Techniques for Monitoring Virtualized Network Functions or Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure

摘要

Examples may include techniques for monitoring virtual network functions or network functions virtualization infrastructure. Examples include receiving performance measurement data from virtualized network functions arranged to support a network service or from network functions virtualization infrastructure composed to support the virtualized network functions. In some examples, corrective actions such as virtualized network function lifecycle management operations are initiated based on the received performance measurement data.

1. An apparatus comprising:
logic, at least a portion of the logic in hardware, the logic to:
receive first performance measurement (PM) data for a virtualized network function (VNF);receive second PM data for network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) arranged to support the VNF; anddetermine whether to initiate a network services (NS) lifecycle management (LCM) operation with a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO) or a VNF LCM operation with a virtualized network function manager (VNFM) based on implementation of a PM data correlation and detection of threshold crossing function using the first and/or the second PM data.
