Title
On resource description capabilities of on-board tools for resource management in cloud networking and NFV infrastructures
Abstract
The rapid adoption of networks that are based on “cloudification” and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) comes from the anticipated high cost savings of up to 70% in their build and operation. The high savings are founded in the use of general standard servers, instead of singlepurpose hardware, and by efficiency resource sharing through virtualisation concepts. In this paper, we discuss the capabilities of resource description of “on-board” tools, i.e. using standard Linux commands, to enable OPEX savings. We put a focus on monitoring resources on small time-scales and on the variation observed on such scales. We introduce a QoE-based comparative concept that relates guest and host views on “utilisation” and “load” for the analysis of the variations. We describe the order of variations in “utilisation” and “load” by measurement and by graphical analysis of the measurements. We do these evaluations for different host operating systems and monitoring tools.
