本发明涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种网络业务实例化的方法及设备。The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method and device for instantiating network services.
随着云技术的发展，虚拟化技术作为云计算的基础技术，在企业数据中心、大规模集群计算领域得到大规模使用。With the development of cloud technology, virtualization technology, as the basic technology of cloud computing, has been widely used in the field of enterprise data centers and large-scale cluster computing.
网络功能虚拟化(英文：Network Functions Virtualization，简称：NFV)技术将一台计算机虚拟为多台虚拟逻辑计算机，即虚拟机(Virtual Machine，简称：VM)。虚拟机一般使用虚拟网卡、虚拟交换机以及连接机框内交换机或者架顶交换机的服务器物理网口，与服务器外部进行数据通信。Network Function Virtualization (English: Network Functions Virtualization, abbreviation: NFV) technology virtualizes a computer into multiple virtual logical computers, namely virtual machines (Virtual Machine, abbreviation: VM). A virtual machine generally uses a virtual network card, a virtual switch, and a server physical network port connected to a switch in the chassis or a top-of-rack switch to communicate with the outside of the server.
NFV技术通过借用信息技术(英文：Information Technology，简称：IT)的虚拟化技术，使得许多类型的网络设备可以合并到工业标准中，例如：服务、交换、存储等可以部署在数据中心或者网络节点中。将各种网络功能以软件方式实现，并能在工业标准的服务器上运行，并还能根据需要进行迁移、实例化、以及重新部署等等，并不需要安装新的设备，即产生虚拟网络功能(英文：Virtualized Network Function，简称：VNF)。多个虚拟网络功能之间可以实现网络业务(英文：Network Service，简称：NS)。NFV technology borrows information technology (English: Information Technology, referred to as: IT) virtualization technology, so that many types of network equipment can be incorporated into industry standards, such as: services, switching, storage, etc. can be deployed in data centers or network nodes middle. Realize various network functions in software, and can run on industry-standard servers, and can also be migrated, instantiated, and redeployed as needed, without installing new equipment, that is, virtual network functions are generated (English: Virtualized Network Function, referred to as: VNF). Network services (English: Network Service, NS for short) can be implemented between multiple virtual network functions.
当网络业务发起者需要实现一个NS时，可以向资源管理实体发送NS初始化请求；其中，资源管理实体可以是网络功能虚拟化编制器(英文：NFV Orchestrator，简称：NFVO)。其中初始化请求中包括网络业务描述信息(英文：network service descriptor，简称：NSD)，NSD指明了该NS所需要的VNF。其中该NS需要的VNF中某个或者某几个VNF在网络架构中已经进行了实例化，已实例化的VNF可以服务于该NS，也可以服务于其他NS。When the network service initiator needs to implement an NS, it can send an NS initialization request to the resource management entity; wherein, the resource management entity can be a network function virtualization orchestrator (English: NFV Orchestrator, NFVO for short). The initialization request includes network service description information (English: network service descriptor, NSD for short), and the NSD indicates the VNF required by the NS. Among the VNFs required by the NS, one or several VNFs have been instantiated in the network architecture, and the instantiated VNFs can serve the NS or serve other NSs.
但是若NSD中指明的所需要的VNF是已经实例化的VNF，并且该VNF已经服务于其他NS，从而导致该VNF剩余的资源无法满足本次NS的需求。现有技术中并没有一种方法可以使得VNF实例的资源在能够满足其他NS的同时，还能够满足本次NS的需求。However, if the required VNF specified in the NSD is an instantiated VNF, and the VNF has already served other NSs, the remaining resources of the VNF cannot meet the needs of this NS. existingThere is no method in the technology to make the resources of the VNF instance meet the requirements of this NS while satisfying other NSs.

The service, VNF and infrastructure description system 105 is introduced in detail in the ETSI GS NFV 002v1.1.1 standard, and will not be described in detail here in the embodiment of the present invention.
NFV-MANO 101可以用于实现VNF 103和NFVI 102的监控和管理。NFVO 107可以与一个或多个VNFM 108进行通信以实现与资源相关的请求、发送配置信息给VNFM 108、以及收集VNF 103的状态信息。另外，NFVO 107还可以与VIM 109进行通信以实现资源分配，和/或，实现虚拟化硬件资源的配置信息和状态信息的预留和交换。VNFM 108可以用于管理一个或多个VNF103，执行各种管理功能，例如负责VNF103的初始化、更新、查询、和/或终止等。VIM 109可以用于控制和管理VNF 103和计算硬件110、存储硬件111、网络硬件112、虚拟计算113、虚拟存储114、虚拟网络115的交互。例如，VIM 109可以用于执行资源向VNF 103的分配操作。VNFM 108和VIM 109可以互相通信以交换虚拟化硬件资源配置和状态信息。NFV-MANO 101 can be used to realize the monitoring and management of VNF 103 and NFVI 102. NFVO 107 can communicate with one or more VNFMs 108 to implement resource-related requests, send configuration information to VNFMs 108, and collect status information for VNFs 103. In addition, the NFVO 107 can also communicate with the VIM 109 to implement resource allocation, and/or, implement reservation and exchange of configuration information and status information of virtualized hardware resources. The VNFM 108 can be used to manage one or more VNFs 103, and perform various management functions, such as being responsible for initialization, update, query, and/or termination of the VNF 103, etc. VIM 109 can be used to control and manage the interaction between VNF 103 and computing hardware 110, storage hardware 111, network hardware 112, virtual computing 113, virtual storage 114, and virtual network 115. For example, the VIM 109 can be used to perform resource allocation operations to the VNF 103. VNFM 108 and VIM 109 can communicate with each other to exchange virtualized hardware resource configuration and status information.
NFVI 102包含硬件和软件，二者共同建立虚拟化环境以部署、管理和执行VNF 103。换句话说，硬件资源层和虚拟资源层用于向各个VNF 103提供虚拟资源，例如虚拟机和/或其他形式的虚拟容器。NFVI 102 includes hardware and software that together establish a virtualized environment to deploy, manage and execute VNFs 103. In other words, the hardware resource layer and the virtual resource layer are used to provide each VNF 103 with virtual resources, such as virtual machines and/or other forms of virtual containers.
如图1所示，VNFM 108可以与VNF 103和EMS 104通信以执行VNF 103生命周期管理和实现配置/状态信息的交换。VNF 103是至少一个网络功能的虚拟化，该网络功能之前是由物理网络设备提供的。在一种实现方式下，VNF 103可以是一个虚拟化的移动管理实体(英文：Mobility Management Entity，简称：MME)节点，用于提供典型的非虚拟化的MME设备提供的所有网络功能。在另一种实现方式下，VNF 103可以用于实现非虚拟化的MME设备上提供的全部组件中的部分组件的功能。一个虚拟机(或其他形式的虚拟容器)上可以部署有一个或多个VNF 103。EMS 104可以用于管理一个或多个VNF。As shown in FIG. 1 , VNFM 108 can communicate with VNF 103 and EMS 104 to perform VNF 103 life cycle management and enable the exchange of configuration/status information. VNF 103 is a virtualization of at least one network function previously provided by a physical network device. In one implementation manner, the VNF 103 may be a virtualized mobility management entity (English: Mobility Management Entity, MME for short) node, configured to provide all network functions provided by a typical non-virtualized MME device. In another implementation manner, the VNF 103 may be used to realize the functions of some components in all components provided on the non-virtualized MME device. One or more VNFs 103 can be deployed on a virtual machine (or other forms of virtual containers). EMS 104 can be used to manage one or more VNFs.
