Abstract [en]

This document presents the core transport system in NEAT, as used for development of the reference implementation of the NEAT System. The document describes the components necessary to realise the basic Transport Services provided by the NEAT User API, with the description of a set of NEAT building blocks and their related design choices. The design of this core transport system, which is the final product ofWork Package 2, is driven by the Transport Services and API design from Task 1.4, and in close coordination with the overall NEAT architecture defined in Task 1.2. To realise the Transport Services provided by the API, a set of transport functions has to be provided by the NEAT Core Transport System. These functions take the form of several building blocks, or NEAT Components, each representing an associated implementation activity. Some components are needed to ensure the basic operation of the NEAT System—e.g., a NEAT Flow Endpoint, a callback-based NEAT API Framework, the NEAT Logic and the functionality to Connect to a name. Additional components are needed for: (a) ensuring connectivity, by means of mechanisms for discovery of path support for different protocols; (b) supporting end-to-end security; (c) the ability to apply different policies to influence the decision-making process of the transport system; (d) providing other important functionalities (e.g., a user-space SCTP stack, or gathering statistics for users or system administrators). This document updates Deliverable D2.2; in particular, the descriptions of NEAT components presented here correspond to their implementation status by the end of WP2, and as such they supersede those in D2.2.

Abstract [en]

The combination of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) promises to provide highly flexible and configurable network infrastructures. This relies, however, on an efficient assignment of the respective Service Function Chain (SFC). This is related to Virtual Network Embedding (VNE), where algorithms are devised to provide such an assignment. To evaluate and compare the efficiency of such algorithms, well-designed embedding problems have to be generated. This paper presents a new mechanism for generating embedding problems: Problems are generated from a given set of SFCs such that each generated problem is known in advance to have an optimal solution. Experimenters can use this approach to investigate specific properties of embedding algorithms. The approach, thereby, facilitates more detailed evaluation.

Abstract [en]

The efficiency of network virtualization depends on the appropriate assignment of resources. The underlying problem, called Virtual Network Embedding, has been much discussed in the literature, and many algorithms have been proposed, attempting to optimize the resource assignment in various respects. Evaluation of those algorithms requires a large number of randomly generated embedding scenarios. This paper presents a novel scenario generation approach and demonstrates how to produce scenarios with a guaranteed exact solution, thereby facilitating better evaluation of embedding algorithms.

Abstract [en]

Network virtualization is seen as an enabling technology for the Future Internet. In this context, many Virtual Network Embedding algorithms have been introduced in literature so far. This paper discusses an open source framework for the evaluation of such algorithms. The paper describes features provided by the framework, how to use the framework for evaluating these algorithms, and how to extend the software with respect to novel algorithms and simulation scenarios. Lessons learned are presented, describing how the software evolved towards a mature and highly extensible simulation framework.

Abstract [en]

Network virtualization is recognized as an enabling technology for the future Internet. It aims to overcome the resistance of the current Internet to architectural change. Application of this technology relies on algorithms that can instantiate virtualized networks on a substrate infrastructure, optimizing the layout for service-relevant metrics. This class of algorithms is commonly known as “Virtual Network Embedding (VNE)” algorithms. This paper presents a survey of current research in the VNE area. Based upon a novel classification scheme for VNE algorithms a taxonomy of current approaches to the VNE problem is provided and opportunities for further research are discussed.

Abstract [en]

Network virtualization is recognized as an enabling technology for the Future Internet. Applying virtualization of network resources leads to the problem of mapping virtual resources to physical resources, known as “Virtual Network Embedding” (VNE). Several algorithms attempting to solve this problem have been discussed in the literature, so far. However, comparison of VNE algorithms is hard, as each algorithm focuses on different criteria. To that end, we introduce a framework to compare different algorithms according to a set of metrics, which allow to evaluate the algorithms and compute their results on a given scenario for arbitrary parameters.

Abstract [en]

The Autonomic Internet project [1] approach relies on abstractions and distributed systems of a five plane solution for the provision of Future Internet Services (OSKMV): Orchestration, Service Enablers, Knowledge, Management and Virtualisation Planes. This paper presents a practical viewpoint of the manageability of virtual networks, exercising the components and systems that integrate this approach and that are being validated. This paper positions the distributed systems and networking services that integrate this solution, focusing on the provision of Future Internet services for self-configuration and selfperformance management scenes.
