Method for providing virtual CPE service by using single internet line and network function virtualization cloud

Abstract:

An NFV cloud for providing a vCPE service by using a single Internet line may comprise: a vCPE service having a virtual LAN interface, a virtual WAN interface, and a virtual management interface; a virtual LAN network, a virtual WAN network, and a virtual management network connected to the virtual LAN interface, the virtual WAN interface, and the virtual management interface, respectively; a physical LAN interface for providing customer traffic to the virtual LAN network; a physical WAN interface for connecting the virtual management network to the outside in order to output, to the outside, traffic which has been output from the virtual WAN network and passed through the vCPE service, or to provide a management function for the vCPE service or the NFV cloud; and an interface agent for controlling a connection between the physical WAN interface and the virtual WAN network or the virtual management network.
