This paper investigates the slice-based service function chain embedding (SBSFCE)
problem, which is to embed the service function chains (SFCs) of flows from different slices …

We address the problem of embedding service chains consisting of a sequence of virtual
network functions (VNF) for 5G slices, considering diversified slice requirements. We …

Network slicing (NS) is recognized as a key technology for the 5G mobile network in
enabling the network to support multiple diversified vertical markets over a shared physical …

The softwarization and virtualization based Network Slicing (NS) technology provides the
momentum for integrating the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) systems into the 5G …

Network slicing has been viewed as a key enabler for the next-generation software-defined
and cloud-based network (eg, 5G and beyond) to accommodate diverse services in a …

Intent-based networking paradigm aims at easing the complexity of network management for
operators/tenants. Intents are expressed as high-level requirements in terms of what is …

Network virtualization and network slicing are key-features of the fifth generation (5G) of
mobile networks to overcome the challenge of increasingly diverging network requirements …

Abstract Service Function Chaining (SFC) enables dynamic and adaptive network service
provisioning. However, virtual infrastructure providers are reluctant to disclose SFC APIs and …

In this work, we consider the network slice composition problem for Service Function Chains
(SFCs), which addresses the issue of allocating bandwidth and VNF resources in a way that …

Network function virtualization (NFV) technology enables the deployment of a distinct
network slice composed of various virtualized network functions (VNFs) required for offering …
