In the context of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), a Network Service (NS) is defined as
a composition of Network Functions (NFs), which can be Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) …

Network function virtualization enables to deploy network services more flexibly with virtual
network functions (VNFs). A service provider needs to allocate the required VNFs to hosts …

This paper investigates a service deployment model for network function virtualization which
handles per-flow priority to minimize the deployment cost. Service providers need to …

Abstract Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has been proposed as an important
paradigm to speed up the service deployment and provision, by decoupling network …

The Network Function Virtualization (NFV) framework is an enabler for the automation of
Network Service (NS) management. In the context of NFV, an NS is realized by …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a system that provides application services by
connecting virtual network functions (VNFs), and is expected to accommodate new service …

Network function virtualization (NFV) implements network functions as software, which
enables flexible, resource‐efficient, and rapid provision of network services. In NFV, network …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) defines a dynamic environment to deploy Virtual
Network Functions (VNF) as constituents of Network Services (NS) that provide specific …

Using Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), network functions are virtualized and chained
together to provide a network service. Often, a service chain can be allocated in multiple …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has been emerging as an appealing solution that
transforms complex network functions from dedicated hardware implementations to software …
