Abstract:
Network slicing has become a fundamental property for next-generation networks, especially because an inherent part of 5G standardisation is the ability for service providers to migrate some or all of their network services to a virtual network infrastructure, thereby reducing both capital and operational costs. With network function virtualisation (NFV), network functions (NFs) such as firewalls, traffic load balancers, content filters, and intrusion detection systems (IDS) are either instantiated on virtual machines (VMs) or lightweight containers, often chained together to create a service function chain (SFC). In this work, we review the state-of-the-art NFV and SFC implementation frameworks and present a taxonomy of the current proposals. Our taxonomy comprises three major categories based on the primary objectives of each of the surveyed frameworks: (1) resource allocation and service orchestration, (2) performance tuning, and (3) resilience and fault recovery. We also identify some key open research challenges that require further exploration by the research community to achieve scalable, resilient, and high-performance NFV/SFC deployments in next-generation networks.

Abstract:
The vehicle-embedded system also known as the electronic control unit (ECU) has transformed the humble motorcar, making it more efficient, environmentally friendly, and safer, but has led to a system which is highly dependent on software. As new technologies and features are included with each new vehicle model, the increased reliance on software will no doubt continue. It is an undeniable fact that all software contains bugs, errors, and potential vulnerabilities, which when discovered must be addressed in a timely manner, primarily through patching and updates, to preserve vehicle and occupant safety and integrity. However, current automotive software updating practices are ad hoc at best and often follow the same inefficient fix mechanisms associated with a physical component failure of return or recall. Increasing vehicle connectivity heralds the potential for over the air (OtA) software updates, but rigid ECU hardware design does not often facilitate or enable OtA updating. To address the associated issues regarding automotive ECU-based software updates, a new approach in how automotive software is deployed to the ECU is required. This paper presents how lightweight virtualisation technologies known as containers can promote efficient automotive ECU software updates. ECU functional software can be deployed to a container built from an associated image. Container images promote efficiency in download size and times through layer sharing, similar to ECU difference or delta flashing. Through containers, connectivity and OtA future software updates can be completed without inconveniences to the consumer or incurring expense to the manufacturer.

Abstract:
Abstract Aiming to address the shortage of experimental resources, the high cost of large-scale deployment of hardware experimental environment and the difficulty for students to get started in the software-defined network (SDN) course, this article proposes an SDN experimental teaching scheme based on the virtualised environment, and gives a specific experimental scheme design. The scheme utilises virtualisation technology to build a SDN experimental environment quickly, uses a lightweight network simulation platform – that goes by the name of Mininet – to build the SDN network and uses open-source controller Floodlight for centralised control of the SDN network. The scheme is mainly divided into three phases: basic, improvement and synthesis. In the basic phase, experimental projects mainly include the study of SDN basic concepts and the use of relevant tools; in the improvement phase, experimental projects mainly include the use of SDN flow table, group table, etc; in the synthetic phase, we design two innovative experimental projects that use computational intelligence technology to achieve efficient load balancing and accurate malicious attack detection. The difficulty of each phase is increasing. The constantly evolving levels of difficulty allow the individual needs of students with different levels to be met, thereby improving the effect of SDN experimental teaching and cultivating innovative SDN talents.

Abstract:
Communication networks are witnessing a dramatic growth in the number of connected mobile devices, sensors and the Internet of Everything (IoE) equipment, which have been estimated to exceed 50 billion by 2020, generating zettabytes of traffic each year. In addition, networks are stressed to serve the increased capabilities of the mobile devices (e.g., HD cameras) and to fulfil the users' desire for always-on, multimedia-oriented, and low-latency connectivity. To cope with these challenges, service providers are exploiting softwarised, cost-effective, and flexible service provisioning, known as Network Function Virtualisation (NFV). At the same time, future networks are aiming to push services to the edge of the network, to close physical proximity from the users, which has the potential to reduce end-to-end latency, while increasing the flexibility and agility of allocating resources. However, the heavy footprint of today's NFV platforms and their lack of dynamic, latency-optimal orchestration prevents them from being used at the edge of the network. In this thesis, the opportunities of bringing NFV to the network edge are identified. As a concrete solution, the thesis presents Glasgow Network Functions (GNF), a container-based NFV framework that allocates and dynamically orchestrates lightweight virtual network functions (vNFs) at the edge of the network, providing low-latency network services (e.g., security functions or content caches) to users. The thesis presents a powerful formalisation for the latency-optimal placement of edge vNFs and provides an exact solution using Integer Linear Programming, along with a placement scheduler that relies on Optimal Stopping Theory to efficiently re-calculate the placement following roaming users and temporal changes in latency characteristics. The results of this work demonstrate that GNF's real-world vNF examples can be created and hosted on a variety of hosting devices, including VMs from public clouds and low-cost edge devices typically found at the customer's premises. The results also show that GNF can carefully manage the placement of vNFs to provide low-latency guarantees, while minimising the number of vNF migrations required by the operators to keep the placement latency-optimal.
