Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using a forwarding microchip to implement a network functions virtualization (NFV) backplane within a network device. In one example, processing circuitry of a forwarding microchip establishes a respective logical connection between each of a plurality of virtual ports of the forwarding microchip and each of a plurality of virtual ports configured for respective software-implemented virtual network functions (VNFs) executing on the network device. The processing circuitry receives packets via one or more physical ports of the forwarding microchip and forwards, using the logical connections between each of the plurality of virtual ports of the forwarding microchip and each of the plurality of virtual ports configured for the respective software-implemented VNFs, the packets to a Network Interface Controller (NIC) for forwarding to the plurality of virtual ports configured for the respective software-implemented VNFs.

Abstract: This disclosure is related to devices, systems, and techniques for using an aggregation device to manage satellite devices that are coupled to host devices. For example, a system includes a set of satellite devices providing switching functionality and an aggregation device configured to communicate with an orchestrator of a wide area network (WAN), where the aggregation device serves as a master switch and is coupled to the set of satellite devices via a set of cascade ports. The aggregation device is configured to detect, using a port extension service virtual network function (VNF) executing on the aggregation device, each satellite device of the set of satellite devices coupled to the aggregation device and send, to the orchestrator, data indicating the satellite devices as respective sub-systems within a logical switch comprising the aggregation device and the set of satellite devices.

Abstract: A network function virtualization (NFV) platform may include one or more processors to identify a condition associated with the NFV platform, where the condition may affect operation of at least one virtual network function (VNF) hosted by or associated with the NFV platform; determine, based on the condition, information that may be provided or an action that may be performed with regard to the at least one VNF, and/or generate or transmit a message identifying the information and/or that may cause the action to be performed with regard to the at least one VNF.
