Introducing Development Features for Virtualized Network Services
2018
IEEE Communications Magazine
Network virtualization and softwarizing network functions are trends aiming at higher network efficiency, cost reduction and agility. ...
This continuous cycle between development and operations, a concept known as DevOps, is a well known strategy in software development. ...
Several flavors of such a model are being devised by ETSI-NFV [5] and several research projects such as UNIFY, T-NOVA, OSM and SONATA. ...

Some Controversial Opinions on Software-Defined Data Plane Services
2013
2013 IEEE SDN for Future Networks and Services (SDN4FNS)
Several recent proposals, namely Software Defined Networks (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Network Service Chaining (NSC), aim to transform the network into a programmable platform, focusing ...
This paper sits on the same line of the NFV/NSC proposals but with a more long-term horizon, and it presents its considerations on some controversial aspects that arise when considering the programmability ...
This version includes some modifications that take into account the discussion during the presentation of the paper at the SDN4FNS conference. ...

Introducing Automated Verification and Validation for Virtualized Network Functions and Services
2019
IEEE Communications Magazine
By adding such a platform to the NFV ecosystem, new business models emerge as we discuss in this article. ...
We tackle this challenge by introducing the novel concept of a verification and validation (V&V) platform for NFV, which enables automatic testing and qualification of single network functions and complex ...
To answer this question, we take a closer look at a typical NFV scenario shown in Fig. 1 . It shows a network service, consisting of four VNFs that are chained together to form an SFC. ...

Online and Batch Algorithms for VNFs Placement and Chaining
2019
Computer Networks
Since the online R-ILP treats the requests sequentially, a batch strategy that operates on a set of requests is also proposed to improve performance. ...
The online algorithm processes the VNF-FG requests on a sequential basis as they arrive while the batch mode treats several requests jointly over a batch window. ...
When operating online, the solutions can be instantaneously 755 optimal but are typically suboptimal over longer time durations since there is no look ahead nor combined look at past, present and future ...

Software-Defined Data Plane Enhancing SDN and NFV
2015
IEICE transactions on communications
In this paper, we posit that extension of SDN to support deeply and flexibly programmable, software-defined data plane significantly enhance SDN and NFV and their interaction in terms of (1) enhanced interaction ...
However, we observe two limitations in this model of separation of SDN and NFV, leaving an interesting research area as a gap between them. ...

Towards a dynamic adaptive placement of virtual network functions under ONAP
