The ultra-fast speed and massive capacity in 5G networks push huge amounts of data to
networks. With network function virtualization, these data will go through multiple service …

The adoption of Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networking
technologies allow network infrastructure operator flexibly orchestrating resources to provide …

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

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 …

Abstract Service Function Chaining (SFC) has become an integral part of every emerging
application to satisfy its specific demand. Due to the massive increase in such diverse …

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 …

Mobile networks have urgent demands of fine-grained, cost-effective and flexible service
provision for diversified user traffic. To cope with these demands, researchers have …

Service Function Chains (SFCs) are compositions of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)
designed to provide complex network services. In this work, we propose a strategy to build …

Service providers today rely on service-chaining policy enforced by omnipresent
middleboxes (MBoxes) to achieve crucial performance and security guarantees in their …

The emerging network paradigms allow service providers to completely rethink the way
network services are designed, developed, provisioned, and managed. Service Function …
