Work on creating a common understanding for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is underway with projects such as Cloud Native Networking, ONAP, and the OPNFV testing program. However, NFVs need to be deployed somewhere – in a Data Center, a Central Office or a box on the edge. That infrastructure piece does not have a well-defined standard. To address the gap, the Common NFVi Task Force (CNTT) has been created by a coalition of global telecom leaders to establish a reference model, discrete architectures and a common understanding of the infrastructure needed to support the NFVs.After an introduction to the CNTT framework, we will discuss the task force charter and goals, the joint GSMA/OPNFV sponsorship, details of the effort to build a common reference language and architecture, and most importantly how you as a vendor or provider can contribute to and benefit from the project.
