Indeed, what we're trying to do is help the non-developer
members of the group articulate their use cases and tease them
out to a level that is meaningful to someone who is not immersed
in telecommunications themselves. In this way we hope to in turn
be able to create meaningful specifications for the actual
OpenStack projects impacted.
<br>
<br>
It's possible that some of these will be truly cross-project and
therefore head to openstack-specs but initial indications seem
to be that most will either be specific to a project, or cross
only a couple of projects (e.g. nova and neutron) - I am sure
someone will come up with some more exceptions to this statement
to prove me wrong :).

Ok, I definitively out of telco business, and I indeed openstack
operator. My first question: what you want to do, what problems
you want to solve?

IMO most of the Telco's are asking Openstack developers to work in
the following big areas (the first 3 are basically Carrier Grade):<br>
- Performance on the virtualization layer (NUMA, etc) - get
baremetal-like performance in big VM's<br>
- QoS and capacity management - to get deterministic behavior,
always the same regardless of the load<br>
- Reliability (via HA, duplicate systems, live-migration, etc) -
achieve 99'999% uptime,<br>
- Management interfaces (OAM), compatible with their current OSS/BSS
systems (i.e. SNMP traps, usage metering for billing) - to don't
reinvent the wheel, they have other things to manage too (i.e.
legacy)<br>

on one 'NVF' session in Paris, and I've expected it to be about
SR-IOV and using VF (virtual functions) of network cards for guest
acceleration. But instead it was something I just didn't got at
all (sorry, Ericsson). So, what are you want to do? Not in terms
of 'business solution', but on very low level. Run some specific
appliance? Add VoIP support to Neutron? Make something differ?

It's all about SLA's stablished by telco's customers: government,
military and healthcare systems. SLA's are crazy there. And as an IT
operators, you'll all understand those requirements, so it's really
not that different compared to Telco operators.<br>
<br>
Just remember that ETSI NFV is more than all that: you probably saw
Ericsson speaking about high-level telco functions: MANO, VIM, EMS
and VNFs, etc... that's beyond the scope of you guys, and probably
outside the scope of all of the Openstack world.. that's why OPNFV
exists.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
