Network Function Virtualization

IEEE Internet Computing, 2016
Network function virtualization (NFV) is a series of upcoming technologies that allow the high-volume packet-processing functions forming the modern Internet's core to be virtualized, so that they can run on commodity cloud computing platforms. This special issue of IEEE Internet Computing highlights some of the opportunities, challenges, and solutions

Virtual Network Function Placement with Function Decomposition for Virtual Network Slice

2018 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN), 2018
Virtual network functions (VNFs) are placed across the network to complete the required network performance of virtual network slice (vNS), and the placement of VNFs is flexible and problematic. Besides, a VNF can be decomposed into multiple sub-functions, and the same type of sub-function can be re-used by multiple VNFs.

Virtualizing the Network Services: Network Function Virtualization

2017
Network function virtualization (NFV) is rapidly emerging as the de facto approach operators will use to deploy their networks. NFV leverages on cloud computing principles to change the way NFs like gateways and middleboxes are offered. As opposed to today’s tightly coupling between the NF software and dedicated hardware, NFV concept requires the ...

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)

2021
Network functions virtualization (NFV) is consolidating as one of the base technologies for the design, deployment, and operation of network services. NFV can be seen as a natural evolution of the trend to cloud technologies in IT, and hence perceived as bringing them to the network provider environments.

Orchestrating Virtualized Network Functions

IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, 2016
Middleboxes or network appliances like firewalls, proxies, and WAN optimizers have become an integral part of today’s ISP and enterprise networks. Middlebox functionalities are usually deployed on expensive and proprietary hardware that require trained personnel for deployment and maintenance. Middleboxes contribute significantly to a network’s capital

Accelerating network function virtualization

2021
Network function virtualization (NFV) [50] is increasingly used to implement network operations traditionally implemented in customized ASICs. NFV employs commodity, general-purpose computer hardware located in a datacenter. General-purpose computing hardware has performance limitations limiting the scope of NFV.

Adaptive service function selection for Network Function Virtualization networking

Future Generation Computer Systems, 2019
Abstract In multiple Service Nodes (SNs) in a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) environment, numerous network functions are carried out. This study concerns the selection of Service Function Instances (SFIs) that are integrated into a Service Function Path (SFP) in resource-constrained networks with various functional requirements.
