Resumé:
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is opening a
new way to run network functions, moving from COTS equipment to Virtual Network
Functions (VNFs), to be deployed over Data Centres (DC). VNFs are including
traditional network functions such as routing and forwarding, in addition to
functions running on middle boxes, such as IDS, Firewall, TCP proxy, Video
optimizer, etc. Hence, the end-to-end application traffic is often required to
travers various VNFs in a pre-defined path satisfying service provider policy.
In this context, a Service Function Chaining (SFC) indicates an ordered list of
VNF instances to be used for a specific traffic. Usually, for each SFC request,
the NFV orchestrator has to manage, provision and coordinate the allocation of
SFs to VMs and the associated network resources.
In the proposed PhD thesis we will go beyond state of
the art by providing a flexible and SFC- oriented orchestration solutions to
define, deploy and manage SFC over multiple domains.
