Outline of Final Research Achievements

The goal of this study is to estimate actual performance of NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) systems based on resource usage of COTS (Commercial off-the-shelf) servers. Particularly, we have focused on analyzing actual performance of NFV systems and figuring out the cause of performance characteristics. In addition, we have developed several performance/functionality enhancement mechanisms based on the results of the analysis. We thoroughly evaluated packet processing performance of widely-used virtual switches running on DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit)-enabled NFV nodes, and clarified internal causes of their performance characteristics. Further, We have developed a performance stabilizer for virtual network I/O based on the above results in order to simplify the estimation of performance.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

5G通信は情報通信分野における世界的なトレンドであり、「モノ」のインターネット (IoT)や自動運転・コネクテッドカーなど、様々な次世代産業の可能性を拓くものである。その共通基盤であるコアネットワークにおいては、サービスごとに独立した仮想ネットワークを構築するため、ソフトウェアによる柔軟なリソース制御が可能なNFV (Network Functions Virtualization) 技術の導入が見込まれている。しかし、既存のNFV技術では5Gに要求される性能要件を達成できない。本研究で得られた様々な性能評価・解析結果は、各種NFV技術の更なる性能向上の基礎になるものと期待できる。
