Abstract:
Network services become increasingly multifarious. To efficiently
guarantee the quality of services and fully utilize the network
resources, network operators need to process the traffic flows
through more fine-grained way. It is a promising way to deploy a
series of middleboxes integrating various functions. However, this
results in two challenges: 1) how to control such increasingly
different middleboxes; 2) how can networks provide a common joint
control scheme for both the middleboxes and forwarding elements. This
document proposes a common joint scheme for middleboxes and
forwarding elements. This scheme adopts logically centralized control
method and utilizes standard control interfaces, which makes it
flexible and efficient for the networks to determine the most
optimizing path and the most appropriate functions in the middleboxes
for traffic flows. It guarantees the quality of services and
significantly improves resource utilization.
