Optimal orchestration of virtual network functions [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Networks, 2018
-The emergence of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is bringing a set of novel algorithmic challenges in the operation of communication networks. NFV introduces volatility in the management of network functions, which can be dynamically orchestrated, i.e., placed, resized, etc. Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) can belong to VNF chains, where nodes

Efficient Virtual Network Function Placement Strategies for Cloud Radio Access Networks

open access: yes, 2018
The new generation of 5G mobile services places stringent requirements for cellular network operators in terms of latency and costs. The latest trend in radio access networks (RANs) is to pool the baseband units (BBUs) of multiple radio base stations and

Application-Centric Provisioning of Virtual Security Network Functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) enables flexible implementation and provisioning of network functions as virtual machines running on commodity servers. Due to the availability of multiple hosting servers, such network functions (also called Virtual

Generalized virtual networking: An enabler for service centric networking and network function virtualization [PDF]

open access: yes2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks), 2014
In this paper we introduce the Generalized Virtual Networking (GVN) concept. GVN provides a framework to influence the routing of packets based on service level information that is carried in the packets. It is based on a protocol header inserted between the Network and Transport layers, therefore it can be seen as a layer 3.5 solution.

Balancing the Migration of Virtual Network Functions with Replications in Data Centers

open access: yes, 2017
The Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm is enabling flexibility, programmability and implementation of traditional network functions into generic hardware, in form of the so-called Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).

Distributed computing methodology for training neural networks in an image-guided diagnostic application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Distributed computing is a process through which a set of computers connected by a network is used collectively to solve a single problem. In this paper, we propose a distributed computing methodology for training neural networks for the detection of ...
