text: "For optimal placement and orchestration of network services, it is crucial\r\nthat
their structure and semantics are specified clearly and comprehensively\r\nand
are available to an orchestrator. Existing specification approaches are\r\neither
ambiguous or miss important aspects regarding the behavior of virtual\r\nnetwork
functions (VNFs) forming a service. We propose to formally and\r\nunambiguously
specify the behavior of these functions and services using\r\nQueuing Petri Nets
(QPNs). QPNs are an established method that allows to\r\nexpress queuing, synchronization,
stochastically distributed processing delays,\r\nand changing traffic volume and
characteristics at each VNF. With QPNs,\r\nmultiple VNFs can be connected to complete
network services in any structure,\r\neven specifying bidirectional network services
containing loops.\r\n We discuss how management and orchestration systems can
benefit from our\r\nclear and comprehensive specification approach, leading to
better placement of\r\nVNFs and improved Quality of Service. Another benefit of
formally specifying\r\nnetwork services with QPNs are diverse analysis options,
which allow valuable\r\ninsights such as the distribution of end-to-end delay.
We propose a tool-based\r\nworkflow that supports the specification of network
services and the automatic\r\ngeneration of corresponding simulation code to enable
an in-depth analysis of\r\ntheir behavior and performance."

text: Network function virtualization and software-defined networking allow services
consisting of virtual network functions to be designed and implemented with great
flexibility by facilitating automatic deployments, migrations, and reconfigurations
for services and their components. For extended flexibility, we go beyond seeing
services as a fixed chain of functions. We define the service structure in a flexible
way that enables changing the order of functions in case the functionality of
the service is not influenced by this, and propose a YANG data model for expressing
this flexibility. Flexible structures allow the network orchestration system to
choose the optimal composition of service components that for example gives the
best results for placement of services in the network. When number of flexible
services and number of components in each service increase, combinatorial explosion
limits the practical use of this flexibility. In this paper, we describe a selection
heuristic that gives a Pareto set of the possible compositions of a service as
well as possible combinations of different services, with respect to different
optimization objectives. Moreover, we present a heuristic algorithm for placement
of a combination of services, which aims at placing service components along shortest
paths that have enough capacity for accommodating the services. By applying these
solutions, we show that allowing flexibility in the service structure is feasible.

text: In conventional large-scale networks, creation and management of network services
are costly and complex tasks that often consume a lot of resources, including
time and manpower. Network softwarization and network function virtualization
have been introduced to tackle these problems, aiming at decreasing costs and
complexity of implementing new services, maintaining the implemented services,
and managing available resources in service provisioning platforms and underlying
infrastructures. To experience the full potential of these approaches, innovative
development support tools and service provisioning environments are needed. To
answer these needs, we introduce the architecture of the open-source SONATA system,
a service programming, orchestration, and management framework. We present a development
toolchain for virtualized network services, fully integrated with a service platform
and orchestration system. We introduce the modular and flexible architecture of
our system and discuss its main components and features, such as function- and
service-specific managers that allow fine-grained service management, slicing
support to facilitate multi-tenancy, recursiveness for improved scalability, and
full-featured DevOps support.

text: "Developing a virtualized network service does not only involve the\r\n implementation
and configuration of the network functions it is\r\n composed of but also its
integration and test with management\r\n solutions that will control the service
in its production\r\n environment. These integration tasks require testbeds that
offer the\r\n needed network function virtualization infrastructure~(NFVI), like
OpenStack, introducing a\r\n lot of management and maintenance overheads. Such
testbed setups\r\n become even more complicated when the multi\r\n point-of-presence~(PoP)
case, with multiple infrastructure\r\n installations, is considered.\r\n\r\n
\ In this demo, we showcase an emulation platform that executes\r\n containerized
network services in user-defined multi-PoP\r\n topologies. The platform does
not only allow network service developers to\r\n locally test their services
but also to connect real-world\r\n management and orchestration solutions to
the emulated PoPs. During our\r\n interactive demonstration we focus on the integration
between\r\n the emulated infrastructure and state-of-the-art orchestration\r\n

text: Management of complex network services requires flexible and efficient service
provisioning as well as optimized handling of continuous changes in the workload
of the service.To adapt to changes in the demand, service components need to be
replicated (scaling) and allocated to physical resources (placement) dynamically.
In this paper, we propose a fullyautomated approach to the joint optimization
problem of scaling and placement, enabling quick reaction to changes. We formalize
the problem, analyze its complexity, and develop two algorithms to solve it. Extensive
empirical results show the applicability andeffectiveness of the proposed approach.

text: "Benchmarking and profiling virtual network functions (VNFs) generates input\r\nknowledge
for resource management decisions taken by \r\nmanagement and orchestration systems.
\r\nSuch VNFs are usually not executed in isolation but are often deployed as
part of a service function chain (SFC) that connects single functions into complex
\r\nstructures. To manage such chains, isolated performance\r\nprofiles of single
functions have to be combined to get insights into \r\nthe overall behavior of
an SFC. This becomes particularly\r\nchallenging in highly agile DevOps environments
in which profiling\r\nprocesses need to be fully automated and detailed insights
about a chain's\r\ninternal structures are not always available. \r\n\r\nIn this
paper, we introduce a\r\nfully automatable, flexible, and platform-agnostic profiling\r\nsystem
that allows to profile entire SFCs at once. This obviates \r\nmanual modeling
procedures to combine profiling results from single\r\nVNFs to reflect SFC performance.
\r\nWe use a case study with different SFC configurations to show that it\r\nis
hard to model the resulting SFC performance based on single-VNF measurements and
that\r\nperformance interactions between real, non-trivial functions that are
deployed in a\r\nchain exist. "

text: "Allocating resources to virtualized network functions and services to meet
service level agreements is a challenging task for NFV management and orchestration
systems. This becomes even more challenging when agile development methodologies,
like DevOps, are applied. In such scenarios, management and orchestration systems
are continuously facing new versions of functions and services which makes it
hard to decide how much resources have to be allocated to them to provide the
expected service performance. \r\nOne solution for this problem is to support
resource allocation decisions with performance behavior information obtained by
profiling techniques applied to such network functions and services.\r\n\r\nIn
this position paper, we analyze and discuss the components needed to generate
such performance behavior information within the NFV DevOps workflow. We also
outline research questions that identify open issues and missing pieces for a
fully integrated NFV profiling solution. Further, we introduce a novel profiling
mechanism that is able to profile virtualized network functions and entire network
service chains under different resource constraints before they are deployed on
production infrastructure."

text: "Virtualized network services consisting of multiple individual network functions
are already today deployed across multiple sites, so called multi-PoP (points
of presence) environments. This allows to improve service performance by optimizing
its placement in the network. But prototyping and testing of these complex distributed
software systems becomes extremely challenging. The reason is that not only the
network service as such has to be tested but also its integration with management
and orchestration systems. Existing solutions, like simulators, basic network
emulators, or local cloud testbeds, do not support all aspects of these tasks.\r\n\r\nTo
this end, we introduce MeDICINE, a novel NFV prototyping platform that is able
to execute production-ready network functions, provided as software containers,
in an emulated multi-PoP environment. These network functions can be controlled
by any third-party management and orchestration system that connects to our platform
through standard interfaces. Based on this, a developer can use our platform to
prototype and test complex network services in a realistic environment running
on his laptop.\r\n"

text: Network function virtualization and software-defined networking allow services
consisting of virtual network functions to be designed and implemented with great
flexibility by facilitating automatic deployments, migrations, and reconfigurations
for services and their components. For extended flexibility, we go beyond seeing
services as a fixed chain of functions. We present a YANG model for describing
the service structure in deployment requests in a flexible way that enables changing
the order of functions in case the order of traversing them does not affect the
functionality of the service. Upon receiving such requests, the network orchestration
system can choose the optimal composition of service components that gives the
best results for placement of services in the network. This introduces new complexities
to the placement problem by greatly increasing the number of possible ways a service
can be composed. In this paper, we describe a heuristic solution that selects
a Pareto set of the possible compositions of a service as well as possible combinations
of different services, with respect to different resource requirements of the
services. Our evaluations show that the selected combinations consist of representative
samples of possible structures and requirements and therefore, can result in optimal
or close-to-optimal placement results.
