Joint Optimization of Service Function Placement and Flow Distribution for Service Function Chaining

open access: yesIEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 2017
In this paper, we consider the problem of optimal dynamic service function (SF) placement and flow routing in a SF chaining (SFC) enabled network. We formulate a multi-objective optimization problem to maximize the acceptable flow rate and to minimize the energy cost for multiple service chains.

On Achieving Trustworthy Service Function Chaining

IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, 2021
Service Function Chaining (SFC) has recently received considerable attentions from both industry and academia, due to its potential for improving the flexibility of provisioning and composition of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) to suit application-specific needs.

Tenant-defined service function chaining in a multi-site network slice [PDF]

open access: yesFuture Generation Computer Systems, 2021
Service Function Chaining (SFC) enables dynamic and adaptive network service provisioning. However, virtual infrastructure providers are reluctant to disclose SFC APIs and infrastructure monitoring information to tenants, therefore undermining tenants ...

Large-Scale Service Function Chaining Management and Orchestration in Smart City

open access: yesElectronics (Switzerland), 2023
In the core networking of smart cities, mobile network operators need solutions to reflect service function chaining (SFC) orchestration policies while ensuring efficient resource utilization and preserving quality of service (QoS) in large-scale ...

Service Function Chaining in Wildfire Scenarios

2021 IEEE 7th International Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft), 2021
Mission Critical Services (MCS) are associated with public safety networks and their support has been progressively introduced in LTE/5G standards. MCS are composed by distinct functions that are required for voice and critical data communications, along with strict security requirements.

Optimal placement of service function in service function chaining

2016 Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN), 2016
In service function chaining (SFC), an ordered list of service functions (SFs) is specified for network services, and those SFs should be placed in appropriate service nodes (SNs) to satisfy the given service latency requirement. In this paper, we formulate an integer non-linear programming (INLP) problem for the optimal placement of SFs when the ...

Virtual network function placement and routing for multicast service chaining using merged paths [PDF]

open access: yesOptical Switching and Networking, 2020
This paper proposes a virtual network function placement and routing model for multicast service chaining based on merging multiple service paths (MSC-M). The multicast service chaining (MSC) is used for providing a network-virtualization based multicast

Service failure diagnosis in service function chain

2017 19th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS), 2017
Network function virtualization (NFV) is a powerful emerging technique with widespread applicability. It provides Network Functions (NFs) through software virtualization techniques that decouple software and hardware. Some connected network functions constitute a service function chain (SFC).

Distributed service function failover mechanism in service function chaining

2017 International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN), 2017
In service function chaining (SFC), end-to-end traffic flows are classified and processed by an ordered set of service functions (SFs). When SF in the chain fails, the corresponding traffic flows cannot be processed further to reach the destination until the failed SF recovers.

Fault Tolerant Service Function Chaining

Proceedings of the Annual conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication on the applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communication, 2020
Network traffic typically traverses a sequence of middleboxes forming a service function chain, or simply a chain. Tolerating failures when they occur along chains is imperative to the availability and reliability of enterprise applications. Making a chain fault-tolerant is challenging since, in the event of failures, the state of faulty middleboxes ...
