Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has revolutionized service provisioning in cloud
datacenter networks. It enables the complete decoupling of Network Functions (NFs) from …

Packet and optical networks are managed independently in both current carrier networks
and datacenter interconnection networks, which results in a lack of service agility and is a …

Recently, network services are increasingly connecting computational elements within and
across datacenters. In the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment, to …

Emerging cloud-based applications, running in geographically distributed data centers
(DCs), generate new dynamic traffic patterns which claim for a more efficient management of …

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 …

With the fast development of Internet, network traffic rapidly grows and the size of Internet
scale gradually becomes bigger. It brings serious challenges to Network Service Chain …

This paper describes the requirements and challenges on WAN due to NFV in case of
datacenter interconnections crossing heterogeneous domains for technology, control and …

In multi-domain optical networks, due to confidentiality and management considerations, it
may be infeasible to exchange complete domain state information among domains …

Current service function chaining (SFC) solutions are cumbersome adaptations of classic
routing mechanisms, which lack flexibility and agility to cope with new dynamic services …
