“…Lack of Uniform API. Current NFV frameworks, such as LibVNF [12], OpenNF [6], and S6 [7], offer APIs for constructing stateful VNFs. LibVNF provides essential interfaces for packet handling and data transmission, enabling fine-grained state exchange control across instances through event buffers and callbacks.…”

“…Built upon a recent transactional stream processing system [18], DB4NFV features transactional state access APIs that facilitate seamless integration with various NFV frameworks. A notable integration achievement is with libVNF [12], which specializes in packet transmission and kernel-bypass optimizations. This integration uses the Java Native Interface for effective data transfer and API communication between Java and C++ environments.…”

“…Thirdly, the diverse scopes and consistency requirements of network states within SFCs demand robust and unified management strategies, adaptable to the dynamic nature of network environments. While several frameworks [5]- [8], [12]- [14] have endeavored to tackle these challenges, a uniform solution that simultaneously satisfies all three criteria remains elusive due to the intricate complexities involved in state management for SFCs. This gap highlights the pressing need for a state management solution that is not only flexible and scalable but also reliable, aligning with the continuous evolution and dynamic requirements of modern network infrastructures.…”

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) heralds a transformative era in network function deployment, enabling the orchestration of Service Function Chains (SFCs) for delivering complex and dynamic network services. Yet, the development and sustenance of stateful SFCs remain challenging, with intricate demands for usability in SFC development, performance, and execution correctness. In this paper, we present DB4NFV, a database system designed to address these challenges. Central to DB4NFV is the integration of transactional semantics into the entire lifecycle of stateful SFC, a core idea that enhances all aspects of the system. This integration provides an intuitive and well-structured API, which greatly simplifies the development of stateful SFCs. Concurrently, transactional semantics facilitate the optimization of runtime performance by efficiently leveraging modern multicore architectures. Moreover, by encapsulating state operations as transactions, DB4NFV achieves robustness, even at the entire chain level, ensuring reliable operation across varying network conditions. Consequently, DB4NFV marks a substantial forward leap in NFV state management, leveraging transactional semantics to achieve a harmonious blend of usability, efficiency, and robustness, thus facilitating the effective deployment of stateful SFCs in contemporary network infrastructures.

“…libVNF. The libVNF framework [19] can be used to develop high performance and horizontally scalable VNFs. We choose libVNF over other similar frameworks [20]- [22] because i) its API is generic, supporting the development of both L2/L3 VNFs and VNFs that terminate L4 and operate at the application layer; ii) it allows developers to only focus on the implementation of specific VNFs processing logic, rather than considering details such as low-level networking operations.…”

Value-added 5G verticals are foreseen to be delivered as a service chain over multiple network operators with extensive outsourcing of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). In this short paper we introduce the initial design of SafeLib, a software middlebox platform based on Intel SGX, which protects user traffic, VNF code, policy input and state in such scenarios, while also retaining high performance. Augmenting the smart integration of existing hardware and software building blocks with new secure elements, the SafeLib architecture shows considerable promise in a carrier-grade service context.
