Hi In my opinion the first and foremost requirement for NFV ( which is from carrier class ) is 99.99999 ( 5 nines ) reliability. If we want OpenStack architecture to scale to Carrier class below are basic thing we need to address.
1. There should be a framework from open-stack to support 5 nine level reliability to Service/Tennant-VM . ? ( Example for Carrier Class NAT Service/ SIP Service/HLR/VLR service/BRAS service) 2. They also should be capable of 'In-service up gradation" (ISSU) without service disruption. 3. OpenStack itself should ( its own Compute Node/L3/Routing, Controller ) have (5 nine capable) reliability. If we can provide such of infrastructure to NFV then we think of adding rest of requirement . Let me know others/NFv people opinion for the same.
