- An Approach for Service Function Chain Routing and Virtual Function Network Instance Migration in Network Function Virtualization Architectures (2017, methodology): “In this paper, due to the advantages to avoid complex NFV state management issue, we investigate solutions based on vertical scaling techniques [12], [20]–[22] in which the VNFIs are dimensioned to achieve the processing capacity required by the traffic.”
- OpenNF (2014, background): “A simple approach of dropping these packets when srcInst receives them [34] prevents srcInst from establishing new state for the flows or failing due to missing state.”
- E2: a framework for NFV applications (2015, methodology): “…that maintain affinity either depend on state migration techniques (moving the relevant state from one instance to another), which is both expensive and incompatible with legacy applications [21], or require large rule sets in hardware switches [41]; we discuss these solutions later in § 7.”
- A comprehensive survey of Network Function Virtualization (2018, unknown): “Currently, there appear many automatic VNF migration frameworks (such as Split/Merge [218] and OpenNF [219] ), they are typically designed in terms of the SDN environment and used to fulfill the migration of traffic flows and their states.”
- Software-defined networking (SDN): a survey (2016, methodology): “Other works focus on load-balancing mechanisms [53] or SDN hierarchical methods [54].”
- Network function virtualization: Challenges and opportunities for innovations (2015, background): “NFV is prospectively the unifying revolution among the three, offering more revenue opportunities in the services value chain. are looking forward to more initiatives from networking research community to tackle various challenging issues introduced by NFV its widespread and successful adoption.”
