    Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology promote several benefits to network operators, including reduced maintenance costs, increased network operational performance, simplified network lifecycle, and policies management. Network vulnerabilities try to modify services provided by Network Function Virtualization MANagement and Orchestration (NFV MANO), and malicious attacks in different scenarios disrupt the NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) and Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM) lifecycle management related to network services or individual Virtualized Network Function (VNF). This paper proposes an anomaly detection mechanism that monitors threats in NFV MANO and manages promptly and adaptively to implement and handle security functions in order… More >

    An Adaptive Hybrid Optimization Strategy for Resource Allocation in Network Function Virtualization

    Chumei Wen1, Delu Zeng2,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.2, pp. 1617-1636, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029864

    Abstract With the rapid development of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), the problem of low resource utilization in traditional data centers is gradually being addressed. However, existing research does not optimize both local and global allocation of resources in data centers. Hence, we propose an adaptive hybrid optimization strategy that combines dynamic programming and neural networks to improve resource utilization and service quality in data centers. Our approach encompasses a service function chain simulation generator, a parallel architecture service system, a dynamic programming strategy for maximizing the utilization of local server resources, a neural network for predicting the global utilization rate of… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.45, No.2, pp. 2141-2154, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.030984

    Abstract Edge intelligence brings the deployment of applied deep learning (DL) models in edge computing systems to alleviate the core backbone network congestions. The setup of programmable software-defined networking (SDN) control and elastic virtual computing resources within network functions virtualization (NFV) are cooperative for enhancing the applicability of intelligent edge softwarization. To offer advancement for multi-dimensional model task offloading in edge networks with SDN/NFV-based control softwarization, this study proposes a DL mechanism to recommend the optimal edge node selection with primary features of congestion windows, link delays, and allocatable bandwidth capacities. Adaptive partial task offloading policy considered the DL-based recommendation to… More >

    Journal of Quantum Computing, Vol.4, No.1, pp. 39-52, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jqc.2022.027560

    Abstract Software defined network (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) have become a new paradigm of a new generation of network architecture. SDN and NFV can effectively improve the flexibility of deploying and managing service function chains (SFCs). By combining SDN and NFV and applying them to the resource orchestration problem of SFC deployment, the three-tier architecture consisting of SDN controller, network function virtualization and physical underlying computing resource layer in the process of heterogeneous network resource mapping is considered. And an optimization algorithm for active control resources based on SDN and NFV is proposed. Firstly, the user’s utility is modeled… More >

    Abstract Fog computing provides quality of service for cloud infrastructure. As the data computation intensifies, edge computing becomes difficult. Therefore, mobile fog computing is used for reducing traffic and the time for data computation in the network. In previous studies, software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) were used separately in edge computing. Current industrial and academic research is tackling to integrate SDN and NFV in different environments to address the challenges in performance, reliability, and scalability.
