hardware support. Those features are widely supported in volume servers already for a long time, but can’t be achieved, or can’t be achieved well, in VM yet, thus can’t be verified in current gate. IMHO, even VM can support/emulate such feature, it’s not
so good to use VM to verify them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Hello,<br>
<br>
As promised during the second BoF session (thanks a lot to Chris Wright for leading this), here is a first try at defining the purpose of our special interest group.<br>
<br>
---<br>
Mission statement for the OpenStack NFV Special Interest Group:<br>
<br>
The SIG aims to define and prioritize the use cases which are required to run Network Function Virtualization (NFV) instances on top of OpenStack. The requirements are to be passed on to various projects within OpenStack to promote their implementation.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>
The requirements expressed by this group should be made so that each of them have a test case which can be verified using a an OpenSource implementation. This is to ensure that tests can be done without any special hardware or proprietary software, which is
key for continuous integration tests in the OpenStack gate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
