1 Introduction
This document describes to what extent the SAPC implementation of Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) role conforms with the ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001 V1.1.1 (2014-12) standard with the exemptions or additions stated in this document.
2 General Considerations
This document is structured following the chapters of the ETSI GS NFV-MAN 001 V1.1.1 (2014-12) standard.
Please note that the compliance statements for the specifications referenced in the Group Specification (GS) are not in the scope of this SoC.
The following terms explain the columns in the fill-in tables in the document:
| Qualifier | Defines whether the implementation of a certain entity is Mandatory (M), Optional (Op) or Conditional (C). | |
| Compliance | Defines whether the implementation of a certain entity is Compliant by the system. | |
| Comment | It may contain additional information. | |
| No requirement (NR) | The GS statement contains general information for the understanding of other statements not applicable to the SAPC (the statements may be applicable for other nodes). | |
One of the following statements (with the associated interpretation) is given to each of the requirements of the Group Specification:
| Not compliant (NC) | The GS statement is not fulfilled. | |
| Compliant (C) | All of the GS statements are fulfilled. | |
| Partially compliant (PC) | Not completely all of the GS statements are fulfilled, the exceptions are described. | |
In this context, 'is/shall/will' statements are considered as mandatory, 'may' statements are considered as optional, and 'can' statements are considered as conditional.

6.3.1 VNF Descriptor (vnfd)
Not compliant
The SAPC VNF descriptor provided is not aligned to the information elements that are described in this section of the document. Currently, the SAPC provides a descriptor used by the Ericsson Cloud Manager.
TOSCA for NFV is aligned to the descriptor shown in this document. The SAPC is planning to provide a descriptor based on TOSCA for NFV.
