Towards "Full Containerization" in Containerized Network Function Virtualization

Towards Large-Scale Network Virtualization

Most existing virtual network (VN) provisioning approaches assume a single administrative domain and therefore, VN deployments are limited to the geographic footprint of the substrate provider. To enable wide-area VN provisioning, network virtualization architectures need to address the intricacies of inter-domain aspects, i.e., how to provision VNs with limited control and knowledge of any asp...

Towards a secured network virtualization

Network virtualization promises to fulfill the demand for an agile Internet that is friendly to technological innovation. In the past, tremendous effort s have been dedicated to studying the fundamental problem in network virtualization, namely Virtual Network Embedding (VNE). However, until recently, very limited work has addressed the security issues and implications of VNE or network virtual...

Network Function Virtualization: A Primer

Network function virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) are widely acknowledged as potential disruptive technologies of next generation computer networks. The network operators are pushing the frontiers of NFV to reduce operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX). Network vendors and academic researchers look upon NFV as an opportunity to speed up innovati...
