Open Marketplace and Service Orchestration in Virtual Network Environments
Abstract.
A key challenge in multi-vendor heterogeneous virtual networks is
providing transparent access to network resources and virtual functions
in a manner that enables users to combine them appropriately into
meaningful end-to-end services. In this paper, we present a solution
that consists of two components: an open marketplace where vendors and
users of network resources and functions meet to establish economic
relationships; and a planning service for creating end-to-end
communication services from functional building blocks available in the
marketplace. We also present optimal yet efficient algorithms for
tackling variants of the associated service chain routing problem.
