solutions.
6. Integration, operation and testing of the platform.
PoC 2 - Service Chaining for NW Function
Selection in Carrier Networks
[Cisco, Juniper Networks, HP, NTT]
This PoC verifies:
1. A new Service Chaining method which works on carrier
networks with virtualized NW functions (VNFs). Some
Service Chaining use cases are assumed and run in the test
environment, which verifies if this Service Chaining method is
effective for carrier networks.
2. Requirements of Service Chaining method for carrier
networks, such as consideration of architecture. Also, by using
VNFs provided by several vendors, - some subjects to consider
in terms of interoperability are clarified.
3. Tasks which should be considered to let Service Chaining work
appropriately with VNFs. Some problems may occur in L2 or L3
connection with VNFs in some cases of Service Chaining.
PoC 4 - Multi-Vendor Distributed NFV
[CenturyLink, Certes, Cyan, Fortinet, RAD]
This PoC presents:
1. The management and orchestration of a network comprised

and encryption appliances) components. The Network
Interface Device (NID) has built-in compute infrastructure that
integrates physical and virtual components and enables NFV
deployment at the customer edge (site).
2. Real-world deployable VNF cases, specifically the vE-CPE
solutions (defined in Use Case #2 in ETSI GS 001 “Use Cases”
document), based on D-NFV deployment at the customer
edge. These cases include the following VNFs: Firewall,
Encryption engine.
3. Service chaining between physical network functions (PNFs)
and single/multiple VNFs. Specifically, MEF Carrier Ethernet
(CE2.0) capabilities are service-chained with a virtual
firewall or/and virtual encryption implemented as VNF. Such
implementation also demonstrates the possibility to provide
multiple service offering with different options per-flow
service creation.

with a single orchestrator to provision, deploy and manage
a mobile network-service comprised of a vEPC deployed on
COTS hardware infrastructure and a Layer 2 mobile backhaul
network.
2. The integration of a multi-vendor open NFVI including servers
with advanced virtualization features and hypervisor.
3. A multi-vendor and network function-neutral orchestrator,
showcasing a real-world deployable virtual service.

network functions (PNFs).
6. A MEF CE2.0 service that is configured from eNodeB across a
metro-Ethernet backhaul network, to the vEPC residing in a
Data Center comprised of multi-vendor solutions.
This PoC demonstrates:
1. Reliability and a scaling out/in mechanism of stateful VNF that
consists of several VNFCs running on top of multi-location
NFVI, utilizing purpose built middleware to synchronize
the state across all VNFC. As an example, aSIP proxy server
is chosen as the VNF, which consists of a load balancer and
distributed SIP servers with high-availability middleware as
VNFCs.
2. The near-linearly-scalable system with regard to the network
load by allocating/removing virtual machines (VMs) flexibly on
NFVI, and by installing/terminating the SIP server application.
3. The policy based placement of VNFC in multi-location NFVI to
cater for data and processing redundancy needs.
4. That the system can autonomously maintain its redundancy
even if there is a change in the number of VNFCs either
because of the failure of a single VNFC the failure of multiple
VNFCs due to failure of NFVI in one location, or because of the
addition or removal of VNFCs.
1. Verifies Acceleration of Virtualized NW functions (VNFs) that
work on carrier networks utilizing commoditized white box
hardware. For this POC virtualized network functions are Deep
Packet Inspection and Security Firewall.
2. Demonstrates several methods for VNF disaggregation from a
given network element.
3. Demonstrates the performance difference when VNFs get
disaggregated onto COTS servers vs. when the COTS servers
get augmented with network function acceleration SoCs.
The resulting performance numbers are demonstrated
quantitatively to prove energy efficiency reasons for adopting
Service Acceleration Infrastructure.
PoC 7 - C-RAN Virtualization with Dedicated
Hardware Accelerator
[Alcatel-Lucent, China Mobile, Wind River Systems, Intel]
1. Realizes C-RAN (cloud RAN) and implements virtualisation
based on a general-purpose platform which supports not only
TD-LTE but also GSM systems. In order to meet the stringent
real-time requirements imposed by wireless signal processing,
a dedicated hardware accelerator is used to process partial
physical layer functions such as FFT/iFFT, channel codding/
decoding.
2. Verifies that RAN (TD-LTE) can run in VNF working mode at
IT COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) platform with fully 3GPP
standard (R9) compliant functionalities.
3. Evaluates the system performance of the soft (i.e. virtualized)
base station and compares with traditional implementations
based on vendors’ proprietary platform in terms of, for
example, power consumption, throughput and so on.
4. Evaluates and demonstrates the mechanism that was designed
to enable seamless LTE L3 VM (virtual machine) live migration.
5. Demonstrates the advantages of a soft base station in easy
support of multi-RAT, i.e. GSM and TD-LTE on the same
platform.
6. Outlines potential issues and challenges through the PoC
development to accelerate the momentum for commerciallevel C-RAN virtualization.
PoC 9 - VNF Router Performance with DDoS
Functionality

and concepts and actually demonstrate the benefits over
traditional network architectures by showing a very flexible
and highly scalable multi-layered traffic steering system for
Gi-LAN.
2. A high capacity, highly scalable, multi-layered traffic steering
system that optimizes the utilization of network components
and, accordingly, reduces the need for high capacity high level
network components.
3. The different load balancing models as described in the Virtual
Network Functions Architecture document (GS NFV-SWA001
V0.2.1 (2014-08)) and how these models can co-exist and
even be supported by the same scalable ADC infrastructure.
PoC 15 - Subscriber Aware SGi/Gi-LAN
Virtualization
[Telenor, ConteXtream, HP, SkyFire Networks,
Redhat, Guavus]
1. Verifies a subscriber aware method for service chaining
intrinsically provided by the NFVI.
2. Demonstrates how the use of a subscriber aware service
chaining method applied in the NFVI can enable virtualization
of functions on the SGi/Gi interface of a 3GPP mobile network
and provide elasticity to VNFs.
3. Shows how each subscriber’s specific service function
element chain are selected and composed from a catalogue
of individual functions, where the said set of functions can be
hosted within a NFVI-PoP or across NFVI-PoPs.
4. Shows by example how virtualization can enable (a)
programmability of network driven functions that are selected
by subscribers on a self service portal (b) rapid introduction of
new functions in the form of VNF’s greatly increasing service
deployment velocity.

Intensive Hardware Acceleration[
[Huawei, AMD, Broadcom, EZChip, Tielera, BT, Altera,
EANTC, Ixia]
This PoC demonstrates:
1. The benefits of Hardware Acceleration in NFV environments
for computer and network intensive functions and identifies
the requirements for a Hardware Abstraction Layer to enable
portability across different Hardware Acceleration platforms.
2. The benefits of Hardware Acceleration, which includes an
increase in performance, better resource utilization and cost
reduction for some Network Functions. This PoC accelerates
the following functions as examples of functions that can
benefit from Hardware Acceleration: Load Balancing, IKE
(Internet Key Exchange), Encryption and Video Transcoding.
3. Increasing levels of complexity of integration of Hardware
Acceleration solutions from different vendors.
4. Dynamic Optimization of Packet Flow Routing for Load
Balancing Functions and IKE and encryption acceleration.

The above NFV Proofs of Concept have been developed according to the ETSI NFV ISG Proof of Concept Framework. NFV Proofs of
Concept are intended to demonstrate NFV as a viable technology. Results are fed back to the NFV Industry Specification Group.
Neither ETSI, its NFV Industry Specification Group, nor its members make any endorsement of any product
or implementation claiming to demonstrate or conform to NFV. No verification or test has been performed
by ETSI on any part of this NFV Proof of Concept.
