Proposed name for the project: edge nfv
Proposed name for the repository: enfv
Project Categories: Requirements
Project description:
The NFV movement is largely focused gaining the efficiencies of large data centre compute infrastructure. This is sensible, however to paraphrase the old switching/routing saying … centralize what you can, distribute what you must. Some applications naturally belong at the edge: WAN Acceleration, Content Cacheing, and depending on your philosophy, Firewalling all fall into that category. Other more specialized test applications also need to be at the edge to exercise the portions of the network under test. Similarly many business applications are most efficiently delivered at the edge.
Scope:
This is a requirements project, therefore it is proposed to develop use cases, requirements, as well as upstream project blue prints and associated test cases.
