Hi Everyone,

My name is Serdar, and I'm championing the EU SoftFIRE project in the IETF Hackathon 101 event this weekend.

We will provide access to our federated multi-testbed virtualisation platform to the IETF community. Come and join us to deploy virtual network functions, and collect performance metrics based on IETF considerations.

Related IETF documents:

* Considerations for Benchmarking Virtual Network Functions and Their Infrastructure:

* Network Virtualization Research Challenges (draft-irtf-nfvrg-gaps-network-virtualization-09):

Also check out ETSI NFV-PER 001:

* Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV); NFV Performance & Portability Best Practises:

You can work on KPI measurements across different testbeds, or on a single testbed.

SoftFIRE runs OpenStack at its component testbeds, orchestrated by the ETSI-MANO compliant Open Baton orchestrator. We have a Middleware platform that accepts TOSCA experiment definition packages that you can submit to the platform. For more information, visit us at: http://docs.softfire.eu/ where you will find lots of useful information on how to define and deploy NFV/SDN experiments.

Hope to see you all there at IETF Hackathon 101.

Best,
Serdar
