NFVO Architecture
NFVO is a modular software composed by the modules illustrated in the following picture:
API
This module contains the necessary classes exposing APIs as ReST server. The most importat ones are the classes managing VimInstances, NetworkServiceDescriptors and NetworkServiceRecords. For more details please see the api documentation
MAIN
This module contains the classes in charge of the startup of the whole system and gathering configuratons for instance.
COMMON
This module contains the classes that are common to the NFVO
CLI
This module contains the NFVO console.
DASHBOARD
This module contains the web dashboard available at localhost:8080
CORE-INT
This module contains the interfaces of the core functionalities regarding only the internal NFVO interfaces. Most of them are definend in ETSI MANO specification in NFV-MANO interfaces section.
CORE-IMPL
This module contains the beans implementing the core-int interfaces.
VNFM-INT
This module contains the interfaces of the core functionalities regarding only the NFVO interfaces to the VnfManagers. Most of them are definend in ETSI MANO specification in NFV-MANO interfaces section.
VNFM-IMPL
This module contains the beans implementing the vnfm-int interfaces.
REPOSITORY
This module contains specific repositories interfacing the database in a generic way.
CATALOGUE
This module contains the complete model of NFVO that is sharde in the openbaton libraries.
VIM-INT
This module contains the interfaces of the core functionalities regarding only the NFVO interfaces to the VIM. Most of them are definend in ETSI MANO specification in NFV-MANO interfaces section.
VIM-IMPL
This module contains the beans implementing the vim-int interfaces.
PLUGIN
This module contains the utility classes used to interface to the openbaton plugins.
VIM-DRIVERS
This module contains the interface for the VIM openbaton plugins.
EXCEPTION
This module contains all the exception classes common to every project containing openbaton libraries.
MONITORING
This module contains the interface for the monitoring of the openbaton plugins.
