Abstract:
In the context of virtualization, a service essentially consists of a
set of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) with each VNF building on
top of virtualization infrastructure to implement a specific network
functions along with the data connections between VNFs. VNFs may be
highly distributed existing in devices in data center networks,
mobile networks or satellite networks. In some of these
environments, the resources are highly constrained.
This draft provides seven use cases the authors have implemented in
demonstration or deployed code for the following network function
virtualization: cloud bursting, parental controls, load balancer for
multipath (L1-L7), WAN optimization that runs either between access
nodes and Data Centers, WAN optimization between mobile phones to
Data Centers (through access nodes), application placement
optimization, and optimized placement of web applications utilizing
minimal data transfer.
