5G‐Berlin program in Germany, and it “is a ETSI NFV compliant MANO framework.
It enables virtual Network Services deployments on top of heterogeneous NFV
Infrastructures. ” While these MANO projects are still new at the time of writing, they
complete the OPNFV stack so that an end‐to‐end NFV deployment reference platform
is now possible in open‐source through OPNFV.

illustrates an end‐to‐end use case for an operator to deploy residential
vCPE service with OPNFV integrated with OPEN‐O VNF Manager and Orchestrator.
This end‐to‐end network service slicing capability allows a common 5G network
infrastructure to efficiently support multiple partners, multiple market segments, and
use cases.
15.7 NFV‐based Security Services
In the last part of this chapter, we will highlight several exciting advances in recent years
regarding NFV‐based security service. We call a new security service NFV‐based if
the technology has been made fundamentally more potent and impactful because of
the development of NFV. These technologies may not be entirely new, but their
full potential was not realized until NFV started to transform telecom industry
infrastructure, services, and business models.
1 Other open-source MANO projects such as AT & T’s ECOMP [41] and Open Source MANO (OSM) [42]
have not been integrated with OPNFV at the time of writing. For that reason alone, we choose not to
discuss them in this section. Right before finalizing this chapter, we have just learnt that the Linux
Foundation had announced a merger between Open-O and ECOMP [44].
