“…Only a reduced set of studies have experimentally evaluated the capacity of NFV platforms to deploy multi-domain 5G services. In [10], a streaming service is deployed over several geographically distributed NFV infrastructures, using layer-3 VPNs to support inter-domain VNF traffic. Another study by [11] formulates an algorithm for VNF placement and traffic steering in an NFV ecosystem, which is experimentally validated using NFV, SDN, and layer-3 VPNs for multi-domain communication.…”

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a fundamental enabler in 5G networks, automating service deployment through softwarization and virtualization. However, challenges remain in providing network connectivity to service components, commonly referred to as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), deployed on different domains. A usual approach to enable such connectivity is to rely on layer-3 routing from Internet service providers. However, this approach presents limitations to preserve isolation among remote VNFs, and may require undesirable network configurations. This paper proposes a novel connectivity orchestration service for multi-domain NFV ecosystems to address these limitations. The service is based on a set of interconnected software components that are deployed on every NFV domain. Connectivity is automatically provided to remote VNFs over the overlay network formed by these components using Software-Defined Network (SDN) technologies. The service has been prototyped using open-source software, being validated on a real NFV ecosystem.

5G is a key tool for the cloud-based wireless production of audio-visual contents. By providing higher throughput and lower latency than previous mobile network technologies, as well as flexible allocation of network resources, it enables that some content production pipelines, which are currently implemented using wired connectivity, are provided on top of a 5G network. This brings down production costs, reduces environmental impact and increases operational efficiency. In particular, live immersive production services, such as free-viewpoint video (FVV), can be provided in a much more efficient way. In this paper, we address the challenge of producing and streaming FVV services in real time through 5G networks. We have adapted a state-of-the-art FVV system to integrate it within a 5G architecture, using three key technological enablers: mmWave radio access network to support the uplink traffic requirements from FVV cameras, multi-access edge computing to run video processing algorithms with minimum latency, and end-to-end slicing to guarantee a sufficient quality of service (QoS) within the production pipeline. We have built a field trial over the production network of a telecommunication operator, including a mmWave pilot deployment, edge cloud processing, and remote content production, involving three different locations across Spain. We have measured the key performance indicators at the relevant parts of our trial deployment, showing that, with existing 5G technology, it is possible to achieve live FVV production, although with some limitations. We have also analyzed such limitations, obtaining some insights on how the next generation of 5G networks can overcome them to achieve higher quality of experience (QoE).
