This chapter discusses the evolution of the cloud computing paradigm and its applicability in various sections of the computing and networking/telecommunications industry, such as the cloud networking, the cloud offloading, and the network function virtualization. The new heterogeneous virtualized ecosystem that is formulated creates new needs and challenges for management and administration at the network part. For this purpose, the approach of Software-Defined Networking is discussed and its future perspectives are further analyzed.

Experimental Findings

This article describes how novel functionalities will take advantage of the cloud networking and will gradually replace the existing infrastructure of mobile networks with a virtualized one. Two technologies, namely software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV), offer their important benefits and a combination of them is an answer to the demands raised, such as central office re-architected as a data center (CORD). Open network operating system (ONOS) and POX are SDN controllers and offer an option to combine SDN and NFV addressing many ongoing problems in the field of mobile networks. In this paper, technologies and both controllers are compared and contrasted. Indicative cases of topologies are simulated and help evaluating both controllers. According to the experimental findings, ONOS is one of the most important controllers for practical, theoretical, research and educational purposes, while POX is a useful and simpler controller for other educative applications.

Shared Network

The traditional network is configured based on the prescribed network requirements. Sometimes the resources of the network are underutilized and at sometimes there may resource starvation because of the static configuration of the network. As against traditional network, which is operated either as dedicated network or as an overlay network, network services can be operated over a shared network infrastructure. Thus maximum resource utilization under minimal infrastructure cost can be achieved. The on-demand network requirement can be configured dynamically using network slice. The backbone of the rapidly evolving 5G technology is network slice and service networks can be benefited from it. Different network function for multiple tenants can be enabled customized using network slice with each slice operating independently. Network slice can be offered as a service to meet various requirements from the network slice tenant with different granularities. The Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization are the enabling technologies for network slice. This paper discusses various network slicing use case requirements. And also OpenFlow based software defined network environment is simulated to validate the discussions. Experimental results show that the efficiency of the service network is maximized with improved reliability of service

As tecnologias de fatiamento da rede (Network Slicing), virtualização de funções de rede (Network Function Virtualization - NFV) e redes definidas por software (Software-Defined Networking - SDN) proveem serviços fim-a-fim ágeis e sob demanda. A identificação de uma função virtual defeituosa torna-se obrigatória, pois serviços alocam recursos em um ambiente distribuído e sem confiança entre os pares composto por múltiplos inquilinos e provedores de serviço concorrentes. Este artigo propõe e desenvolve uma arquitetura baseada em correntes de blocos para prover auditabilidade às operações de orquestração de fatias de rede. Um protótipo de um caso de uso foi desenvolvido e implementado utilizando a plataforma Hyperledger Fabric na qual cada fatia de rede opera sobre um canal isolado. Os resultados mostram que é possível prover segurança à criação de fatias de rede, mas que a obtenção de consenso e o número de transações requeridas pelas fatias de rede são um grande desafio.

Network Functions

Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging network architecture that facilitates the network administrator to control and manage network behavior dynamically. Different from traditional networks, software-defined networks support dynamic and scalable computing. The dynamic behavior is achieved by decoupling or disassociating the system. The swing of control from tightly bound individual networks to assessable computing devices enables infrastructure abstraction. Due to the abstraction, the network can be considered as a logical or virtual entity. In this chapter, relation between network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) has been outlined. This chapter focuses on describing the pros and cons of NFV technologies. network functions virtualization (NFV) was founded under the work of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
