17 KVM4NFV Project Description
18 ===========================
20 The NFV hypervisors provide crucial functionality in the NFV Infrastructure
21 (NFVI). The existing hypervisors, however, are not necessarily designed or
22 targeted to meet the requirements for the NFVI, and we need to make
23 collaborative efforts toward enabling the NFV features.
25 The KVM4NFV project focuses on the KVM hypervisor to enhance it for NFV, by
26 looking at the following areas
28 + Minimal Interrupt latency variation for data plane VNFs
29 * Minimal Timing Variation for Timing correctness of real-time VNFs
30 * Minimal packet latency variation for data-plane VNFs
33 While these items require software development and/or specific hardware features
34 there are also some adjustments that need to be made to system configuration
35 information, like hardware, BIOS, OS, etc.
