5GinFIRE continuous integration

Abstract

Com a evolução dos equipamentos com capacidade de se ligar à rede, as exigências de tráfego tornam-se muito altas. Os operadores precisam de garantir que oferecem os seus serviços rapidamente, com a mesma qualidade, mas mantendo os custos baixos. Dada a arquitetura tradicional de redes, isso não é possível uma vez que para alcançar essas necessidades é fundamental a aquisição de novos equipamentos, sendo que a sua substituição é cara e pouco flexível. Com a proposta de separação de funções de rede do seu hardware específico, NFV é a tecnologia que permite aos operadores alcançar o pretendido. No entanto, esta abordagem traz consigo problemas relacionados com a fiabilidade do código produzido, uma vez que é imperativo assegurar que as funções de rede implementadas (VNFs) se comportam como esperado. O 5GinFIRE é um projeto que tem como objetivo manter uma plataforma de experimentação de 5G-NFV. Como este projeto lida com múltiplas VNFs de vários colaboradores, é necessário haver um mecanismo automatizado que valida as mesmas. Esta dissertação aborda a solução referenciada tendo em si descrito um sistema que valida a sintaxe, semântica e referências de uma VNF de uma forma totalmente automatizada e sem qualquer necessidade de intervenção humana. Assim, o 5GinFIRE contém já uma plataforma de testes totalmente integrada no seu sistema e os seus resultados são analisados neste Documento.

With the current evolution of network connectable devices, traffic demands are becoming very high. Network operators need to ensure that they can provide new services faster but with the same quality while keeping the costs low. Given the traditional network architecture, that is not possible because the high demands require new hardware, and its substitution is costly and not flexible. By introducing the decoupling of network functions from traditional hardware, NFV is the technology that enables the step that network operators are trying to take. However, this approach also brings reliability concerns since it is mandatory to ensure that the virtual network functions (VNFs) behave as expected. 5GinFIRE is a project that aims to provide a 5G-NFV enabled experimental testbed. As this project handles multiple VNFs from the various experimenters, it is necessary to have an automated mechanism to validate VNFs. This dissertation provides a solution for the stated problem by having a system that verifies the syntax, semantics, and references of a VNF in an automated way without needing any further human interaction. As a result, a fully integrated testing platform is deployed in the 5GinFIRE infrastructure, and the results of the tests are issued in this Document.
