| This project proposes developing a test-bed framework for creating a federated NFV test capability that will be hosted by a number of companies in the OPNFV community. We have at least 1 volunteer party in each of Asia, Europe and US at this time. The volunteer parties will be responsible to setup, operate, and maintain these test-beds in a way that is consistent with the proposed OPNFV test-bed framework. | This project proposes developing a test-bed framework for creating a federated NFV test capability that will be hosted by a number of companies in the OPNFV community.

| - | * In order for the testbeds have some basic commonality and portability (to upper layer software), we will define a reference hardware configuration. We will also initially define a "bootstrap" software configuration to get started, and eventually migrate to use OPNFV release(s) coming out of Continuous Integration (CI) project. | + | * Web interface should document information about the infrastructures and setups that is common across the various implementations as well as individual variations, including ... |
