System for providing virtual customer premises equipment services in network function virtualization environment, and network function virtualization cloud for the same

A network function virtualization (NFV) cloud which provides virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) services to a customer and is located at customer premises, the NFV cloud comprising:

• at least one vCPE service having a local area network (LAN) virtual interface and a wide area network (WAN) virtual interface, respectively;
• a LAN virtual network coupled to the LAN virtual interface of the at least one vCPE service;
• a WAN virtual network coupled to the WAN virtual interface of the at least one vCPE service;
• a LAN physical interface for providing customer traffic received from the customer to the LAN virtual network,
• a WAN physical interface for outputting traffic that has passed through the at least one vCPE service output from the WAN virtual network;
• and
• a service manager controlling, in accordance with a control of an orchestrator managing at least two NFV clouds including the NFV cloud, the LAN physical interface and the WAN physical interface so that the customer traffic received from the LAN physical interface is transferred to the LAN virtual network or directly outputted through the WAN physical interface.

A network function virtualization (NFV) cloud which provides virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) services to a customer and is located at a local telecommunication office, the NFV cloud comprising at least one compute node, a local area network (LAN) switch, a wide area network (WAN) switch, a line concentrator switch, and a router,

• wherein each of the at least one compute node comprises:
• at least one vCPE service having a LAN virtual interface and a WAN virtual interface, respectively;
• a LAN virtual network coupled to the LAN virtual interface of the at least one vCPE service;
• a WAN virtual network coupled to the WAN virtual interface of the at least one vCPE service;
• a LAN physical interlace coupled to the LAN virtual network and the LAN switch;
• a WAN physical interface coupled to the WAN virtual network and the WAN switch;
• and
• a service manager controlled by an orchestrator for managing at least two NFV clouds including the NFV cloud,
• wherein the line concentration switch transfers customer traffic flowing from the customer to the LAN switch, transfers the customer traffic directly to the router, transfers the customer traffic directly to the router, or outputs the customer traffic to the router or outside through a predetermined tunneling under a control of the service manager.
