Heuristic Strategy of Service Function Chain Deployment Based on N-Base Continuous Digital Coding in Network Function Virtualization Environment

, 2022
As a novel network architecture, network function virtualization (NFV) greatly improves the flexibility and scalability of service provision. Deploying the service function chain (SFC) in an NFV environment needs to coordinate the instantiation of the ...

Deterministic Latency/Jitter-aware Service Function Chaining over Beyond 5G Edge Fabric [PDF]

, 2022
Deterministic Networking (DetNet) has recently attracted much attention. It aims at studying the deterministic bounded latency and low latency variation for time-sensitive applications (e.g., industrial automation). To improve the quality of service (QoS)

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

Mathematics, 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 ...

On Optimal Placement of Hybrid Service Function Chains (SFCs) of Virtual Machines and Containers in a Generic Edge-Cloud Continuum

CoRR, 2020
Traditionally, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has been implemented to run on Virtual Machines (VMs) in form of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). More recently, the so-called Serverless Computing has gained traction in cloud computing, offering Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms that make use of containerization techniques to deploy services.
