Summary:When rolling out Network Function Virtualization (NFV) services, resource monitoring becomes a critical task subject to different cost-accuracy tradeoffs depending on whether continuous monitoring or more static infrastructure resource views are taken. In this context, we propose Virtualized Network Functions (VNF) Benchmark-as-a-Service (VBaaS) to enable not only run-time resource evaluation but also test-before-deploy opportunities for VNFs and NFV Infrastructures. We describe the motivation behind VBaaS and its main value proposition for a number of use cases around the orchestration tasks of VNF Forwarding Graphs We present the main components of VBaaS along their system interactions and interfaces, discussing the main benefits of adopting VBaaS and open research issues. Addressing the identified challenges and finalizing our proof of concept VBaaS are our main ongoing work activities.
