EasyChair Preprint 783, version 3

Abstract

Service orchestration is an essential activity in modern networks. It performs optimal resource allocation and provisions services in an effective sequence based on demands across a collection of physical or virtual network functions (P/VNF). This paper summarizes several orchestration environments and components along with their evolution towards 5G. A brief operational comparison of platforms such as OSM MANO, OPNFV and ONAP have been presented, along with different deployment models and architectural alternatives.

Keyphrases: 5G, ETSI, MANO, MEC, NFV, Network Architecture, Network Function Virtualization, Network Slice, Network Slicing, Network Softwarisation, Orchestration, Orchestration Architecture, SDN, business application layer, open source
