View source for Management and Orchestration: Design and Implementation of NFV Management and Orchestration Layer with OpenStack, based on the ESTI NFVI-MANO and OPNFV frameworks.

Project Work:
 - Focus of this project is to build on the verticals and try to address the Northbound Interfaces and high level frameworks to adapt, manage and orchestrate different VNFs.
 - Study primarily involves understanding the following:
    a) Map the ETSI NFV architectural framework. 
    b) OpenStack Framework[https://www.openstack.org/] support for Management and Orchestration of Network Functions (MANO). Primarily the Horizon, Tacker and NOVA components: to understand what aspects are dealt and how they interact.
    c) OPNFV[https://www.opnfv.org/software/technical-overview] Framework and support for MANO

Goals:
 - Understanding ETSI NFV framework.
 - Comparative study on How Openstack and OPNFV build an ETSI aligned NFV platform.
 - What are the necessary MANO API’s at different levels (both Northbound and SouthBound) and what standardized API’s for different interactions with SDN Controller, NF Manager, Network Function etc.
 - Identify the open issues, and then potentially define and propose some updates and enhancements.
