SecurityGroupRule
Security group rule specifies the matching criteria for the ingress and/or egress traffic to/from the visited connection points. If an ingress traffic is accepted, the corresponding egress response shall be allowed, regardless of the security group rules on the egress direction. If an egress traffic is allowed, the corresponding ingress response shall be accepted, regardless of the security group rules on the ingress direction. The design of security group rule follows a permissive model where all security group rules applied to a CP are dealt with in an “OR” logic fashion, i.e. the traffic is allowed if it matches any security group rule applied to this CP.

Vdu
The Virtualisation Deployment Unit (VDU) is a construct supporting the description of the deployment and operational behavior of a VNFC. A VNFC instance created based on the VDU maps to a single instance of atomic deployable unit, represented by a single VM for hypervisor-based virtualisation, or represented by one or a set of OS containers for OS virtualisation . A VNFC will only be in one VNFDesc. If a vendor wants to use the VNFC in mupliple VNFDesc (their product) they can do so, but it will be ‘repeated’.

This references (couples) the CPD with any logical node I/O requirements (for network devices) that may have been created. Linking these attributes is necessary so that so that I/O requirements that need to be articulated at the logical node level can be associated with the network interface requirements associated with the CPD. |

This information element provides a means to define in the VNFD attributes that represent the configurable properties of a VNF. Configurable properties can be standardized as listed below (e.g. related to auto scaling, auto healing and interface configuration), or can be VNF-specific as defined by the VNF provider. For a VNF instance, the value of these properties can be queried and modified through the VNFM, using the Query VNF and Modify VNF Information operations. Modifying these values affects directly the configuration of an existing VNF instance. If a configurable property is defined in the VNFD, an initial value may be defined as well.

CollectionPeriod
Specifies the periodicity at which the producer will collect performance information. Note: at the end of each reportingPeriod, the producer will inform the consumer about availability of the performance data collected for each completed collection period during this reportingPeriod. While the exact definition of the types for collectionPeriod and reportingPeriod is left for further specification, it is recommended that the reportingPeriod be equal or a multiple of the collectionPeriod. In the latter case, the performance data for the collection periods within one reporting period would be reported together.
