Summary

Recommendation ITU-T Q.4067 specifies the process and signalling requirements for virtualized network function (VNF) lifecycle management in a testing environment by architecturally adding the testing platform in the network functions virtualization (NFV) framework. The signalling focuses on the interface between the VNF instantiation functional component in a testing platform and the network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO) functional component in management and orchestration (MANO).
