Abstract

Abstract

Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) promote network innovation. NFV realizes logic centralized deployment of Virtualized Network Function (VNF). This paper proposes a kind of node-splitting VNF deployment model for problem of pooling deployment of VNF in virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) network. Based on the acknowledgement of virtual request traffic-aware, the model uses node-splitting algorithm to realize the dynamic adjustment of the mapping relation between VNF and physical network slices and organize the same VNFs across different domains as one pool. Compared with the traditional joint mapping algorithm of multi-function chain, the method can realize fine-grained management and overall scheduling of node resources, optimize network view, and reduce resource fragments. It is proven by network topology instance provided by SNDlib that the model can reduce resource overhead of virtual network and improve the ratio of acceptance of virtual network requests.
