FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS AND DECOMPOSITION

<p>This document presents an initial assessment of the Superfluidity reusable components in different domains, including the NFV, the Cloud RAN and mobile edge computing domains. We proceed to decompose existing monolithic network functionality into reusable components. The principle of Reusable Functional Block is introduced. Example applications of this concept are concept are presented in heterogeneous domains: Radio Access Networks, Mobile Edge Computing, fixed networking equipment, packet<br> processing state machines. A set of use cases are introduced at the end of this document, presenting examples of usability of the RFBs.</p
