OpenStack Summit May 2015 Vancouver

Since the transformation of networks towards a fully virtualized environment will take a time, mixed deployments will be a reality for the years to come. During Network Transformation service provider requirements with regard to overall network performance and NF characteristics with regard to e.g. latency or high availability (99.999%) have to be met. To ensure the service quality and network performance additional testing of NFVI and VNFs in a mixed native/physical and virtual environment should be considered. This talk is about how to assess carrier grade characteristics for mixed environments during network transformation. More detailed info can be found in the following wiki page.
