Figure 1
presents an example of the fail-over use case. A network service is
defined as a chain of VNF-A and VNF-B; and the service chain is
instantiated with VNF-A1 and VNF-B1 which are instances of VNF-A and
VNF-B, respectively. In the meantime, failure of VNF-B1 is detected
so that VNF-B2 replaces the failed one for fail-over of the NFP.

# | |
# +--------+ +--------+
######| VNF-B1 |### (failure)--> | VNF-B1 |
+--------+ +--------+
### NFP
Figure 1: A fail-over use case
The above is in the case where there is a 1+1 or 1:N redundancy
scheme. In event that VNF instance overloads before NFVO has time to
scale out, or when resources do not permit a scale-out then we can
route the service chain deterministically to a remote VNF instance.
This adaptation may be revertive or non-revertive dependent on
service provider policy and resource availability.
Lee, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Resource Management in Service Chaining July 2015
4.2. Load balancing
A single VNF instance may be a bottleneck point of a service chain
due to its overload. It may affect the performance of the whole
service chain consequently so that an NFP instance needs to be built
to avoid bottleneck points or maintained to distribute workloads of
overloaded VNF instances.
With NFVI-PoP Interconnect, service chains can be balanced between
NFVI-PoPs in a way that best utilises NFV infrastructure and ensures
service integrity. The wide area conditions can be monitored in
real-time to provide KPIs, such as BW, delay, delay variation and
packet loss per QoS class to the service chaining application which
may enable use of external VNF instances when there is an overload or
failure condition in the local NFVI-PoP. In this way the service
chaining application can make a service chain reroute decision (in
the event of failure and/or overload) that is network and platform-
aware. The service chaining application understands the state of
external VNFs and WAN conditions per QoS class between the local
NFVI-PoP and remote NFVI-PoP in real-time.
4.3. Path optimization
Traffic for a network service traverses all of the VNF instances and
the connecting VL instances given by a NFP instance to reach a target
end point. Thus, quality of the network service depends on the
resource constraints (e.g., processing power, bandwidth, topological
locations, latency) of VNF instances, VL instances including NFVI-PoP
interconnects. In order to optimize the path of the network service,
the resource constraints of VNF instances and VLs need to be
considered at constructing NFPs. Since the resource state may vary
in time during the service, NFP instances also need to adapt to the
changes of resource constraints of the VNF instances and VL instances
by monitoring and replacing them at run-time.
4.4. Traffic optimization
A network operator may provide multiple network services with
different VNF-FGs and different flows of traffic traverse between
source and destination end-points along the VNF-FGs. For efficiency
of resource usage, the NFP instances need to be built by default to
localize the traffic flows and to avoid processing and network
bottlenecks. It is only in the case of local failure or overload
(whereby the NFVO is unable or has not completed a scale-out of on-
site resources) that NFP instances would be constructed between NFVI-
PoPs. In this case, multiple VNF instances of different NFVI-PoPs
need to be considered together at constructing a new NFP instance or
adapting one.
Lee, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Resource Management in Service Chaining July 2015
4.5. Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency in the network is getting important to reduce
impact on the environment so that energy consumption of VNF instances
using NFVI resources (e.g., compute, storage, I/O) needs to be
considered at NFP instantiation or adaptation. For example, a NFP
can be instantiated as to make traffic flows aggregated into a
limited number of VNF instances as much as its performance is
preserved in a certain level. Policy may vary between centralized or
distributed NFV applications, and could include policies for even
energy distribution between sites, time-of-day etc.
5. Framework
To support the aforementioned use cases, it is required to support
resource management capability which provides service chain (or NFP)
construction and adaptation by considering resource state or
constraints of VNF instances and VL instances which connect them.
The resource management operations for service chain construction and
adaptation can be divided into several sub-actions:
o Locate VNF instances
o Evaluate the performance of VNF instances and VL instances
o Relocate (or scale) VNF instances to update a NFP instance
o Monitor state or resource constraints of a VNF instance, VL
instances including NFVI-PoP interconnects
As listed above, VNF instances are relocated according to monitoring
or evaluation results of performance metrics of the VNF instances and
VL instances. Studies about evaluation methodologies and performance
metrics for VNF instances and NFVI resources can be found at
[ETSI-NFV-PER001] [I-D.liu-bmwg-virtual-network-benchmark]
[I-D.morton-bmwg-virtual-net]. The performance metrics of VNF
instances and VL instances specific to service chain construction and
adaptation can be defined as follows:
o availability (or failure) of a VNF instance and a VL instance
o a topological location of a VNF instance
o CPU and memory utilization rate of a VNF instance
o a throughput of a VNF instance
o energy consumption of a VNF instance
Lee, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Resource Management in Service Chaining July 2015
o bandwidth of a VL instance
o packet loss of a VL instance
o latency of a VL instance
o delay variation of a VL instance
The resource management functionality for dynamic service chain
adaptation takes role of NFV orchestration with support of VNF
manager (VNFM) and Virtualised Infrastructure Manager (VIM) in the
NFV framework [ETSI-NFV-ARCH]. Detailed functional building block
and interfaces are still under study.
6. Applicability to SFC
6.1. Related works in IETF SFC WG
IETF SFC WG provides a new service deployment model that delivers the
traffic along the predefined logical paths of service functions
(SFs), called service function chains (SFCs) with no regard of
network topologies or transport mechanisms. Basic concept of the
service function chaining is similar to VNF-FG where a network
service is composed of SFs and deployed by making traffic flows
traversed instances of the SFs in a pre-defined order.
There are several works in progress in IETF SFC WG for resource
management of service chaining. [I-D.ietf-sfc-architecture] defines
SFC control plane that selects specific SFs for a requested SFC,
either statically or dynamically but details are currently outside
the scope of the document. There are other works
[I-D.ww-sfc-control-plane] [I-D.lee-sfc-dynamic-instantiation]
[I-D.krishnan-sfc-oam-req-framework] [I-D.aldrin-sfc-oam-framework]
which define the control plane functionality for service function
chain construction and adaptation but details are still under study.
While [I-D.dunbar-sfc-fun-instances-restoration] and
[I-D.meng-sfc-chain-redundancy] provide detailed mechanisms of
service chain adaptation, they focus only on resilience or fail-over
of service function chains.
6.2. Integration in SFC control-plane architecture
In SFC WG, [I-D.ww-sfc-control-plane] describes requirements for
conveying information between Service Function Chaining (SFC) control
elements (including management components) and SFC functional
elements. It also identifies a set of control interfaces to interact
with SFC-aware elements to establish, maintain or recover service
function chains.

Figure 2: SFC control plane overview
The service chain adaptation addressed in this document may be
integrated into the SFC Control & Management Planes and may use the
C2 and C4 interfaces for monitoring or collecting the resource
constraints of VNF instances, NFVI-PoP interconnects and VL
instances.
To prevent constant integration between the application and probing
functions we would propose a 3-tier architecture per NFVI-PoP.
o Top level application control at the SFC Control & Management
Planes
o An abstraction layer between the application layer and the probing
layer. This would decouple NFVI and link monitoring methods from
the application layer
o A probing layer that monitors VNF, physical and virtual link
resources

Note that SFC does not assume that Service Functions are virtualized.
Thus, the parameters of resource constraints may differ, and it needs
further study for integration.
