Abstract Service Function Chaining (SFC) supports services through linking an ordered list
of functions. There may be multiple instances of the same function, which provides a …

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 …

Computation of service function chains in multi-domain networks is critical for enabling the
wide deployment of network function visualization for providing end-to-end network services …

Network operators compose Service Function Chains (SFCs) by tying different network
functions (eg, packet inspection, flow shaping, network address translation) together and …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) enables to implement network functions in software,
high-speed packet processing functions which traditionally are dominated by hardware …

The authors propose a vertex-centric distributed resource orchestration algorithm for finding
all feasible mappings of a service function chain in multi-domain networks. Simulation …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) enables service flexibility and cost reduction by
replacing traditional hardware middle-boxes with Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) running …

With the advancement of edge computing and network function virtualization, it is promising
to provide flexible and low-latency network services at the network edge. However, due to …

Through network function virtualization (NFV), telecom providers aim to flexibly re-use
generic-purpose hardware to provide services on-demand and in an agile way. Service …
