Using deep learning for recommending and completing deployment descriptors in NFV
Résumé
Future software networks promises to fully automate the network management, configuration, deployment and operations of devices. Currently the deployment automation is enabled by orchestrators using descriptor files associated with Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and Network Services (NSs), called VNF Descriptors (VNFDs) and NS Descriptors (NSDs). We focus our attention in this demo paper on VNFDs and we propose a framework for VNFD-Mining with Word Embeddings and Deep Neural Networks. The aim of the framework is to augment orchestrators with an ability to select, recommend and complete NFV descriptors given an initial description. The framework is trained initially with a catalogue of predefined VNFDs.
