19 - The purpose of these requirements is to accelerate adoption of VNF or PNF
20 best practices which will increase innovation, minimize customization needed
21 to onboard VNFs or PNFs as well as reduce implementation complexity, time and
22 cost for all impacted stakeholders.
23 - The consolidated requirements provide common VNF or PNF requirements across
24 the industry in order to drive interoperability, simplify management, and
25 reduce cost to build, deploy and manage VNFs or PNFs.
26 - These requirements serve multiple purposes:
27 - Primarily it provides a detailed list of requirements for VNF or PNF
28 providers to meet to be compatible with ONAP; VNF or PNF providers will
29 use the VNF or PNF requirements to build VNFs/PNFs that are compatible
31 - It can also serve as a list of requirements that service providers can
32 use in RFPs for selecting VNFs/PNFs.
33 - It will also be used as a basis for testing and certification of
34 VNFs or PNFs for compliance with ONAP; ONAP projects such as the VNF
35 Validation Project will uses these VNFs or PNFs requirements to build
36 test cases to validate VNFs or PNFs for compliance with ONAP.
