In this paper., we study a way to reduce data overhead made by packet encapsulation in
Service Function Chaining (SFC). SFC uses packet encapsulation for creation of network …

In legacy networks, network functions (eg, firewalls, NAT, QoS) are highly dependent on
dedicated hardware. It is sophisticated and costly for network operators to determine the …

Embedding Service Function Chains (SFCs) into the network represents scheduling network
resources to provide user services. Embedding schemes are affected by many factors, such …

Service function chaining is a network capability that provides support for application-driven-
networking through the ordered interconnection of service functions. The lifecycle …

Service Function Chaining (SFC) provides tailored service to user by orderly connecting
several service/network functions. SFCs are susceptible to failures in network data plane …

Service function chaining (SFC) enables the creation of composite network services that
consist of an ordered set of service functions. For scalable and fault-tolerant SFC services …

Network slicing has become a fundamental property for next-generation networks,
especially because an inherent part of 5G standardisation is the ability for service providers …

Emerging artificial intelligence techniques enable the Internet-connected devices
automatically generate massive SFC requests in scenarios with ultra-reliability demands …

With the advent of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) techniques, a subset of the Internet
traffic will be treated by a chain of virtual network functions (VNFs) during their journeys …

Business models of network service providers are undergoing an evolving transformation
fueled by vertical customer demands and technological advances such as 5G, Software …
