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…
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) allows implantation of network functions to be independent of dedicated hardware devices. Any series of services can be represented by a service function chain which contains a set of virtualized…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is an emerging paradigm that turns hardware-dependent implementation of network functions (i.e., middleboxes) into software modules running on virtualized platforms, for significant cost reduction and…
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…
-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…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) aims to abstract the functionality of traditional proprietary hardware into software as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), which can run on commercial off the shelf (COTS) servers. Besides reducing…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a promising technology that promises to significantly reduce the operational costs of network services by deploying virtualized network functions (VNFs) to commodity servers in place of dedicated…
Service Function Chaining (SFC) is the problem of deploying various network service instances over geographically distributed data centers and providing inter-connectivity among them. The goal is to enable the network traffic to flow…
With the growing demand for data connectivity, network service providers are faced with the task of reducing their capital and operational expenses while simultaneously improving network performance and addressing the increased connectivity…
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…

Network virtualization has caught the attention of many researchers in recent years. It facilitates the process of creating several virtual networks over a single physical network. Despite this advantage, however, network virtualization…
It is expected that the next generation cellular networks provide a connected society with fully mobility to empower the socio-economic transformation. Several other technologies will benefits of this evolution, such as Internet of Things,…
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 growing demand for openness, scalability, and granularity, mobile network function virtualization (NFV) has emerged as a key enabler for most mobile network operators. NFV decouples network functions from hardware devices. This…
Network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined network (SDN) have become emerging network paradigms, allowing virtualized network function (VNF) deployment at a low cost. Even though VNF deployment can be flexible, it is still…
Satellite networks, as a supplement to terrestrial networks, can provide effective computing services for Internet of Things (IoT) users in remote areas. Due to the resource limitation of satellites, such as in computing, storage, and…
Network functions (e.g., firewalls, load balancers, etc.) have been traditionally provided through proprietary hardware appliances. Often, hardware appliances need to be hardwired back to back to form a service chain providing chained…
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…
With the advent of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Physical Network Functions (PNFs) are gradually being replaced by Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) that are hosted on general purpose servers. Depending on the call flows for…
