Task-Similarity-Based VNF Aggregation for Air–Ground Integrated Networks

open access: yesSensors, 2023
In a harsh environment, function aggregation of air–ground integrated network service function chaining (SFC) deployment can easily cause network load imbalance, which affects the network security and reliability.

Scalable Architecture for Service Function Chain Orchestration [PDF]

open access: yes2015 Fourth European Workshop on Software Defined Networks, 2015
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) enables to implement network functions in software, high-speed packet processing functions which traditionally are dominated by hardware implementations. Virtualized Network Functions (NFs) may be deployed on generic-purpose servers, e.g., in datacenters.

Evaluation of Reactive Service Function Path Discovery in Symmetrical Environment

open access: yesTelfor Journal, 2022
In this paper we continue our study of path discovery process for Service Function Chaining (SFC) in Software Defined Network (SDN). By default, service function (SF) paths are established proactively - before data transmission takes place.
