Network slicing has become a fundamental property for next-generation networks,
especially because an inherent part of 5G standardisation is the ability for service providers …

Software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) are the key
enabling technologies for service customization in next generation networks to support …

Due to the intrinsically inefficient service provisioning in traditional networks, Network
Function Virtualization (NFV) keeps gaining attention from both industry and academia. By …

Network function virtualization (NFV) is a promising solution to realize a variety of network
services. By definition, virtual network functions (VNFs) are chained together to realize …

The evolution of Internet services, such as drone piloting or metaverse, tends toward ultra-
Low Latency (LL) requirements, thus inducing new challenges in the placement of Service …

In modern networks, administrators realize their desired functions such as network
measurement in several data plane programs. They often employ the network-wide program …

Network administrators usually realize network functions in data plane programs. They
employ the network-wide program deployment that decomposes input programs into match …

In this paper, we consider the challenges that arise from the need to scale virtualized
network functions (VNFs) at 100 Gbps line speed and beyond. Traditional VNF designs are …

The evolution of the Internet tends toward ever requiring lower latency services. Cloud
robotics or drone piloting are service use-cases in which the latency of traffic cannot exceed …

Edge clouds embrace Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to bring network functions
(NFs) closer to end devices. The mobility nature of edge clouds and the emergence of new …
