Network function virtualization (NFV) provides an efficient and flexible way to deploy network
services in the form of service function chains (SFCs) by adopting generalized equipment …

This paper proposes a service deployment model for network function virtualization to
minimize the deployment cost with capacity sharing and priority queuing. A service provider …

Network function virtualization enables service providers to flexibly deploy network services.
The existing works mainly focus on function placement and capacity allocation without …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) achieves flexible provisioning of network services by
using Service Function Chain (SFC) composed of a set of 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 …

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

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is an emerging initiative where virtualization is used
to consolidate Network Functions (NFs) onto high volume servers (HVS), switches, and …
