Abstract
The virtual customer premises equipment (VCPE) is a virtual Computing platform, capable of to host simultaneous and dynamically provisioned virtual network functions (VNFs), the VCPE has become an important element in SD-WAN and Edge Computing. Notwithstanding the SDWAN points to new management solutions (such as, gRPC-Network Management Interface, or RestConf), the basic management tasks, namely monitoring, and simple configuration, still the same. In this interim of coexistence between traditional WAN and SD-WAN, the maturity, the past investments, and dominance of Internet management solutions, suggest that it would be quite interesting for the operators to extend their legacy Internet management solutions till VCPE and SD-WAN get their maturity. This paper presents the DynagentX, a VCPE internal management instrumentation’s architecture, aiming to adapt the Internet management framework to the SD-WAN, and edge computing scenario, focusing the VCPE. In this work I show results that substantiate the proposal feasibility, performance, and security.
