Description

创建性能测量任务、性能测量结果的处理方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域，具体而言，涉及一种创建性能测量任务、性能测量结果的处理方法及装置。
背景技术
在现有的网络架构之中，网络功能与网络设备具备超强的耦合关系，网络功能均通过专门设计的、厂商专有的设备来实现，由此带来了诸多不便。例如：这些设备在性能上的提高受限于满足特定/定制化需求而且同时保持电信级可靠性的硬件的发展；再比如：当运营商需要部署新的业务时，须事先部署新设计的、具有相关专用功能的设备，这会提高运营商的业务部署成本。另一方面，随着中央处理器以及内存性能的快速提高，通用型服务器上以软件形式运行网络功能便具备了基础条件。网络功能虚拟化(Network Function Virtualization，简称为NFV)技术也应运而生，其目标就是在通用的硬件设备上运行网络功能，从而通过大范围的部署，以降低资本性支出。“虚拟化”使得网络功能可以按需部署及更新，且极大地方便远程管理及维护，可降低运营成本。
图1是根据相关技术的NFV管理和配置(NFV Management and Orchestration，简称为NFV-MANO)的架构及参考点的示意图。如图1所示，网络功能虚拟化配置(Network Functions Virtualization Orchestrator，简称为NFVO)负责网络服务的生命周期管理、跨虚拟底层结构管理(Virtualised Infrastructure Manager，简称为VIM)的网络功能虚拟化底层结构(Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure，简称为NFVI)资源调度等功能，VNF管理(VNF Manager，简称VNFM)负责VNF实例的生命周期管理，每个VNF实例假设都有一个关联的VNFM，VIM负责控制和管理NFVI计算，存储和网络资源。
随着网络功能虚拟化后，虚拟网络功能(Virtual Network Function，简称VNF)应用层的性能测量由VNF执行，可以由VNF直接发送至网元管理(Element Management，简称EM)或VNFM，而网络资源相关的性能测量，运营支撑系统(Operation Support System，简称OSS)\网络管理系统(Network Management System，简称NMS)通过NFVO从VIM获取。性能测量数据主要用于评估网络服务的质量或网络资源的利用率，以及网络设备的处理能力。
网络资源相关性能测量根据ETSI GS NFV-MANO可以关联到具体的VNF，但是如果VNF应用层的性能测量上报给网元管理系统(Element Management System，简称EMS)，EMS按照相关技术中的网管北向接口的性能管理方式将性能信息发送给OSS\NMS，OSS\NMS无法将应用层的性能测量项关联到具体的VNF。因为在北向接口的性能测量对象都是通过可分辨名称(Distinguish Name，简称为DN)加以标识。
图2是根据相关技术的网管执行性能管理的流程图。如图2所示，该方法可以包括以下处理步骤：
步骤S202：OSS/NMS通过测量对象DN标识创建性能测量任务；
步骤S204：EMS创建性能测量任务；
步骤S206：网元上报性能测量结果；
步骤S208：EMS通过测量对象DN标识上报性能测量文件；
步骤S210：OSS/NMS统计分析各网元的所有性能测量结果，评估网络功能质量及网络设备的处理能力。
需要指出的是，若无法确定性能测量结果所归属的VNF，在对性能测量数据进行统计分析时则无法收集到VNF的全部性能测量信息，也就无法对VNF提供的网络功能质量和虚拟网络设备的处理能力进行全面有效的评估。
