Network service chaining challenges for VNF outsourcing in network function virtualization

Hongseok Jeon, Bhumcheol Lee

Open publisher page 16 citations

Abstract

Fundamentally, network function virtualization (NFV) allows virtual network functions (VNFs) to be outsourced by a third party because it separates network functions from their locations. However, the VNF outsourcing raises significant challenges for network service chains, which is a necessary technology to realize NFV. This paper discusses challenges of the network service chain under consideration for VNF outsourcing.
