Virtual CPE Framework
With ALTEN Calsoft Labs’ vCPE framework, NEMs can get a robust platform to
develop vCPE solutions for different hypervisor and operating system environments,
with seamless integration with ETSI MANO compliant NFV orchestrators. The
framework is Intel DPDK optimized to deliver line rate performance in fully
virtualized (KVM, ESXi) and LinuX Container (LXC) based deployments.
Time-to-Market: Shorten vCPE product development cycle
Modular Architecture: Framework built upon industry
standards in a highly modular fashion with well-defined
interfaces
Flexibility: Supports different virtualization techniques and
allows inclusion or exclusion of functionality to address
different market segments
Performance: Framework is optimized to deliver line-rate
performance that scales linearly with the number of CPUs
Field Proven: Deployed in production networks
Lowered cost & minimized risk: Instantly delivers value
through reduction in upfront capital commitment for R&D
and eliminates risks associated with new development
Easy to Deploy: Framework provides APIs for integration with
industry standard ETSI MANO compliant NFV orchestrators
High Quality: Extensively tested in different hardware and
software environments with real time load scenarios

NFV Service Offerings
Other NFV Solution Accelerators
Ease of Deployment
Solutions developed using ALTEN Calsoft Labs’ vCPE framework can be easily
deployed on industry standard virtualization platforms. The vCPE framework
offloads core CPE functionalities such as NAT, Stateful Firewall, Routing, VPN
access, multi-service QoS and other complex traffic handling functions from
customer premises equipment to the Service Provider cloud.
This reduces overheads associated with the management of multiple
network elements at the customer premise. vCPE service instances can be
created on demand to support multiple customers, and managed centrally,
thereby reducing OpEx and enabling new revenue streams for service
providers.
VLAN (802.1Q, and Q-in-Q)
DHCP server, DHCP client and DHCP relay
Static and Dynamic NAT (with support for ALGs)
Stateful Firewall
Routing (RIP and OSPF)
Static & Dynamic Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
Multi-site Layer-3 VPN
Quality of Service (QoS)
CLI/SNMP based VNF management
Service Provisioning Portal
ALTEN Calsoft Labs’ vCPE framework allows NEMs to add new
functions/features in their solutions to support enterprise and residential
deployments.
The ALTEN Calsoft Labs’ vCPE framework adds scalability and flexibility to
traditional CPE functions. Some of the core functions provided by the
framework are as follows:
