Federated SFC Placement in Sliced Collaborative Multi-Administrative Multi-Domain Networks

Overview & Synopsis

This paper presents a method to embed end-to-end federated service chains. First, the ILP model is provided, which solves the resource allocation problem (network and compute), where each demand is defined via bandwidth, delay, and service function chain requirements. Second, an efficient heuristic is proposed and compared experimentally with the ILP model on various known multi-domain topologies. Finally, a network emulation security scenario is implemented in Containernet as a proof of concept.
