As Communication Service Providers (CSPs) adopt the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm, they need to transition their network function capacity to a virtualized infrastructure with different Network Functions running on a set of…

As mobile network users look forward to the connectivity speeds of 5G networks, service providers are facing challenges in complying with connectivity demands without substantial financial investments. Network Function Virtualization (NFV)…

Lightweight Tunnels (LWTs) in the Linux kernel enable efficient per-route tunneling and are widely used by protocols such as In Situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM), Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6), and Routing Protocol…

It is increasingly common to outsource network functions (NFs) to the cloud. However, no cloud providers offer NFs-as-a-Service (NFaaS) that allows users to run custom NFs. Our work addresses how a cloud provider can offer NFaaS. We use the…

Network function virtualization (NFV) is a crucial technology for the 5G network development because it can improve the flexibility of employing hardware and reduce the construction of base stations. There are vast service chains in NFV to…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a new paradigm, enabling service innovation through virtualization of traditional network functions located flexibly in the network in form of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). Since VNFs can only be…

With the exponential growth of the amount of data available on the Internet, optimizing the response time and resource usage for data access becomes essential. Caches are an effective solution that brings data closer to clients, eliminating…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) can cost-efficiently provide network services by running different virtual network functions (VNFs) at different virtual machines (VMs) in a correct order. This can result in strong couplings between…

Future mobile networks supporting Internet of Things are expected to provide both high throughput and low latency to user-specific services. One way to overcome this challenge is to adopt Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and…

Network function virtualization enables network operators to implement new services through a process called service function chain mapping. The concept of Service Function Chain (SFC) is introduced to provide complex services, which is an…

This paper presents a system called NetKernel that decouples the network stack from the guest virtual machine and offers it as an independent module. NetKernel represents a new paradigm where network stack can be managed as part of the…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has shifted communication networks towards more adaptable software solutions, but this transition raises new security concerns, particularly in public cloud deployments. While Intel's Software Guard…

Notwithstanding the significant research effort Network Function Virtualization (NFV) architectures received over the last few years little attention has been placed on optimizing proactive caching when considering it as a service chain.…

Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) are used to provide services to enterprises with geographically dispersed locations in a flexible and efficient way. We focus on SD-WAN services based on the Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6)…

With the emergence of network function virtualization (NFV), and software-defined networking (SDN), the realization and implementation of service function chains (SFCs) have become much easier. An SFC is an ordered set of interconnected…

Stream processing is a compute paradigm that promises safe and efficient parallelism. Modern big-data problems are often well suited for stream processing's throughput-oriented nature. Realization of efficient stream processing requires…

Network function virtualization (NFV) is referred to the technology in which softwarized network functions virtually run on commodity servers. Such functions are called virtual network functions (VNFs). A specific service is composed of a…

High-quality Service Function Chaining (SFC) provisioning is provided by the timely execution of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in a defined sequence. Advanced Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) solutions are utilized in many studies to…

Distributed prefix caching accelerates long-context LLM serving by reusing KV cache entries for common context prefixes. However, KV cache fetches can become a bottleneck when network bandwidth is limited. Compression mitigates the…

Software is often used for Network Functions (NFs) -- such as firewalls, NAT, deep packet inspection, and encryption -- that are applied to traffic in the network. The community has hoped that NFV would enable rapid development of new NFs…
