Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for implementing acceleration processing on a VNF. In the present invention, an acceleration request of performing acceleration processing on a virtualized network function VNF is received; a hardware acceleration device capable of performing acceleration processing on the VNF is determined according to the acceleration request; and an acceleration resource of the hardware acceleration device is allocated to the VNF, so as to perform acceleration processing on the VNF. According to the present invention, a corresponding hardware acceleration device can be dynamically selected for and allocated to a VNF, implementing virtualized management on the hardware acceleration device, and improving resource utilization.
