Programmable first: Automated orchestration between MEC and NFV platforms

Abstract

5G ecosystems will benefit significantly from Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). While NFV allows for dynamical deployment of virtualized network functions, MEC allows applications to be deployed close to mobile users, thus reducing latency. When used together, NFV and MEC bring flexibility and enhanced performance to meet the user's demand. However, to increase service availability and maximize the convenience of MEC users, an MEC framework has to interface with multiple NFV orchestrators to utilize running network functions in an efficient manner. We introduce in this demonstration APMEC, a framework addressing the above two challenges. Via a combination of an interactive GUI, KPI views and a live-demo setup, we will showcase the advanced features of the framework.
