Sadržaj predavanja:
Next generation 5G networks will rely on virtualized Data Centers (vDC) to host virtualized network functions on commodity servers. Such Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) will lead to significant savings in terms of infrastructure cost and reduced management complexity. However, green strategies for networking and computing inside data centers, such as server consolidation or energy-aware routing, should not negatively impact the quality and service level agreements expected from network operators. In this talk, we study how robust strategies that place virtual network functions (VNF) inside vDC impact the energy savings and the protection level against resource demand variations. We propose novel optimization models that allow to minimize the energy of the compute and network infrastructure which is hosting a set of service chains that implement the VNFs. The model explicitly provides for robustness to unknown or imprecisely formulated resource demand variations, powers down unused routers, switch ports and compute servers, and calculates the energy optimal VNF placement and network embedding also considering latency constraints on the service chains. Our experiments were carried out using the virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC).
