The CNTT (Common NFVI Telecom Taskforce) launched officially in June 2019. Its mission is to define a common NFV Infrastructure to simplify the development and deployment of virtualized networking application for the telecom industry. The group held its first community wide F2F meeting with around 80 vendor and operator attendees, with the objective of gathering requirements for the contents of the Release 2 document. CNTT develops Reference Models and Reference Architectures. This is a wiki space for using those outputs to create Reference Implementations and Reference Certifications.
The CIRV project is a bootstrap project for validation and testing requirement coming from CNTT. Also note that CIRV is not the only project working closely with CNTT. Airship (https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/AIR) is working on Reference Implementations of CNTT. And Functest (https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/functest) provide comformance tests and Xtesting framework for Reference Comformance.
CNTT is currently working on the common NFVi reference model and reference architecture. The goals of CNTT can only be achieved if the model and architecture specifications end up being implemented as a reference for vendors to compare their commercial products against. Therefore, it is this project’s goal to work with upstream communities and other related projects in Anuket to create reference implementations as one or several scenarios of Anuket, along with required test cases and test frameworks.
Detailed mission for this project includes:
As the Common NFVI initiative matures, project scope is expected to grow significantly. This project will periodically review scope and make recommendations to the TSC as to whether it should be split into multiple projects focusing on different areas, by far it has included cirv-sdv for software delivery validation, cirv-hdv for hardware delivery validation, much more project might be introduced with Anuket mission.
The project will act as the landing space for CNTT RA within Anuket, and will be a starting point for creating RIs. The scope of this project includes:
Anuket Testing Projects that are already looking to meet CNTT requirements with new features should continue to do so.
Documentation will be available on official Anuket Documentation portal and will include:

Project Name: Common Infrastructure Realization & Validation (CIRV)
Based what archived previously in OPNFV, currently there are several sub-projects included in CIRV classified by domain, software delivery validation (short for cirv-sdv), hardware delivery validation(short for cirv-hdv).
