专题：SDN/NFV NFV 数据平面的网络性能优化技术 黄昱恺，耿金坤，令瑞林，李丹 （清华大学，北京 100084 ） 摘 要：近年来，NFV 因为其部署灵活、成本低廉等优良特性，受到了学术界与工业界的广泛关注。然而， 性能问题在 NFV 发展过程中变得愈加明显，逐渐成为制约 NFV 技术进步的主要瓶颈。针对影响 NFV 数据平 面网络性能的主要因素进行了归纳概述，分析了 NFV 的性能瓶颈所在，并在此基础上进一步归纳了相应的优 化方法。最后，简要介绍了当前比较成熟的两种系统架构，能够显著提升 NFV 数据平面的网络性能。 关键词：NFV ；性能优化；系统架构 中图分类号：TP393 文献标识码：A doi: 10.11959/j.issn.1000−0801. 2017088 Performance optimization solutions for NFV data plane HUANG Yukai, GENG Jinkun, LING Ruilin, LI Dan Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China Abstract: In recent years, network function virtualization (NFV) is arousing concern widely from both academia and industry due to its flexible deployment and low cost. However, the performance bottleneck becomes increasingly dis- tinctive and hinders the progress of NFV technology. The major factors were studied which could seriously affect the performance of NFV data plane. Firstly, an analysis was conducted on the causes for various kinds of performance overheads. Then, the optimization solutions were summarized to mitigate these overheads. Finally, a brief introduc- tion was made on two types of architecture, which could significantly improve the performance of NFV data plane. Key words: network function virtualization, performance optimization, system architecture 网络功能虚拟化（network function virtualization, 1 引言 NFV ）正是在这种需求背景下产生的。2012 年 10 月， 在过去的很长一段时间里，电信运营商每新 ETSI （European Telecommunications Standards 增一项网络服务都需要采购大量的专用设备，另 Institute ，欧洲电信标准化协会）发布 NFV 白皮 一方面，设备提供商也需要投入大量的人员进行 书，其最终目标是通过软件定义网
