This becomes par- ticular challenging when stateful functions are involved, necessi- tating state management. The problem with existing solutions is that they typically embrace state migration and flow rerouting jointly, imposing a huge set of requirements on the on-boarded VNFs, e.g., solution-specific state management interfaces.\r\nIn this paper, we introduce the seamless handover proto- col (SHarP). It provides an easy-to-use, loss-less, and order- preserving flow rerouting mechanism that is not fixed to a single state management approach. This allows VNF vendors to implement or use the state management solution of their choice. SHarP supports these solutions with additional information when flows are migrated. Further, we show how SHarP significantly reduces the buffer usage at a central (SDN) controller, which is a typical bottleneck in existing solutions. Our experiments show that SHarP uses a constant amount of controller buffer, irrespective of the time taken to migrate the VNF state."}],"has_accepted_license":"1","project":[{"name":"5G Development and validation platform for global industry-specific network services and Apps","grant_number":"761493","_id":"28"},{"_id":"1","name":"SFB 901"},{"_id":"4","name":"SFB 901 - Project Area C"},{"_id":"16","name":"SFB 901 - Subproject C4"}],"date_created":"2018-06-25T12:21:49Z","file_date_updated":"2018-07-05T11:12:29Z","publication_status":"accepted","ddc":["000"],"file":[{"file_size":901561,"creator":"peuster","date_updated":"2018-07-05T11:12:29Z","date_created":"2018-07-05T11:11:37Z","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"main_ris.pdf","file_id":"3428"}],"doi":"10.1109/NETSOFT.2018.8460007"}
