Network Function Virtualization and Service Function Chaining Frameworks: A Comprehensive Review of Requirements, Objectives, Implementations, and Open Research Challenges

open access: yesFuture Internet, 2022
Network slicing has become a fundamental property for next-generation networks, especially because an inherent part of 5G standardisation is the ability for service providers to migrate some or all of their network services to a virtual network ...

Introducing mobile edge computing capabilities through distributed 5G Cloud Enabled Small Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Current trends in broadband mobile networks are addressed towards the placement of different capabilities at the edge of the mobile network in a centralised way. On one hand, the split of the eNB between baseband processing units and remote radio headers

Multi-domain service orchestration over networks and clouds: a unified approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
End-to-end service delivery often includes transparently inserted Network Functions (NFs) in the path. Flexible service chaining will require dynamic instantiation of both NFs and traffic forwarding overlays.

An online service function chain orchestration method for profit maximization in edge computing networks

open access: yesEngineering Reports, 2023
Network function virtualization (NFV) is an appealing solution that transforms complex network functions from dedicated hardware to software instances running in a virtualized environment.

Reinforcement Learning-Based Delay-Aware Path Exploration of Parallelized Service Function Chains

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
The parallel processing of the service function chain (SFC) is expected to provide better low-delay service delivery, because it breaks through the bottleneck of traditional serial processing mode in which service delay increases linearly with the SFC ...

System engineering approach applied to Galileo system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Developing a localization system, with more precise performances than GPS that guarantees Europe autonomy is a complex challenge that ESA and a large number of European economical actors of space industry were decided to meet.

Service function chain embedding algorithm with wireless multicast in mobile edge computing network

open access: yesTongxin xuebao, 2020
To resolve the excessive system overhead and serious traffic congestion in user-oriented service function chain (SFC) embedding in mobile edge computing (MEC) networks,a content-oriented joint wireless multicast and SFC embedding algorithm was proposed ...

MeDICINE: Rapid Prototyping of Production-Ready Network Services in Multi-PoP Environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Virtualized network services consisting of multiple individual network functions are already today deployed across multiple sites, so called multi-PoP (points of presence) environ- ments.

A model for the analysis of security policies in service function chains

open access: yes, 2017
Two emerging architectural paradigms, i.e., Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), enable the deployment and management of Service Function Chains (SFCs).
