Allocating resources to virtualized network functions and services to meet service level agreements is a challenging task for NFV management and orchestration systems. This becomes even more challenging when agile development methodologies,…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) seeks to replace hardware middleboxes with software-based Network Functions (NFs). NFV systems are seeing greater deployment in the cloud and at the edge. However, especially at the edge, there is a…
The concept of a softwarized network leveraging technologies such as SDN and NFV comes with different merits such as decreased Operational Expenses (OPEX) and less dependency on underlying hardware components. With the amount of increased…
Network functions virtualization (NFV) allows operators to employ NF chains to realize custom policies, and dynamically add instances to meet demand or for failover. NFs maintain detailed per- and cross-flow state which needs careful…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) platforms consume significant energy, introducing high operational costs in edge and data centers. This paper presents a novel framework called GreenNFV that optimizes resource usage for network…
This paper proposes a framework for integrating data plane (DP) acceleration within the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) architecture. Data plane programming (DPP) proves to be beneficial for NFV environments, as it provides full…
Virtualization is a framework of dividing the resources of a computer into multiple execution environments which offers a lot of benefits including flexibility, security, ease to configuration and reduction of cost but at the same time it…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) promises greater flexibility for directing packet flows, and Network Function Virtualization promises to enable dynamic management of software-based network functions. However, the current divide between an…
Through their computational and forwarding capabilities, 5G networks can support multiple vertical services. Such services may include several common virtual (network) functions (VNFs), which could be shared to increase resource efficiency.…
How can applications be deployed on the cloud to achieve maximum performance? This question is challenging to address with the availability of a wide variety of cloud Virtual Machines (VMs) with different performance capabilities. The…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is enabling the softwarization of traditional network services, commonly deployed in dedicated hardware, into generic hardware in form of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), which can be located flexibly…
Network function virtualization (NFV) enables on-demand network function (NF) deployment providing agile and dynamic network services. Through an evaluation metric that quantifies the minimal reliability among all NFs for all demands,…
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). Today, cloud…
We present a comparative analysis of the maximum performance achieved by the Linpack benchmark on compute intensive hardware publicly available from multiple cloud providers. We study both performance within a single compute node, and…
The Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm is enabling flexibility, programmability and implementation of traditional network functions into generic hardware, in form of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). To provide services, the…
With the increasing demand for openness, flexibility, and monetization the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) of mobile network functions has become the embracing factor for most mobile network operators. Early reported field deployments…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) provides higher flexibility for network operators and reduces the complexity in network service deployment. Using NFV, Virtual Network Functions (VNF) can be located in various network nodes and chained…
Pervasive encryption makes large-scale labeling infeasible for traffic analysis, while security operations demand edge analysis to avert service degradation and further vulnerabilities. These pressures have produced two disjoint research…
Due to the intrinsically inefficient service provisioning in traditional networks, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) keeps gaining attention from both industry and academia. By replacing the purpose-built, expensive, proprietary network…
NFV management and orchestration (MANO) systems are being developed to meet the agile and flexible management requirements of virtualized network services in the 5G era and beyond. In this regard, ETSI ISG NFV has specified a standard NFV…
