Placement of virtual network functions for network services
International Journal of Network Management, 2023SummaryNetwork function virtualization (NFV) is a name of technology for replacing hardware‐based network functions with software programs. Virtual network function (VNF) is a software program that replaces the hardware‐based network functionality. The replacement of the hardware‐based network functions (middleboxes) with software programs promises the

Modular network function virtualization
2017 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS), 2017Network functions like load balancers and stateful firewalls which traditionally have been packaged in a single proprietary device are now being virtuahzed in software across multiple physical devices networked together to achieve greater flexibility and scale. A virtualization can become very complex.

Algorithms for functionalities of virtual network: a survey
The Journal of Supercomputing, 2021Nowadays, network functionalities are provided through dedicated hardware middleboxes. These hardware middleboxes are statically embedded with network topology to provide the network services. The types of middleboxes increase in the network, with an increased number of users and network services.

Virtualizing the Network Services: Network Function Virtualization
2017Network function virtualization (NFV) is rapidly emerging as the de facto approach operators will use to deploy their networks. NFV leverages on cloud computing principles to change the way NFs like gateways and middleboxes are offered. As opposed to today’s tightly coupling between the NF software and dedicated hardware, NFV concept requires the ...

Virtual Network Function Placement in IoT Network
2019 15th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC), 2019This paper investigates an efficient placing mechanism for placing Virtual Network Function (VNF) on the cloud networks to enable the construction of Internet of Things (IoT) service chains with minimal resource usage cost. In particular, we propose a model taking IoT network infrastructure into account.

Adaptive service function selection for Network Function Virtualization networking
Future Generation Computer Systems, 2019Abstract In multiple Service Nodes (SNs) in a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) environment, numerous network functions are carried out. This study concerns the selection of Service Function Instances (SFIs) that are integrated into a Service Function Path (SFP) in resource-constrained networks with various functional requirements.

Resilient deployment of virtual network functions
2013 5th International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems and Workshops (ICUMT), 2013Moving services to the cloud is a trend that has been going on for years now, with a constant increase in sophistication and complexity of such services. Today, even critical infrastructure operators are considering moving their services and data to the cloud; most prominently are telecommunication operators, who are calling for running their service ...

The virtual network function placement problem
2015 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS), 2015Network functions are widely deployed in modern networks, providing various network services ranging from intrusion detection to HTTP caching, for the purpose of performance, security or policy compliance. According to a recent survey [6], network function deployments are ubiquitous: on par with the number of L3 infrastructures.

Predictive Analysis in Network Function Virtualization
Proceedings of the Internet Measurement Conference 2018, 2018Recent deployments of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) architectures have gained tremendous traction. While virtualization introduces benefits such as lower costs and easier deployment of network functions, it adds additional layers that reduce transparency into faults at lower layers.
