name: VNFFG
full_form: VNF Forwarding Graph
context: NM requests NFVO to use the NS update operation to add a VNFFG to a NS (see clause 7.3.5 in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 013 [3]). The VNFFG contains the VLs connecting the virtualized parts and non-virtualized parts of the gNB described by the virtual link descriptor (see clause 6.2.2.2 in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 014 [5]) and virtual link profile (see clause 6.3.4 in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 014 [5]) that contain the latency and bandwidth attributes, as defined in the transport network requirements in clause 11.1.2.9 and Annex A of TR 38.801 [2]. NFVO adds the VNFFGs to the NS. NFVO responds to NM to indicate that the VNFFGs have been added successfully.
description: The VNF Forwarding Graph (VNFFG) is a network function responsible for managing the forwarding of traffic within a Network Slice (NS). It contains virtual links (VLs) that connect virtualized and non-virtualized parts of the gNB, described by virtual link descriptors and profiles. The VNFFG is used to define the transport network requirements, including latency and bandwidth attributes.
explanation: VNFFG is classified as a Network Function based on its role in managing traffic forwarding within a NS, as highlighted by the context from 3GPP TS 32.864.
