Network function virtualization (NFV) is a promising paradigm for network service provisioning which decouples the network functions from the physical infrastructure, allowing to deploy the virtualized network functions (VNF) as modular software components over commodity servers. In this architecture, service function chaining (SFC) creates an application-specific network overlay which determines the placement and ordering of network functions in a specific service delivery chain. The diverse choices for VNF placement over physical hardware, scheduling of VNF instances to run over the servers and design of optimal chaining mechanisms for traffic steering in the network have direct consequences on the quality-of-service (QoS) perceived by the network users. Previous surveys have focused on categorizing and evaluating various aspects of SFC, NFV and SDN. Due to the tight coupling of QoS provisioning with NFV problems, our work aims primarily at complementing the existing surveys in the sense that we review and classify the state-of-art research efforts in NFV design and implementation from the perspective of QoS provisioning. Our survey provides a closer look at the design space of QoS-related NFV solutions and sheds light on the open research topics in relevance with QoS-based SFC. We also present a case study to evaluate the performance of some recent VNF placement algorithms.

网络功能虚拟化中的服务供应质量:一项调查

网络功能虚拟化(NFV)是一种有前途的网络服务供应范例,它可以将网络功能与物理基础架构分离,从而可以将虚拟化的网络功能(VNF)作为模块化软件组件部署在商用服务器上。在此体系结构中,服务功能链(SFC)创建特定于应用程序的网络覆盖,该覆盖确定了特定服务交付链中网络功能的放置和排序。在物理硬件上放置VNF的多种选择,在服务器上运行的VNF实例的调度以及网络中流量控制的最佳链接机制的设计,都会直接影响网络用户所感知的服务质量(QoS)。先前的调查集中在对证监会的各个方面进行分类和评估,NFV和SDN。由于QoS设置与NFV问题紧密结合,因此我们的工作主要是对现有调查进行补充,即我们从QoS设置的角度审查和分类了NFV设计和实施方面的最新研究成果。我们的调查更加仔细地研究了与QoS相关的NFV解决方案的设计空间,并阐明了与基于QoS的SFC相关的开放研究主题。我们还提供了一个案例研究,以评估一些最新的VNF放置算法的性能。我们的调查更加仔细地研究了与QoS相关的NFV解决方案的设计空间,并阐明了与基于QoS的SFC相关的开放研究主题。我们还提供了一个案例研究,以评估一些最新的VNF放置算法的性能。我们的调查更加仔细地研究了与QoS相关的NFV解决方案的设计空间,并阐明了与基于QoS的SFC相关的开放研究主题。我们还提供了一个案例研究,以评估一些最新的VNF放置算法的性能。
