Intro + Deep Dive BoF: Telecom User Group and Cloud Native Network Functions (CNF) Testbed
summary
A reproducible CNF testbed runs on Packet bare metal with OpenStack + Kubernetes and packages ONAP components (broadband gateway, vCPE) as both VMs and containers to compare VNF vs CNF throughput using VPP for high‑performance dataplane tests. Current VPP setup uses out‑of‑band configuration and ansible, which shows real performance but is brittle; work is underway to replace that with in‑cluster approaches (Network Service Mesh, Multus, SR‑IOV, device plugins). Anyone can reproduce the lab with a Packet API key and contribute via pull requests.
