Orchestration mechanism for VNF hardware acceleration resources in SDN/NFV architecture

The hardware acceleration mechanism for VNF (virtual network function) is recently a hot research topic in SDN/NFV architecture because of the low processing performance of VNF.Once hardware acceleration resources have been plugged into the network,how to optimally mange and orchestrate these resour...

description The hardware acceleration mechanism for VNF (virtual network function) is recently a hot research topic in SDN/NFV architecture because of the low processing performance of VNF.Once hardware acceleration resources have been plugged into the network,how to optimally mange and orchestrate these resources under service requirements remains a question to be solved.Firstly,a unified management architecture based on separated control for hardware acceleration resources was proposed.Then,traditional network topology together with hardware acceleration resources were modeled into a unified network model and then the hardware acceleration resource orchestration problem was transferred into a multi-objective linear programming problem.Finally,a hardware-accelerator-card-prior’ heuristic algorithm was designed.Experimental results show that compared with existing methods,the proposed orchestration mechanism can efficiently manage hardware acceleration resources and reduce the processing latency by 30%.
