On Dynamic Service Function Chain Deployment and Readjustment

IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, 2017
Network function virtualization (NFV) is a promising technology to decouple the network functions from dedicated hardware elements, leading to the significant cost reduction in network service provisioning. As more and more users are trying to access their services wherever and whenever, we expect the NFV-related service function chains (SFCs) to be ...

On the Effective Parallelization and Near-Optimal Deployment of Service Function Chains

IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2021
Network operators compose Service Function Chains (SFCs) by tying different network functions (e.g., packet inspection, flow shaping, network address translation) together and process traffic flows in the order the network functions are chained. Leveraging the technique of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), each network function can be “virtualized”

Service Function Chain Deployment with Guaranteed Resilience

2020 IEEE 17th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS), 2020
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) transforms the implementation of network functions from expensive hardwares to software middleboxes. These software middleboxes, also called Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), are executed on virtualization platforms, which makes them more prone to error compared to dedicated hardwares. One effective way of ensuring

Resource-Aware Service Function Chain Deployment in Cloud-Edge Environment

IEEE INFOCOM 2021 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS), 2021
With the development of network technology, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) provides a good paradigm of sharing network resources, aiming to transfer network functions from hardware-based devices to software-defined Virtual Network Function (VNF) instances.

Service Function Chain Deployment for 5G Delay-Sensitive Network Slicing

2021 International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (IWCMC), 2021
In recent years, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has been at a high-speed development stage. However, the diversity of services and technical standards in the Industrial Internet of Things and vertical industries makes it impossible for the existing communication technologies to use the same physical network to meet different needs of services. To

Hybrid Service Chain Deployment in Networks with Unique Function

ICC 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2019
In Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Service Function Chain (SFC) is composed of Virtual Network Function (VNF) nodes that are chained via VNF links. SFCs can be specified as unidirectional or bidirectional. A unidirectional SFC (u-SFC) demands the traffic being forwarded via the VNFs in one direction, while a bidirectional SFC (b-SFC) requires ...

Near-Optimal Deployment of Service Chains by Exploiting Correlations Between Network Functions

IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, 2020
A modern Network Function Virtualization (NFV) service is usually expressed in a service chain that contains a list of ordered network functions, each can run in one or multiple virtual machines. Although lots of efforts have been devoted to service chain deployment, the researchers normally consider a simple model of network functions where different ...
