Network function virtualization enables the “softwarization” of network functions, which are
implemented on virtual machines hosted on commercial off-the-shelf servers. Both the …

In the framework of network function virtualization, we consider in this paper the execution of
Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) in data centers whose computing capacities are …

Network function virtualization (NFV) has already been a new paradigm for network
architectures. By migrating NFs from dedicated hardware to virtualization platform, NFV can …

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 …

In Network Function Virtualization (NFV), a series of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)
organized in a specific order (called Service Function Chain, SFC) could offer an end-to-end …

Network function virtualization (NFV) is a new network architecture concept that simplifies
the deployment of network services and improves service management. However, it is …

Network function virtualization (NFV) proposes to replace physical middleboxes with more
flexible virtual network functions (VNFs). To dynamically adjust to ever-changing traffic …

The proposition of network function virtualization (NFV) aims to solve the difficulty and
ossification in current network's management and service provision caused by ever-growing …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) can cost-efficiently provide network services by
running different virtual network functions (VNFs) at different virtual machines (VMs) in a …

Network function virtualization provides a new network resource utilization approach which
decouples network functions from proprietary hardware and enables adaptive services to …
