A VNFC is defined as an internal component of a VNF that can be mapped to a single container interface to provide a subset of the VNF's functionality. NFV Management and Orchestration (MANO) The management of network functions deployment on the standard hardware through virtualization, interoperability of interfaces and information models and mapping of these models to data models are done by NFV Management and Orchestration layer. NFV Management and Orchestration functions are categorized into three: virtualized resources, virtualized network functions, and network services. MANO provides all resources that VNFs and network services require, which includes the virtualization containers that are identified within the NFVI such as compute, storage and network services. BENEFITS OF NFV Network Functions Virtualization offers potentially a number of benefits which overlaps with some of the benefits of SDN. Some of the major benefits include: Downloaded 4/15/2022 9:44:49 AM Nova Southeastern University IP Address: 137.52.76.29 Introduction to SDN and NFV Figure 8.
