definitions, metrics and tools for OPNFV infrastructure.
Fundamental to the WG is the
-`Pharos Specification <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/Pharos+Specification>`_
+`Pharos Specification <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/pharos/docs/pharos-spec.html>`_
which provides a set of defined lab infrastructures over a geographically and technically
diverse federated global OPNFV lab.
Operating Systems
-----------------
-OPNFV currently uses Linux on all target machines, this can include Ubuntu, Centos or SUSE Linux. The
+OPNFV currently uses Linux on all target machines. The
specific version of Linux used for any deployment is documented in the installation guide.
Networking Technologies
interface devices (e.g., vNICs) managed by other OpenStack services (e.g. Nova).
* OpenDaylight: addresses multivendor, traditional and greenfield networks, establishing the
industry’s de facto SDN platform and providing the foundation for networks of the future.
-* Tungsten Fabric: An SDN solution that includes both the data plane element called a vRouter and the controller. The combination of these two
- components offers network connectivity and security across VMs, containers, and bare metal servers, across public and private cloud environments.
+* OVN: a distributed control-plane on top of the popular Open vSwitch (OVS) offers network virtualization
+ services.

Data Plane
NFVbench is a lightweight end-to-end dataplane benchmarking framework project.
It includes traffic generator(s) and measures a number of packet performance related metrics.
-----
-QTIP
-----
-QTIP boils down NFVI compute and storage performance into one single metric for easy comparison.
-QTIP crunches these numbers based on five different categories of compute metrics and relies on
-Storperf for storage metrics.
