Hello everyone,

I've checked the documentation of oVirt, but cannot find if following function can work on oVirt or not.
- NFV (Network Functions Virtualization)

Does someone know NFV can work on oVirt?

For your reference, Red Hat OpenStack Platform seems to support NFV as follows
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/12/html-single/network_functions_virtualization_product_guide/index

I think you can find useful information here for RHV 4.4, that should be applicable to oVirt 4.4 too:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/administration_guide/sect-virtual_network_interface_cards#Enabling_Passthrough_on_a_vNIC_Profile

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/administration_guide/sect-hosts_and_networking#setting-up-and-configuring-sr-iov

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/hardware_considerations_for_implementing_sr-iov/

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/sect-migrating_virtual_machines_between_hosts#Live_migration_prerequisites

I don't know if it is supported to also use NFV with OVN external provider in oVirt/RHV

HIH,
