Повний текст джерелаDenna masteruppsats förklarar varför vissa nätverkstjänster är svåra att skapa och konfigurera med IT-automationsverktyg och mjukvara för molnorkestrering. En förbättring föreslås och motiveras. Den föreslagna förbättringen tillåter nätverksoperatörer att definiera en mängd datamodeller, för att beskriva hur Virtuella Nätverksfunktioner (VNF:er) skall instantieras och kopplas ihop till nätverkstjänster. Dessutom tillåter lösningen nätverksoperatörer att ändra konfiguration under tiden nätverken hanterar trafik. Arbetet kan ses som ett steg mot självhanterande och automatiskt skalande nätverk. Den föreslagna lösningen jämförs med ett välkänt molnorkestreringsverktyg (OpenStack) för att utvärdera om den föreslagna lösningen sänker mängden tid som nätverksoperatörer behöver för att designa nätverkstopologier och tjänster som innehåller VNF:er. Data samlas in genom observationer av nätverksoperatörer, intervjuer, och experiment. Analys av datan visar att den föreslagna lösningen kan minska tiden som behövs för att designa nätverkstopologier och tjänster. Fallen där detta är applicerbart, är när VNF:er närvarar i nätverk. Dessa är enklare att skapa, konfigurera, och ändra under tiden de exekverar, med den föreslagna metoden. Detta kräver också att nätverksoperatören är bekant med datamodelleringsspråket YANG. Tiden det tar att provisionera VNF:er, tills dess att de svarar till anslutningar, kan sänkas med hjälp av den föreslagna metoden. Den förslagna metoden erbjuder väsentligt begränsad funktionalitet jämfört med OpenStack, den fokuserar på att hantera VNF:er.

O paradigma Virtualização de Funções de Rede (NFV) atraiu rapidamente o interesse dos provedores de serviços de comunicações como um meio de acelerar a entrega dos serviços e, ao mesmo tempo, reduzir os custos associados. Inúmeros fatores trouxeram boas razões para esta causa, tais como: baixo custo de operação e energia, menor tempo de implementação de novas tecnologias para o mercado, gerenciamento escalável e dinâmico de serviços de rede e disponibilidade de compartilhamento de recursos de rede por meio de serviços e diferentes plataformas. Complementar à promessa das Redes Definidas por Software (SDN) de automatizar a orquestração e configuração da rede, NFV propõe automatizar a implantação e controle de funções de rede, as quais serão executadas em plataformas com servidores virtualizados. No mundo da SDN e da NVF, pode-se ter milhares de instâncias de um elemento, juntas, formando os componentes da rede. Se um deles falhar, perde-se um pouco da capacidade mas não se perde o elemento inteiro e pode-se recriar esse componente. A nova arquitetura pressupõe a criação de uma cadeia de serviço, ou seja, um conjunto de máquinas virtuais alinhadas para criar um serviço. Tanto pode ser de firewall como de detecção de intrusões, ou de outros elementos da rede. Neste contexto, desafios se tornam inerentes a esta proposta, os quais abordam tópicos como interoperabilidade de plataformas de rede, perda ou ganho de desempenho, segurança e resiliência. Assim, esse trabalho propõe avaliar o desempenho de composição de serviços utilizando um ambiente de NFV. Para isso, foram construídos vários cenários e usadas diferentes topologias a fim de validar um simulador que possa ser usado posteriormente por outros usuários como uma ferramenta útil para a composição de serviços em ambiente de NFV.
The Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) paradigm quickly attracted the interest of communications service providers as a means to accelerate the delivery of services and at the same time reducing the associated costs. Several factors have brought good reasons for this cause, such as operating and energy costs, implementation time of new technologies to market, scalable and dynamic management of network services and network resource sharing availability through different services and platforms. Complementary to the promise of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) to automate the orchestration and network configuration, NFV proposes automate the deployment and control of network functions, which will be run on platforms with virtualized servers. In the world of SDN and NVF, can have thousands of instances of an element, together forming network components. If one fails, you lose some of the ability but do not lose the whole element and can recreate this component. The new architecture involves creating a service string, i.e., a set of virtual machines aligned to create a service. Both can be firewall or intrusion detection, or other network elements. In this context, challenges become inherent in this proposal, which address topics such as interoperability of network platforms, trade-offs of performance, security and resilience. Thus, this work proposes to evaluate the performance of service composition using a NFV. For this, they were built several scenarios and used different topologies to validate a simulator that can later be used by other users as a useful tool for service composition in NFV.

Повний текст джерелаThe emergence of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology has aroused keen interest to design, manage and deploy network services in a flexible, automated and vendor-agnostic manner. Implementing NFV technology is expected to be a win-win solution for both service providers and costumers. However, this paradigm shift, sparked by NFV, calls for a progressive abandon of network services that are provided as hardware appliance and rather it proposes a fully or partially virtualized environment that offers software modules called Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). This shift rises a set of challenges related to service deployment and operation such as orchestration and management, service resiliency, Quality of Service (QoS) and resource provisioning among others. Furthermore, the core question that needs to be solved within NFV context is “What is the best way to place and chain VNFs that form a service in order to meet Service Level Agreement requirements (costumer side) while optimizing resource usage (service provider side)?”.This thesis investigates the problem of VNF Placement and Chaining considering service requirements such as end-to-end delay, service availability and energy consumption and proposes a set of algorithms and mechanisms that aim to achieve an optimized deployment of the requested/provided services. Our contributions in this thesis are threefold. First, we propose a delay-aware Placement and Chaining algorithms for delay-sensitive applications over NFV networks. The proposed algorithms aim to meet the appropriate end-to-end delay defined according to the deployed service (VoIP, Streaming, etc.). Second, we provide a comprehensive service availability benchmarking and we propose two availability-aware mechanisms for VNFs chain. The aim is to provide resilient service provisioning by fine-tuning the parameters of the protection scheme (the number, the type, the placement and the size of the spare instances) needed to reach a predefined availability level, despite network failures. Finally, we propose a framework architecture that explores the possibility to extend the virtualization paradigm to Internet of Things (IoT). Toward this end, we define an energy-aware Placement and Chaining for IoT services where inherent IoT functionalities are decoupled from specific dedicated IoT devices and instantiated on-demand. By bringing together NFV and IoT paradigms, this extension opens new perspectives and push toward designing new use cases

Повний текст джерелаDue to the exponential growth of service demands, telecommunication networks are populated with a large and increasing variety of proprietary hardware appliances, and this leads to an increase in the cost and the complexity of the network management. To overcome this issue, the NFV paradigm is proposed, which allows dynamically allocating the Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and therefore obtaining flexible network services provision, thus reducing the capital and operating costs. In this thesis, we focus on the VNF Placement and Routing (VNF-PR) problem, which aims to find the location of the VNFs to allocate optimally resources to serve the demands. From an optimization point of view, the problem can be modeled as the combination of a facility location problem (for the VNF location and server dimensioning) and a network design problem (for the demands routing). Both problems are widely studied in the literature, but their combination represents, to the best of our knowledge, a new challenge. We start working on a realistic VNF-PR problem to understand the impact of different policies on the overall network management cost and performance. To this end, we extend the work in [1] by considering more realistic features and constraints of NFV infrastructures and we propose a linear programming model and a math-heuristic to solve it. In order to better understand the problem structure and its properties, in the second part of our work, we focus on the theoretical study of the problem by extracting a simplified, yet significant variant. We provide results on the computational complexity under different graph topology and capacity cases. Then, we propose two mathematical programming formulations and we test them on a common testbed with more than 100 different test instances under different capacity settings. Finally, we address the scalability issue by proposing ILP-based constructive methods and heuristics to efficiently deal with large size instances (with up to 60 nodes and 1800 demands). We show that our proposed heuristics can efficiently solve medium size instances (with up to 30 nodes and 1000 demands) of challenging capacity cases and provide feasible solutions for large size instances of the most difficult capacity cases, for which the models cannot find any solution even with a significant computational time

Повний текст джерелаNetwork Function Virtualization (NFV) is an innovative emerging concept that decouples network functions (such as firewalls, DNS, NATs, load balancers, etc.) from dedicated hardware devices (the traditional expensive middleboxes). This decoupling enables hosting of network services, known as Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs), on commodity hardware (such as switches or servers) and thus facilitates and accelerates service deployment and management by providers, improves flexibility, leads to efficient and scalable resource usage, and reduces costs. This paradigm is a major turning point in the evolution of networking, as it introduces high expectations for enhanced economical network services, as well as major technical challenges.One of the main technical challenges in this domain is the optimal placement of the VNFs within the hosting infrastructures. This placement has a critical impact on the performance of the network, as well as on its reliability and operation cost. The VNF Placement and Chaining Problem is NP-Hard and there is a need for placement approaches that can scale with problem size and find good solutions in acceptable times. The overarching goal of this thesis is to enable dynamic virtual network resources provisioning to deal with demand fluctuation during the virtual network lifetime, and to enhance the substrate resource usage. Reserving a fixed amount of resources is inefficient to satisfy the VNF resource requirements. To cope with these problems, we propose dynamic resource management strategies.In this thesis, both exact and heuristic algorithms are designed and evaluated in terms of optimality, complexity, ability to scale, and compared with the state of the art. Elastic mechanisms and scaling algorithms are first presented to improve adaptation and deployment of virtualized network functions in NFV infrastructures to support increasing demand while increasing provider's revenue. Since network providers not only need to control, classify and steer user and application traffic flows in their dedicated slices but also want to extend their already acquired and operational virtual networks or slices with additional service graphs, the thesis proposes extension algorithms of already hosted network functions graphs without disrupting initially deployed and active service instances. The proposed algorithms extend already deployed network services and functions graphs to respond to new demands while taking into account the constraint of minimizing the impact on the original service graphs. The extension algorithms are particularly useful and suitable for situations where already deployed graphs need to be enhanced with new features and properties (adding new functions) and modified to react to degradation and attacks such as removing a fraction of the graph and replacing with new complex and composed functions into more capable and uncompromised graphs.The thesis also addresses the VNF placement and chaining problem in an online and in a batch mode to improve performance in terms of longer time reward. An enhanced Reinforcement Learning-based approach is also proposed to improve the long term reward beyond what the previous methods can achieve. This is analyzed and realized for a load balancing objective but can be adjusted for other criteria

Повний текст джерелаLa virtualización de funciones de redes (NFV) es una tecnología prometedora que propone mover el procesamiento de paquetes de cajas intermedias de hardware dedicadas al procesamiento especializado de paquetes a módulos de software que se ejecuta en servidores no especializados. Como tal, NFV crea la posibilidad de externalizar de las redes empresariales el procesamiento hecho por funciones de redes (NFs) a la nube. Sin embargo, para que un Proveedor de Servicios en la Nube (CSP) ofrezca tales servicios, todavía hay que resolver varios problemas. Cuando una empresa subcontrata sus NF a un CSP, el CSP es responsable de decidir: (1) dónde deben instanciarse las NF virtuales iniciales (VNF), y (2) qué tipo, cuándo y dónde deben instanciarse VNF adicionales para satisfacer los cambios de tráfico (Escalamiento), (3) cómo actualizar las configuraciones de la red con el mínimo impacto en los rendimientos de la misma, etc. Esto requiere de un marco de gestión de la nube para VNFs y las operaciones relacionadas con la infraestructura de nube: provisiona miento, mantenimiento y escalado de les VNS. Así como la configuración y actualización de la red en la nube. En esta tesis exploramos tres aspectos de un marco de gestión de la nube para VNF: (1) asignación dinámica de recursos, (2) métodos de escalado para VNFs y (3) balanceo de carga dinámico. En el contexto de la asignación dinámica de recursos para VNFs, exploramos dos algoritmos de asignación de recursos para: (1) la ubicación inicial de VNFs, y (2) la escala de VNFs para apoyar los cambios de tráfico. Proponemos dos métodos de aproximación (basadas en heurísticas): (1) Búsqueda Local Iterada (ILS) y (2) Programación Genética (GP) para implementar los algoritmos de asignación de recursos. Comparamos estos enfoques heurísticos con en un enfoque tradicional de asignación de recursos: Programación Lineal Entera (ILP). En el contexto de los métodos de escalde VNFs, hemos explorado tres enfoques de escala diferentes: (1) escalamiento vertical, (2) la migración y (3) horizontal. Analizamos los tres métodos de escalado en términos de sus aspectos de implementación práctica, así como los aspectos de optimización con respecto a la gestión. En el contexto del balanceo de carga dinámico, exploramos enfoques de equilibrio de carga que mantienen la afinidad y manejan estados y sesiones del tráfico, de manera que se evita el la necesidad de migración del estado. Proponemos un algoritmo de equilibrio de carga que considera sesiones basado en funciones de hash consistente.

Повний текст джерелаNetwork Functions Virtualization (NFV) is driving a paradigm shift in telecommunications networks and computer networks, by fostering new business models and creating innovation opportunities. In NFV-enabled networks, service providers have the opportunity to build a business model where tenants can purchase Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) that provide distinct network services and functions (e.g., Firewall, NAT, and transcoders). However, the amount of managed data grows in a fast pace. The network operator must understand and manipulate many data to effectively manage the network. To tackle this problem, we introduce VISION, a platform based on visualizations techniques to help network operators to determine the cause of not obvious problems. For this, we provide: (i) an approach to collect and organize data from the NFV environments; (ii) five distinct visualizations that can aid in NFV management tasks, such as in the process of identifying VNFs problems and planning of NFV-enabled businesses; and (iii) a template model that supports new visualization applications. To evaluate our work, we implemented a prototype of VISION platform and each of the proposed visualizations. We then conducted distinct case studies to provide evidence of the feasibility of our visualizations. These case studies cover different scenarios, such as the identification of misplacement of VNFs that are generating bottlenecks in a forwarding graph and the investigation of investment priorities to supply tenants demands. Finally, we present a usability evaluation with network operators to indicate the benefits of the VISION platform. The results obtained show that our visualizations allow the operator to access relevant information and have insights to identify not obvious problems in the context of NFV-enabled networks. In addition, we received positive feedback about general usability aspects related to our prototype.

Повний текст джерелаNetwork Function Virtualization (NFV) is a novel concept that is reshaping the middlebox arena, shifting network functions (e.g. firewall, gateways, proxies) from specialized hardware appliances to software images running on commodity hardware. This concept has potential to make network function provision and operation more flexible and cost-effective, paramount in a world where deployed middleboxes may easily reach the order of hundreds. Despite recent research activity in the field, little has been done towards scalable and cost-efficient placement & chaining of virtual network functions (VNFs) – a key feature for the effective success of NFV. More specifically, existing strategies have neglected the chaining aspect of NFV (focusing on efficient placement only), failed to scale to hundreds of network functions and relied on unrealistic operational costs. In this thesis, we approach VNF placement and chaining as an optimization problem in the context of Inter- and Intra-datacenter. First, we formalize the Virtual Network Function Placement and Chaining (VNFPC) problem and propose an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model to solve it. The goal is to minimize required resource allocation, while meeting network flow requirements and constraints. Then, we address scalability of VNFPC problem to solve large instances (i.e., thousands of NFV nodes) by proposing a fixand- optimize-based heuristic algorithm for tackling it. Our algorithm incorporates a Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) meta-heuristic, for efficiently exploring the placement and chaining solution space. Further, we assess the performance limitations of typical NFV-based deployments and the incurred operational costs of commodity servers and propose an analytical model that accurately predict the operational costs for arbitrary service chain requirements. Then, we develop a general service chain intra-datacenter deployment mechanism (named OCM – Operational Cost Minimization) that considers both the actual performance of the service chains (e.g., CPU requirements) as well as the operational incurred cost. Our novel algorithm is based on an extension of the well-known reduction from weighted matching to min-cost flow problem. Finally, we tackle the problem of monitoring service chains in NFV-based environments. For that, we introduce the DNM (Distributed Network Monitoring) problem and propose an optimization model to solve it. DNM allows service chain segments to be independently monitored, which allows specialized network monitoring requirements to be met in a efficient and coordinated way. Results show that the proposed ILP model for the VNFPC problem leads to a reduction of up to 25% in end-to-end delays (in comparison to chainings observed in traditional infrastructures) and an acceptable resource over-provisioning limited to 4%. Also, we provide strong evidences that our fix-and-optimize based heuristic is able to find feasible, high-quality solutions efficiently, even in scenarios scaling to thousands of VNFs. Further, we provide indepth insights on network performance metrics (such as throughput, CPU utilization and packet processing) and its current limitations while considering typical deployment strategies. Our OCM algorithm reduces significantly operational costs when compared to the de-facto standard placement mechanisms used in Cloud systems. Last, our DNM model allows finer grained network monitoring with limited overheads. By coordinating the placement of monitoring sinks and the forwarding of network monitoring traffic, DNM can reduce the number of monitoring sinks and the network resource consumption (54% lower than a traditional method).

Повний текст джерелаThe proliferation of Internet access allows that users have the possibility to use services available directly through the Internet, which translates in a change of the paradigm of using applications and in the way of communicating, popularizing in this way the so-called cloud computing paradigm. Cloud computing brings with it requirements at two different levels: at the cloud level, usually relying in centralized data centers, where information technology and network resources must be able to guarantee the demand of such services; and at the access level, i.e., depending on the service being consumed, different quality of service is required in the access network, which is a Network Operator (NO) domain. In summary, there is an obvious network dependency. However, the network has been playing a relatively minor role, mostly as a provider of (best-effort) connectivity within the cloud and in the access network. The work developed in this Thesis enables for the effective integration of cloud and NO domains, allowing the required network support for cloud. We propose a framework and a set of associated mechanisms for the integrated management and control of cloud computing and NO domains to provide endto- end services. Moreover, we elaborate a thorough study on the embedding of virtual resources in this integrated environment. The study focuses on maximizing the host of virtual resources on the physical infrastructure through optimal embedding strategies (considering the initial allocation of resources as well as adaptations through time), while at the same time minimizing the costs associated to energy consumption, in single and multiple domains. Furthermore, we explore how the NO can take advantage of the integrated environment to host traditional network functions. In this sense, we study how virtual network Service Functions (SFs) should be modelled and managed in a cloud environment and enhance the framework accordingly. A thorough evaluation of the proposed solutions was performed in the scope of this Thesis, assessing their benefits. We implemented proof of concepts to prove the added value, feasibility and easy deployment characteristics of the proposed framework. Furthermore, the embedding strategies evaluation has been performed through simulation and Integer Linear Programming (ILP) solving tools, and it showed that it is possible to reduce the physical infrastructure energy consumption without jeopardizing the virtual resources acceptance. This fact can be further increased by allowing virtual resource adaptation through time. However, one should have in mind the costs associated to adaptation processes. The costs can be minimized, but the virtual resource acceptance can be also reduced. This tradeoff has also been subject of the work in this Thesis.
A proliferação do acesso à Internet permite aos utilizadores usar serviços disponibilizados diretamente através da Internet, o que se traduz numa mudança de paradigma na forma de usar aplicações e na forma de comunicar, popularizando desta forma o conceito denominado de cloud computing. Cloud computing traz consigo requisitos a dois níveis: ao nível da própria cloud, geralmente dependente de centros de dados centralizados, onde as tecnologias de informação e recursos de rede têm que ser capazes de garantir as exigências destes serviços; e ao nível do acesso, ou seja, dependendo do serviço que esteja a ser consumido, são necessários diferentes níveis de qualidade de serviço na rede de acesso, um domínio do operador de rede. Em síntese, existe uma clara dependência da cloud na rede. No entanto, o papel que a rede tem vindo a desempenhar neste âmbito é reduzido, sendo principalmente um fornecedor de conectividade (best-effort) tanto no dominio da cloud como no da rede de acesso. O trabalho desenvolvido nesta Tese permite uma integração efetiva dos domínios de cloud e operador de rede, dando assim à cloud o efetivo suporte da rede. Para tal, apresentamos uma plataforma e um conjunto de mecanismos associados para gestão e controlo integrado de domínios cloud computing e operador de rede por forma a fornecer serviços fim-a-fim. Além disso, elaboramos um estudo aprofundado sobre o mapeamento de recursos virtuais neste ambiente integrado. O estudo centra-se na maximização da incorporação de recursos virtuais na infraestrutura física por meio de estratégias de mapeamento ótimas (considerando a alocação inicial de recursos, bem como adaptações ao longo do tempo), enquanto que se minimizam os custos associados ao consumo de energia. Este estudo é feito para cenários de apenas um domínio e para cenários com múltiplos domínios. Além disso, exploramos como o operador de rede pode aproveitar o referido ambiente integrado para suportar funções de rede tradicionais. Neste sentido, estudamos como as funções de rede virtualizadas devem ser modeladas e geridas num ambiente cloud e estendemos a plataforma de acordo com este conceito. No âmbito desta Tese foi feita uma avaliação extensa das soluções propostas, avaliando os seus benefícios. Implementámos provas de conceito por forma a demonstrar as mais-valias, viabilidade e fácil implantação das soluções propostas. Além disso, a avaliação das estratégias de mapeamento foi realizada através de ferramentas de simulação e de programação linear inteira, mostrando que é possível reduzir o consumo de energia da infraestrutura física, sem comprometer a aceitação de recursos virtuais. Este aspeto pode ser melhorado através da adaptação de recursos virtuais ao longo do tempo. No entanto, deve-se ter em mente os custos associados aos processos de adaptação. Os custos podem ser minimizados, mas isso implica uma redução na aceitação de recursos virtuais. Esta compensação foi também um tema abordado nesta Tese.

Повний текст джерелаRelevance: Improving the quality of communication networks by improving reliability is a complex scientific, technical and economic problem. This is due to the fact that networks with new technologies, such as software-configured networks (SDN) currently have high requirements for reliability (fault tolerance), including the characteristics of network recovery after failure. When developing measures to increase reliability, it is advisable to set the task of maximizing the quality of network operation with a minimum connection recovery time. The high level of fault tolerance of the network is provided due to fast detection of damages and elimination of their consequences in a short time. Existing methods of ensuring reliability in SDN networks can be divided into two separate classes: protective switching (redundancy) and recovery (rerouting). It follows that for a systematic approach to the study of methods to ensure the reliability of SDN, it is advisable to use mathematical modeling. The study of the mechanisms of ensuring the reliability of SDN is considered in a number of works, both domestic and foreign. However, these works do not provide a comparative analysis of the use of mechanisms to ensure fault tolerance, as well as a combination of these mechanisms. Similarly, a number of works do not take into account the economic indicators of the use of these mechanisms. Purpose: to develop a method of managing the security of information flows of the IoT network using the concept of SDN and controller redundancy, which will provide a reliable network, without taking into account the increase in time to detect failure of rapid recovery methods.

Повний текст джерелаThe design of flexible and efficient mechanisms for proper placement and chaining of virtual network functions (VNFs) is key for the success of Network Function Virtualization (NFV). Most state-of-the-art solutions, however, consider fixed (and immutable) flow processing and bandwidth requirements when placing VNFs in the Network Points of Presence (N-PoPs). This limitation becomes critical in NFV-enabled networks having highly dynamic flow behavior, and in which flow processing requirements and available N-PoP resources change constantly. To bridge this gap, we present NFV-PEAR, a platform for adaptive VNF placement and chaining. In NFV-PEAR, network operators may periodically (re)arrange previously determined placement and chaining of VNFs, with the goal of maintaining acceptable end-to-end flow performance despite fluctuations of flow processing costs and requirements. In parallel, NFV-PEAR seeks to minimize network changes (e.g., reallocation of VNFs or network flows). The results obtained from an experimental evaluation provide evidence that NFV-PEAR has potential to deliver more stable operation of network services, while significantly reducing the number of network changes required to ensure end-to-end flow performance.

Повний текст джерелаSoftware Defined Networking (SDN) har blivit mer och mer populärt i kombination med Network Function Virtualization (NFV). SDN är en sätt för att göra ett nätverk mer programmerbart och dynamiskt. För att skapa ett homogent nätverk med detta koncept, behöver man dock ersätta traditionell utrustning med SDN utrustning som är dyr. För att stänga gapet mellan traditionella nätverk och SDN-världen, introducerar vi ett koncept med ett traditionell Network Management System (NMS) som är anslutet till en SDN-styrenhet för att utföra tjänsteprovisionering. På detta sätt kan NMS:et konfigurera både traditionella och SDN-nätverk, samt provisionera tjänster för kunderna medan nya SDN-funktioner möjliggörs i SDN-delen av nätverket. Den huvudsakliga tjänsten som vi vill lansera genom SDN är Service Function Chaining (SFC). Tjänsteprovisionering består av att konstruera en väg genom beställda tjänster, i detta fall Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). Detta examensarbete fokuserar huvusakligen på SDN-styrenheten och dess interaktion med NMS:et. Projektet syftar till att konfigurera OpenFlow regler i SDN-styrenheten för att utföra SFC. Dessutom fokuserar arbetet på hur man kan representera SDN-element och SFCs i ett traditionellt NMS. Vidare diskuteras vilken information som ska utbytas mellan NMS:et och SDNstyrenheten. NMS:et som ska vara användas är BECS, ett system utvecklat av Packetfront Software. Uppgiften löses genom att skapa ett proof of concept, som innehåller ett komplett system med alla komponenter från nätverkselement till NMS:et. Genom att använda en bottom-up-strategi för detta proof of concept kan informationen som BECS måste skicka till SDN styrenheten indentifieras, innan design och implementation av förbindelsen mellan enheterna kan utföras. När informationen är skickad ska NMS:et kunna hämta information om huruvida styrenheten fick informationen utan fel. Dock uppstår ett problem gällande hur man testar och felsöker detta proof of concept. Av denna anledning skapades ett web Graphical User Interface (GUI). Användargränssnittet visar antalet paket som går genom varje VNF, samt var i nätverket fel uppstår. Analysen undersöker hur stor effekten är för en nätverkadministrator och visar att området där fel kan uppstå begränsas avsevärt.

Повний текст джерелаNätverksfunktioner i lager 4-7 som t.ex. brandväggar eller NAPT har traditionellt implementeras på specialdesignad hårdvara med väldigt få programeringsegenskaper. Forskning inom datakomunikation har fokuserat på att istället möjliggöra dessa funktioner i mjukvara på standardhårdvara. Trots att många framsteg har gjorts inom området under de senaste åren (t.ex. nätverks I/O accelerering), kan inte mjukvarubaserade nätverksfunktioner garantera önskad tjänstenivå för kunderna (t.ex. begränsade latensvärden) p.g.a. det reaktiva tillvägagångsättet när arbetslasten ändras. Den här avhandlingen visar att med hjälp av maskininlärning så går det att förutse hur trafikflöden ändras över tid. Nätverksorkestrering kan sedan användas för att allokera resurser (bandbredd, beräkning, minne) i förväg samt mer precist. För detta ändamål har vi utvecklat Mantis, en nätverksapplikation i kontrolplanet som övervakar alla nätverksenheter för att generera prestandabaserade mätvärden och använder matematiska prediktorer (moving average, autoregression, wavelets, o.s.v.) för att förutse kommande ändringar i dessa värden. Det är en utmaning att välja rätt metod för att skapa prognosen för varje resurs. Därför har vi utvecklat flera olika prediktorer. Dessutom har varje prediktor flera konfigurationsvärden som kan ändras av administratören. För att utvärdera Mantis prognoser har vi satt upp ett testnätverk med en av marknadens ledande nätverkskontrollers, Metron [16], en NAPT nätverksfunktion implementerad med FastClick [6] och två testnoder. Den ena noden skickar data hämtad från verklig Internettrafik (erhållen från CAIDA [33]) samtidigt som vår applikation, Mantis, skapar prognoser i realtid. Manuell inspektion av resultaten tyder på att alla våra prediktorer har god precision, förutom början av en spårning då modellerna byggs upp eller vid abrupt ändring. Dessutom kan precisionen ökas ytterligare genom att använda diskret wavelet transformering av värdena innan prognosen görs.

Повний текст джерела5G marca el inicio de una gran revolución en las redes móviles, convirtiéndose en redes orientadas a servicios para satisfacer las demandas de nuevos actores, las industrias verticales. Esta revolución supone un rediseño total de la arquitectura de red donde la complejidad, heterogeneidad, dinamicidad y flexibilidad serán la norma. En este contexto, la automatización y programabilidad serán esenciales para superar los rígidos procesos actuales de operación de red. Las redes definidas por software (SDN), la virtualización de funciones de red (NFV) y el particionamiento de redes son técnicas clave para proporcionar dichas capacidades. Éstas son complementarias, pero aún recientes y sus sinergias se deben explotar para realizar la nueva visión. El objetivo de esta tesis es contribuir a su desarrollo e integración en la nuevas generaciones de redes móviles mediante el diseño de una arquitectura de orquestación de servicios de red (NSO) extremo a extremo (E2E), que alineada con algunas pautas y especificaciones de los principales organismos de estandarización, va más allá de los actuales sistemas de gestión y orquestación (MANO) para instanciar y garantizar los requisitos de los diversos servicios de red desplegados concurrentemente en infraestructuras heterogéneas compartidas que combinan múltiples tecnologías y dominios administrativos (AD). Siguiendo un enfoque ascendente, comenzamos a estudiar aspectos de SDN relacionados con la gestión de elementos de red inalámbricos y su integración en arquitecturas jerárquicas de orquestación de recursos de red en infraestructuras multi tecnología (inalámbrica, óptica, paquetes). Luego, este trabajo se integra en un módulo de administración de infraestructura que ejecuta de forma conjunta la abstracción y la asignación de recursos de red y computación en múltiples puntos de presencia (PoP) distribuidos conectados por una red de transporte, aspecto que no está (o ligeramente) considerado por los actuales sistemas MANO. Este módulo ejecuta la integración de las técnicas NFV y SDN. Esta integración está dirigida por el módulo Orquestador de Servicios, que automatiza la gestión E2E del ciclo de vida de los servicios de red implementando las diferentes particiones de red en base a los requisitos de los verticales, los recursos de infraestructura disponibles y mientras cumple los acuerdos de nivel de servicio (SLA) durante la operación del servicio. Esta arquitectura, centrada en escenarios con un único AD, forma el primer grupo de contribuciones de esta tesis. El segundo grupo de contribuciones evoluciona esta arquitectura abordando la orquestación y compartición de particiones de red y sus componentes (NSSIs) en escenarios con múltiples AD. La consideración detallada de aspectos de orquestación de recursos es el principal aspecto diferencial con la literatura. Esto es fundamental para la interconexión de NSSIs, haciendo realidad la orquestación E2E y el particionamiento de red en escenarios con múltiples AD. Además, se considera la gestión de SLA mediante acciones de escalado durante la operación del servicio en los escenarios mencionados. El tercer grupo de contribuciones valida las arquitecturas, procedimientos e interfaces resultantes pues se han implementado y evaluado sobre infraestructuras experimentales reales que presentan múltiples AD y tecnologías de transporte interconectando PoP distribuidos. Esta experimentación considera definiciones de servicios de red cercanos a casos de uso de verticales reales, como automoción y eHealth, ayudando a cubrir la brecha entre los proveedores de red y los verticales. Los resultados experimentales muestran que la creación y el escalado de servicios de red se pueden realizar en pocos minutos en escenarios con un único o múltiples ADs, en línea con los indicadores de red objetivos de 5G. Estas medidas, escasas en la literatura actual, sirven como referencia para caracterizar las diferentes operaciones involucradas durante el despliegue de servicios.

Повний текст джерелаNetwork densification using small cells massively deployed over the macro-cell areas, represents a promising solution for future 5G mobile networks to cope with mobile traffic increase. In order to simplify the management of the heterogeneous Radio Access Network (RAN) that results from the massive deployment of small cells, recent research and industrial studies have promoted the design of novel centralized RAN architectures termed as Cloud-RAN (C-RAN), or Virtual RAN (V-RAN), by incorporating the benefits of cloud computing and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The DynaRoC project aims at (1) developing a theoretical framework of resource orchestration for C-RAN and deriving the fundamental performance limits as well as the tradeoffs among various system parameters, and (2) designing dynamic resource orchestration mechanisms based on the theoretical findings to achieve a desired performance balance, by taking into account various design challenges. The PhD student will investigate innovative resource optimization mechanisms to foster the deployment of C-RANs, improving their performance exploiting the enabling Network Functions Virtualization technology

Повний текст джерелаThe recent trend toward Network Softwarization is driving an unprecedented technoeconomic shift in the Telecom and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) industries. By separating the hardware on which network functions/services run and the software that realizes and controls the network functions/services, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are creating an open ecosystem that drastically reduces the cost of building networks and changes the way operators operate their networks. SDN and NFV paradigms add more flexibility and enable more control over networks, thus, related technologies are expected to dominate a large part of the networking market in the next few years (estimated at USD 3.68B in 2017 and forecasted by some to reach 54B USD by 2022 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 71.4%). However, one of the major operators’ concerns about Network Softwarization is security. In this thesis, we have first designed and implemented a pentesting (penetration testing) framework for SDN controllers. We have proposed a set of algorithms to fingerprint a remote SDN controller without having direct connection to it. Using our framework, network operators can evaluate the security of their SDN deployments (including Opendaylight, Floodlight and Cisco Open SDN Controller) before putting them into production. Second, we have studied the Topology Discovery problem in SDN controllers and discovered major security (as well as performance) issues around the current de-facto OpenFlow Topology Discovery Protocol (OFDP). In order to fix these major issues, we have designed and implemented a new secure and efficient OpenFlow Topology Discovery Protocol (called sOFTDP). sOFTDP requires minimal changes to the OpenFlow switch design and is shown to be more secure than previous workarounds on traditional OFDP. Also, sOFTDP outperforms OFDP by several orders of magnitude which we confirmed by extensive experiments. The second axis of our research in this thesis is smart management in softwarized networks. Inspired by the recent breakthroughs in machine learning techniques, notably, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), we have built a traffic engineering engine for SDN called NeuRoute, entirely based on DNNs. Current SDN/OpenFlow controllers use a default routing based on Dijkstra’s algorithm for shortest paths, and provide APIs to develop custom routing applications. NeuRoute is a controller-agnostic dynamic routing framework that (i) predicts traffic matrix in real time, (ii) uses a neural network to learn traffic characteristics and (iii) generates forwarding rules accordingly to optimize the network throughput. NeuRoute is composed of two main components: NeuTM and NeuRoute-TRU. NeuTM is a traffic matrix (TM) prediction framework that uses Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network architecture to learn long-range traffic dependencies and characteristics then accurately predicts future TMs. NeuRoute-TRU is a path selection engine that computes optimal paths for traffic matrices predicted by NeuTM. NeuRoute-TRU achieves the same results as the most efficient dynamic routing heuristic but in much less execution time

Повний текст джерелаThe Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm promises to make computer networks more scalable and flexible by decoupling the network functions (NFs) from dedicated and vendor-specific hardware. However, network and compute intensive NFs may be difficult to virtualize without performance degradation. In this context, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been shown to be a good option for hardware acceleration of virtual NFs that require high throughput, without deviating from the concept of an NFV infrastructure which aims at high flexibility. Regular expression matching is an important and compute intensive mechanism used to perform Deep Packet Inspection, which can be FPGA-accelerated to meet performance constraints. This solution, however, introduces new challenges regarding dependability requirements. Particularly for SRAM-based FPGAs, soft errors on the configuration memory are a significant dependability threat. In this work we present a comprehensive fault tolerance mechanism to deal with configuration faults on the functionality of FPGA-based regular expression matching engines. Moreover, a placement-aware scrubbing mechanism is introduced to reduce the system repair time, improving the system reliability and availability. Experimental results show that the overall failure rate and the system mean time to repair can be reduced in 95% and 90%, respectively, with manageable area and performance costs.

Повний текст джерелаEtt datacenter inrymmer hundratusentals servrar och en stor mängd bandbredd krävs för att skicka data mellan tusentals servrar. Flera datacenter baserade på paketförmedlande arkitekturer föreslås för att tillgodose kravet på hög bandbredd med hjälp av flerskiktsnätverkstopologier, men på bekostnad av ökad komplexitet i nätverken och hög energiförbrukning. Under de senaste åren har fokus skiftat från paketförmedling till optisk kretsomkoppling for att bygga datacenternätverk som kan stödja på-begäran-anslutningar och höga bithastigheter med låg strömförbrukning. Å andra sidan, med tillkomsten av Software Defined Networking (SDN) och nätverksfunktionen Virtualisering (NFV), har betydelsen av datacenter blivit mer avgörande. Det har ökat behovet av dynamik och flexibilitet inom ett datacenter, vilket leder till storre komplexitet i datacenternätverken. Med NFV kan tjänstekedjor åstadkommas i ett datacenter, där virtualiserade nätverksfunktioner (VNFs) som körs på servrar i ett datacenter kan instansieras och avslutas dynamiskt. Ett datacenter måste också tillgodose kravet på stor kapacitet eftersom tjänstekedjan innebär styrning av stora aggregerade flöden. Användningen av optisk kretsomkoppling i datacenternätverk ser ganska lovande ut for att uppfylla sådana trafikkrav dynamik och hög kapacitet. I detta examensarbete, har en ny och modulär optisk datacenternätverksarkitektur (DCN) som använder flerriktningvåglängdsswitchar (MD-WSS) införs.

Повний текст джерелаNetwork service providers have to cope with the growing on-demand need from end-users as well as the diversity of usage. The "softwerization" and "loudification" of the network components offer a promising solution to achieve the agility necessary to dynamically match the servcice requirements with the level of resource consumption. Cloud-based solutions promises an economy of scale and simpler management. Virtualizing the many network appliances offers the flexibility to adapt to the varying service demand. This materializes with the deployment of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) where Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) may be chained together to create network services. This dissertation studies the resource allocation problem in an NFV system for minimizing its cost under constraints on interconnectivity among VNFs, system resources, and service requirements. The main consideration is the reduction of the overall deployment cost while efficiently utilizing the available resources. In addition, a number of other important constraints are considered such as migration and congestion. Our first goal is to increase our understanding of the performance of an NFV system with respect to network functions placement and routing. We formalize the problem in a comprehensive maner taking into account a broad set of relevant parameters. The static (OFFLINE) and dynamic (ONLINE) cases are considered. We propose and analyze three heuristic algorithms: two for handling large dimensions of the OFFLINE problem and one designed to address the ONLINE scenario. The results show that our solution outperforms the state of the art with respect to critical performance index. We also evaluate the impact of migrating a set of running demands, and propose a simple migration technique for the dynamic system. We extend this work by proposing a simpler model to improve the performance of our solution. The second part of our work focuses on minimizing the resource utilization of an NFV system. The main distinctive point is that we can apply the model to a dynamic system with large instances. Moreover, we also provide an interesting method for generating some strong inequalities to improve the Linear Programming (LP) solving in a higher dimensional space. The obtained results are not only making the model easier but also can be used efficiently in other models. A third contribution focuses specifically on the routing problem in NFV. An important evolution of the users’ needs is represented by the dynamic on-demand access to network, vstorage and compute resources. Therefore, routing efficiently a demand across nodes handling the functions involved in a given service chain constitutes the a novel problem that we address in this last section. We provide an original formulation of this problem based on the construction of an expanded network. We derive the exact mathematical formulation and propose several approximate algorithms taking into account the main system’s parameters. We conclude by deriving some interesting insights both about the algorithms and the network performance. We finally conclude with our main findings and highlight many avenues for future work

NFV is about running network functions as virtualized workloads on commodity hardware. This may optimize deployment costs and simplify the life cycle management, but it introduces new challenges such as the dynamic network topology and the lack of visibility. In this thesis, we propose a self-modeling algorithm and an active diagnosis process to face these challenges. We define a dependency model learned from faults injection.

Повний текст джерелаCloud computing emerged as a new paradigm for on-demand provisioning of IT resources and for infrastructure externalization and is rapidly and fundamentally revolutionizing the way IT is delivered and managed. The resulting incremental Cloud adoption is fostering to some extent cloud providers cooperation and increasing the needs of tenants and the complexity of their demands. Tenants need to network their distributed and geographically spread cloud resources and services. They also want to easily accomplish their deployments and instantiations across heterogeneous cloud platforms. Traditional cloud providers focus on compute resources provisioning and offer mostly virtual machines to tenants and cloud services consumers who actually expect full-fledged (complete) networking of their virtual and dedicated resources. They not only want to control and manage their applications but also control connectivity to easily deploy complex network functions and services in their dedicated virtual infrastructures. The needs of users are thus growing beyond the simple provisioning of virtual machines to the acquisition of complex, flexible, elastic and intelligent virtual resources and services. The goal of this thesis is to enable the provisioning and instantiation of this type of more complex resources while empowering tenants with control and management capabilities and to enable the convergence of cloud and network services. To reach these goals, the thesis proposes mapping algorithms for optimized in-data center and in-network resources hosting according to the tenants' virtual infrastructures requests. In parallel to the apparition of cloud services, traditional networks are being extended and enhanced with software networks relying on the virtualization of network resources and functions especially through network resources and functions virtualization. Software Defined Networks are especially relevant as they decouple network control and data forwarding and provide the needed network programmability and system and network management capabilities. In such a context, the first part proposes optimal (exact) and heuristic placement algorithms to find the best mapping between the tenants' requests and the hosting infrastructures while respecting the objectives expressed in the demands. This includes localization constraints to place some of the virtual resources and services in the same host and to distribute other resources in distinct hosts. The proposed algorithms achieve simultaneous node (host) and link (connection) mappings. A heuristic algorithm is proposed to address the poor scalability and high complexity of the exact solution(s). The heuristic scales much better and is several orders of magnitude more efficient in terms of convergence time towards near optimal and optimal solutions. This is achieved by reducing complexity of the mapping process using topological patterns to map virtual graph requests to physical graphs representing respectively the tenants' requests and the providers' physical infrastructures. The proposed approach relies on graph decomposition into topology patterns and bipartite graphs matching techniques. The third part propose an open source Cloud Networking framework to achieve cloud and network resources provisioning and instantiation in order to respectively host and activate the tenants' virtual resources and services. This framework enables and facilitates dynamic networking of distributed cloud services and applications. This solution relies on a Cloud Network Gateway Manager and gateways to establish dynamic connectivity between cloud and network resources. The CNG-Manager provides the application networking control and supports the deployment of the needed underlying network functions in the tenant desired infrastructure (or slice since the physical infrastructure is shared by multiple tenants with each tenant receiving a dedicated and isolated portion/share of the physical resources)

Повний текст джерелаRecent advances in networks, such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), are changing the way network operators deploy and manage Internet services. On one hand, SDN introduces a logically centralized controller with a global view of the network state. On the other hand, NFV enables the complete decoupling of network functions from proprietary appliances and runs them as software applications on general–purpose servers. In such a way, network operators can dynamically deploy Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). SDN and NFV benefit network operators by providing new opportunities for reducing costs, enhancing network flexibility and scalability, and shortening the time-to-market of new applications and services. Moreover, the centralized routing model of SDN jointly with the possibility of instantiating VNFs on–demand, may open the way for an even more efficient operation and resource management of networks. For instance, an SDN/NFV-enabled network may simplify the Service Function Chain (SFC) deployment and provisioning by making the process easier and cheaper. In this study, we aim at investigating how to leverage both SDN and NFV in order to exploit their potential benefits. We took steps to address the new opportunities offered in terms of network design, network resilience, and energy savings, and the new problems that arise in this new context, such as the optimal network function placement in the network. We show that a symbiosis between SDN and NFV can improve network performance and significantly reduce the network's Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx)

Повний текст джерелаTo address the enhanced mobile broadband, massive and critical communications for the Internet of things, Fifth Generation (5G) of mobile communications is being deployed, nowadays, relying on multiple enablers, namely: Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV).C-RAN decomposes the new generation Node-B into: i) Remote Radio Head (RRH), ii) Digital Unit (DU), and iii) Central Unit (CU), also known as Cloud or Collaborative Unit.DUs and CUs are the two blocks that implement the former 4G Baseband Unit (BBU) while leveraging eight options of functional splits of the front-haul for a fine-tuned performance. The RRH implements the radio frequency outdoor circuitry. SDN allows programming network's behavior by decoupling the control plane from the user plane and centralizing the flow management in a dedicated controller node. NFV, on the other hand, uses virtualization technology to run Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) on commodity servers. SDN and NFV allow the partitioning of the C-RAN, transport and core networks as network slices defined as isolated and virtual end-to-end networks tailored to fulfill diverse requirements requested by a particular application. The main objective of this thesis is to develop resource-provisioning algorithms (Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, energy, and spectrum) for 5G networks while guaranteeing optimal provisioning of VNFs for a cloud-based infrastructure. To achieve this ultimate goal, we address the optimization of both resources and infrastructure within three network domains: 5G Core Network (5GC), C-RAN and the SDN controllers. We, first formulate the 5GC offloading problem as a constrained-optimization to meet multiple objectives (virtualization cost, processing power and network load) by making optimal decisions with minimum latency. We optimize the usage of the network infrastructure in terms of computing capabilities, power consumption, and bitrate, while meeting the needs per slice (latency, reliability, efficiency, etc.). Knowing that the infrastructure is subject to frequent and massive events such as the arrival/departure of users/devices, continuous network evolution (reconfigurations, and inevitable failures), we propose a dynamic optimization using Branch, Cut and Price, while discussing objectives effects on multiple metrics.Our second contribution consists of optimizing the C-RAN by proposing a dynamic mapping of RRHs to BBUs (DUs and CUs). On first hand, we propose clustering the RRHs in an aim to optimize the downlink throughput. On second hand, we propose the prediction of the Power Headroom (PHR), to optimize the throughput on the uplink.We formulate our RRHs clustering problem as k-dimensional multiple Knapsacks and the prediction of PHR using different Machine Learning (ML) approaches to minimize the interference and maximize the throughput.Finally, we address the orchestration of 5G network slices through the software defined C-RAN controller using ML-based approaches, for all of: classification of performance requirements, forecasting of slicing ratios, admission controlling, scheduling and adaptive resource management.Based on extensive evaluations conducted in our 5G experimental prototype based on OpenAirInterface, and using an integrated performance management stack, we show that our proposals outperform the prominent related strategies in terms of optimization speed, computing cost, and achieved throughput

Повний текст джерелаLa complejidad de la operación y la gestión de las emergentes redes celulares aumenta a medida que evolucionan para hacer frente a las crecientes necesidades de calidad de servicio (QoS), las tasas de datos y la diversidad de los servicios ofrecidos. De esta forma aparecen desafíos críticos con respecto a su rendimiento. Al mismo tiempo, la sostenibilidad de la red empuja hacia la utilización de la infraestructura de red de acceso radio (RAN) compartida entre operadores de redes móviles (MNO). Esto requiere técnicas avanzadas de gestión de redes que deben desarrollarse en función de las características especiales de estas redes y las demandas de tráfico. Por lo tanto, es necesario proporcionar soluciones que permitan la creación de particiones de red aisladas lógicamente sobre la infraestructura de red física compartida. Para ello, en esta tesis, estudiamos las soluciones de virtualización de la RAN destinadas a abordar estos desafíos. En la primera parte de la tesis, nos centramos en mapear elementos de red virtual en recursos de radio de la red física, en un escenario LTE-A de múltiples niveles que es propiedad de un solo MNO. Proponemos una solución de virtualización a nivel de estación base (BS), donde los módulos de banda base de BSs distribuidas, interconectadas a través de la interfaz lógica X2, cooperan para reasignar los recursos radio en función de las necesidades de tráfico. Nuestra propuesta mejora el rendimiento del sistema al obtener un rendimiento 53% en comparación con esquemas de referencia. En la segunda parte de la tesis, nos concentramos en facilitar el aprovisionamiento de recursos entre muchos operadores de redes virtuales móviles (MVNO), al integrar el capacity broker en la arquitectura de administración de red 3GPP con un conjunto míinimo de mejoras. En este escenario, un MNO es el propietario de la red y proporciona acceso bajo demanda (en inglés on-demand) a varios MVNOs. Además, para aprovechar al máximo las capacidades del capacity broker, proponemos un algoritmo para la asignación de recursos bajo demanda, considerando dos tipos de tráfico con distintas características. Nuestra propuesta alcanza 50% más de solicitudes admitidas sin violación del Acuerdo de Nivel de Servicio (SLA) en comparación con otros esquemas. En la tercera parte de la tesis, estudiamos una solución para el slicing de red independiente del tipo de BS, considerando la virtualización de BS en un escenario de múltiples MVNOs (multi-tenants). Este escenario se compone de diferentes tipos de tráfico (por ejemplo, usuarios con requisitos de latencia estrictos y usuarios con altas demandas de velocidad de datos) junto con BSs caracterizadas por diferentes capacidades de acceso y transporte (por ejemplo, Remote Radio Heads, RRHs, Small cells, SC y 5G NodeBs, gNBs con varias divisiones funcionales que tienen una red de transporte ideal y no ideal). Nuestra solución logra una ganancia promedio de uso de espectro de 67% y una reducción de la carga de procesamiento de la banda base de 16.6% en comparación con escenarios de referencia. Finalmente, concluimos la tesis al proporcionando los desafíos y retos de investigación para trabajos futuros.
