The orchestration of Service Function Chain in multiple clouds calls for low-cost, low-latency
and scalability. In the existing literature, several techniques have been proposed to meet …

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 …

Network function virtualization is a new network concept that moves network functions from
dedicated hardware to software-defined applications running on standard high volume …

Emerging edge computing has seen latency-sensitive services moving rapidly from cloud to
the edge to take advantage of its close vicinity to end users, while cloud is retained for …

Generally, a service request must specify its required virtual network functions (VNFs) and
their specific order, which is known as the service function chain (SFC). When mapping …

Service Function Chaining (SFC) is regarded as an important concept for next-generation
communication networks because it can flexibly tackle diverse usage scenarios. Due to SFC …

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 …

With the development of network technology such as software-defined network (SDN) and
network function virtualization (NFV), Internet service providers (ISPs) are increasingly …

One of the main challenges of cloud-based service provisioning is to deploy a coordinated
control of both application-and network-layer resources in order to provide adaptive service …

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 …
