Abstract: A configuration method and apparatus which resolves a problem that a forwarding delay of a traffic flow or packet is relatively long. The configuration method includes: a mobile edge ME platform manager determining a network forwarding path NFP from an instantiated first MEC application to a first destination application, where the NFP is used to indicate a forwarding path of a traffic flow or packet that is sent by the first MEC application to the first destination application; the ME platform manager sending an NFP creation request to a virtualized infrastructure manager VIM, to request the VIM to create the NFP determined by the ME platform manager; and the ME platform manager associating the NFP created by the VIM with a first traffic flow rule configured for the first MEC application.

Abstract: The disclosure of the present invention relates a VNF information obtaining method and apparatus. Based on this, detailed VNF running information can be obtained, so as to provide more comprehensive and more accurate data for determining a fault cause. The method includes instantiating, by a NFVO, a VNFM based on a software package of the VNFM to establish a communication connection between the VNFM and the NFVO; and receiving, by the NFVO during monitoring, monitoring information that is sent from the VNFM after the VNFM summarizes and analyzes monitoring data of a VNF in a NS.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a VNFM determining method and a network functions virtualization orchestrator. The method includes: receiving, by an NFVO, a first VNF instantiation request; determining, according to the first VNF instantiation request from VNFMs in a management domain of the NFVO, a VNFM managing the to-be-instantiated VNF; and sending a second VNF instantiation request to the determined VNFM, where the second VNF instantiation request is used to request the determined VNFM to instantiate the to-be-instantiated VNF. A correct VNFM is selected for the VNF, thereby ensuring that VNF deployment and life cycle management are performed correctly and highly efficiently.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hardware acceleration method and a communications system. The hardware acceleration method includes: sending, by a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO), first request information to a virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM), wherein the first request information is configured to request the VIM to deploy the to-be-accelerated VNF onto a host in a management domain of the VIM, wherein a hardware resource of the host meets a requirement of the to-be-accelerated VNF, and the requirement of the to-be-accelerated VNF includes information indicating a type of a required hardware acceleration resource and a size of the required hardware acceleration resource in the to-be-accelerated VNF; receiving, by the VIM, the first request information from the NFVO; and deploying, by the VIM, the to-be-accelerated VNF onto the host in the management domain of the VIM.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a hardware acceleration method and a related device. The hardware acceleration method includes: determining, by a functional entity, a requirement of a to-be-accelerated virtualized network function VNF; determining, by the functional entity, a target virtualized infrastructure manager VIM; and deploying, by the functional entity, the to-be-accelerated VNF onto a target host in a management domain of the target VIM by using the target VIM. In the present invention, the functional entity deploys the to-be-accelerated VNF onto the target host whose hardware matching resource meets the requirement in the to-be-accelerated VNF, so that the type of the hardware acceleration resource required in the to-be-accelerated VNF can match a type of the hardware matching resource of the target host, and the hardware matching resource of the target host can meet an acceleration requirement of the to-be-accelerated VNF, thereby effectively improving performance of the to-be-accelerated VNF.

Abstract: A resource allocating method for a VNF and an apparatus are used to resolve a prior-art problem that when a VNF is established. In the method, a resource allocation device in an NFV architecture selects a corresponding physical machine for a VDU based on a resource configuration information group of the VDU. The resource configuration information group includes a resource scheduling parameter, and the resource scheduling parameter is for indicating a requirement of a VNF on a resource selection and scheduling policy. In this way, when a plurality of factors need to be considered to schedule a resource for the VDU, the resource configuration information group may include resource scheduling parameters that indicate a plurality of factors, and the resource allocation device may schedule a resource for the VDU based on a plurality of factors, thereby improving resource scheduling flexibility in a VNF instantiation process.

Abstract: A resource management method and apparatus are disclosed. A primary orchestrator determines resource management that is in a management domain of a secondary orchestrator and that needs to be performed by the secondary orchestrator (S101), and sends a resource management instruction to the secondary orchestrator (S102). The resource management instruction is used to instruct the secondary orchestrator to perform the resource management that is in the management domain of the secondary orchestrator and that needs to be performed by the secondary orchestrator. The primary orchestrator and the secondary orchestrator have different management domains, so as to be applicable to resource management across management domains of NFVOs.
