Demo Abstract: Assessing MANO Performance based on VIM Platforms within MEC Context

Abstract

The network edge presses an urgent need for efficient network management and orchestration (MANO), in order to efficiently cope with the wide heterogeneity in services and resources, while providing a low-latency for the hosted services. Based on ETSI standardization, the MEC platform can be managed and orchestrated by NIX MANO components. In this demo, we show how to measure the impact of the Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM), which is a component of the NFV MANO, on the perlUrmance of the MAN() system. In our testhed-based experimentation, we evaluated the perlUrmance in terms of time needed for a MANO system to instantiate/terminate a network service on top of the MEC platform. Open Source MANO (OSM) and Open Baton are used as MANO entities, while 14 the VIM environments we investigated the impact of OpenStack and Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the above mentioned OSM, and the impact of OpenStack and Docker on Open Baton.
