NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION (NFV) PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT (PM) THRESHOLD MONITORING OPERATIONS

摘要

Techniques for performing threshold monitoring operations (e.g., creation, deletion, or listing of one or more thresholds) in connection with virtual network function (VNF) related virtualization resource (VR) performance measurements (PMs) are discussed. A Network Manager (NM) can send a request to an Element Manager (EM) to perform a threshold monitoring operation, and the EM can send a request to a VNF manager (VNFM) to perform the threshold monitoring operation, which can send a request to a Virtualization Infrastructure Manager (VIM) to perform the threshold monitoring operation. The VIM can perform the threshold monitoring operation, and can send a reply to the VNFM indicating a result of the threshold monitoring operation, which can send a reply to the EM indicating the result of the threshold monitoring operation, which can send a reply to the NM indicating the result of the threshold monitoring operation.
