The present document specifies the network acceleration related interfaces supported over the Vn-Nf reference point of the NFV architectural framework between a VNF and a dedicated switch controlled by that VNF. The present document also defines information elements exchanged over those interfaces.
The present document is built on the use of the Dynamic Optimization of Packet Flow Routing (DOPFR) mechanism (see use case described in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 001). Based on DOPFR, the present document aims to design a common interface allowing a Network Intensive VNF (NI-VNF) to accelerate its data plane processing on a dedicated switch.
