Online and Batch Algorithms for VNFs Placement and Chaining

Oussama Soualah, Marouen Mechtri, Chaima Ghribi, Djamal Zeghlache
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  ...

Towards a dynamic adaptive placement of virtual network functions under ONAP

Farah Slim, Fabrice Guillemin, Annie Gravey, Yassine Hadjadj-Aoul
2017 2017 IEEE Conference on Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networks (NFV-SDN)  
For this purpose, we rely on a three-level data center hierarchy exploiting co-location facilities available within Main and Core Central Offices.  ...  We precisely propose an active VNFs' placement strategy, which dynamically offload requests on the basis of the load observed within a data center.  ...  To further analyze the ONAP architecture, we take a closer look at the two components described above.  ...

2015 IEEE Access  
Then, we provide a historic view of the involvement from middlebox to NFV.  ...  This architecture benefits a wide range of applications (e.g., service chaining) and is becoming the dominant form of NFV.  ...  We also look at the history of NFV, presenting how middleboxes evolve to virtual network functions. In particular, we choose service chaining as a typical application of NFV.  ...
