description The proper execution and management of heterogeneous Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) relies on the employment of efficient and comprehensive VNF platforms. However, current systems are developed without following any standardized reference architecture, thus leading to proprietary and monolithic solutions. Furthermore, those platforms lack support for recent NFV developements, such as VNF Components (VNFC) and the Network Service Header (NSH). In this work, we present an architecture for VNF platforms that is fully compliant with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NFV architecture, while also enabling the execution of both VNFC and NSH. Through the development of a system prototype called COmprehensive VirtualizEd NF (COVEN) platform, we were able to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed architecture and to demonstrate the benefits of supporting VNFC and NSH, such as flexibility and efficiency.
