As the fast increasing of multi-domain networks, energy efficiency has been widely focused
on and become a critical issue in service function chaining (SFC). In this paper, we propose …

Abstract Service function chaining (SFC) provisioning is helpful not only for saving the
capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) of a network provider but …

Service Function Chaining (SFC) is a service deployment concept that promises cost
efficiency and increases flexibility for computer networks. On the other hand, Software …

With the emergence of virtualization technology, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and
Software Defined Networking (SDN) make the network function abstract from the hardware …

Service function chaining (SFC) allows the forwarding of traffic flows along a chain of virtual
network functions (VNFs). Software defined networking (SDN) solutions can be used to …

Future networks are expected to support cross-domain, cost-aware and fine-grained
services in an efficient and flexible manner. Service Function Chaining (SFC) has been …

Abstract Service Function Chaining (SFC) has gained momentum as one of the building
blocks of the 5G ecosystem. Indeed, SFC combined with other promising technologies such …

Service function chaining (SFC) refers to as an order set composed of multiple service
functions (SFs) that specific flows should be processed. In this paper, we formulate an …
