摘要: 针对如何将5G网络中动态到达的VNF实例所形成的服务功能链映射至底层物理网络的问题,设计了一种服务功能链动态映射方案。该方案将ASMA算法时延模型改进为端对端动态映射时延模型,基于该模型设计了VNF实例映射算法和VNF实例冗余算法,实现了VNF实例动态映射和冗余备份功能。通过MATLAB对整体方案进行仿真,并将该方案与ASMA的映射算法进行实验对比,结果表明该方案能够降低服务功能链映射的成本,且在业务流请求数较小时,能够有效减小服务功能链映射的传输时延与传播时延。Abstract: To address the problem of embedding the service function chain composed of dynamically arriving VNF instances in 5G network into physical network,a dynamic service function chain embedding scheme is proposed,in which the delay model in ASMA algorithm is improved to an end-to-end dynamic embedding delay model.Based on the model,a VNF instance embedding algorithm and a VNF instance redundancy algorithm are designed to realize the functions of VNF instance dynamic embedding and instance redundant backup.The entire scheme is simulated in MATLAB and compared with the embedding algorithm in ASMA.Experiment results show that the proposed scheme could reduce the cost of service function chain embedding and efficiently reduce the transmission delay and propagation delay induced by the service function chain embedding in the case of small service request amount.
