A Robustness-Aware Real-Time SFC Routing Update Scheme in Multi-Tenant Clouds

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 2022
In multi-tenant clouds, requests need to traverse a set of network functions (NFs) in a specific order, referred to as a service function chain (SFC), for security and business logic issues.

FlexSFC: Flexible Resource Allocation and VNF Parallelism for Improved SFC Placement

IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization, 2022
To reduce the processing delay from the sequentially running virtual network functions (VNFs) in a service function chain (SFC), network function parallelism (NFP) is introduced that allows VNFs of the SFC to run in parallel.

A Caching SFC Proxy Based on eBPF

IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization, 2022
Service Functions (SFs) are intermediate processing nodes on the path of IP packets. With SF chaining (SFC), packets can be steered to multiple physical or virtual SFs in a specific order.

SFC

Proceedings of the 50th Annual Southeast Regional Conference, 2012
To support reprogramming in embedded network systems (ENSs), we present SFC, a simple flow control protocol for communication between serial devices, which enables fast and reliable data transmission. The reprogramming strategy uses a boot loader, responsible for receiving the application program over a serial communication channel, storing it in the ...

Hierarchical Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning for SFC Placement on Multiple Domains

IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks, 2021
Service Function Chaining (SFC) is the process of decomposing a network service into multiple functions that successively process packets to deliver the end-to-end service.

An online, comparative effectiveness trial of mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII) versus solution-focused coaching (SFC) questions

Coaching: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, 2021
Mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII) and solution-focused coaching (SFC) questions are self-coaching interventions that share similar theoretical constructs and stimulate constructive thinking in terms of idealised future outcomes and
