The study aims to develop methods for automating network management by analyzing its virtual counterpart. paper substantiates the relevance of this approach, identifies advantages and disadvantages, highlights existing problems, suggests ways solve them. As a result, effectiveness virtualization was shown example an experimental network.

Network functions are widely deployed in modern networks, providing various network services ranging from intrusion detection to HTTP caching. Various virtual network function instances can be consolidated into one physical middlebox. Depending on the type of services, packet processing for different flows consumes different hardware resources in the middlebox. Previous solutions of multi-resou...

Today, business organizations seem to be involved in the processes of sustainable development. Therefore, not only economic indicators of performance are considered but also the environmental responsibility is equally important. The environmental responsibility covers social responsibility and natural environment responsibility. The latter demands taking into account promotion of sustainable us...

Network security management is becoming more and more complicated in recent years, considering the need of deploying more and more network security devices/middle-boxes at various locations inside the already complicated networks. A grand challenge in this situation is that current management is inflexible and the security resource utilization is not efficient. The flexible deployment and utili...

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is considered to be a hopeful technology for supporting blockchain with many features like flexible networks and intelligent equipment. NFV decreases the expenses incurred on maintenance operation of assets that are generated through expenses, in addition capital expenditures based isolate physical devices from main tasks executed by Blockchain currency tra...

Virtualization is a technique used to model and simulate the cyber domain, as well as train and educate. Different types of virtualization techniques exist that each support a unique set of benefits and requirements. This research proposes a novel design that incorporates host and network virtualization concepts for a cyber warfare training platform. At the host level, hybrid virtualization com...

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) have been identified as one of the relevant use cases where the emerging paradigm of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) will likely be beneficial. In fact, virtualization fosters flexibility, since on-demand resource allocation of virtual CDN nodes can accommodate sudden traffic demand changes. However, there are cases where physical appliances should still ...

The need for advanced network control functions such as traffic Engineering, service insertion and service chaining, multi-tenancy, and tenant isolation are increasingly growing as Network Virtualization becomes the dominant trend in the Data Center and Cloud. The rise of such new requirements has exacerbated the inadequacy and lack of flexibility of today’s network management and control mecha...
