Traditional Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSes) are generally implemented on
vendor proprietary appliances or middleboxes with poor versatility and flexibility. Emerging …

Existing network service chaining frameworks are based on a" packet-centric" model where
each NF in a chain is given every packet for processing. This approach becomes both …

Most Service Function Chains (SFCs) in Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are realized
on the software or offloading to the network interface card (NIC) and FPGA. However, the …

Due to the intrinsically inefficient service provisioning in traditional networks, Network
Function Virtualization (NFV) keeps gaining attention from both industry and academia. By …

The emergence of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Service Function Chaining
(SFC) together enable flexible and agile network management and traffic engineering. Due …

A Service Function Chain (SFC) is an ordered sequence of network functions (NFs). With the
emerging Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm, NFs can be deployed as …

NFV has entered into a new era that heterogeneous frameworks coexist. NFs built upon
those frameworks are thus not interoperable, obstructing operators from getting the best of …

Abstract Network Function Virtualization (NFV) provides great flexibility in solving the
problem of deploying service function chains (SFCs). The existing serial SFCs organize …

With the development of information technology, the network consists of various proprietary
hardware devices, and the use of these devices brings problems. To solve problems …

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) leverages virtualization and cloud computing
technologies to make networks more flexible, manageable, and scalable. Instead of using …
