Abstract
Elastic deployments of virtualized network functions~(VNF) can automatically scale the amount of used resources in relation to their workload. This is often done by starting new VNF instances or stopping old ones. A problem of these scale operations is that most network functions are stateful and their internal state is not automatically migrated when traffic is redistributed in the deployment. As a result, mechanisms are needed to exchange or migrate internal network function state between VNF instances. This paper presents a state management framework that creates a logically distributed state store on top of elastically deployed virtual network functions. We also introduce a novel programming model that provides both a local and a global view of the state to each VNF instance. We discuss the integration of our framework into existing network function virtualization architectures and compare the performance of our prototype to a centralized and a distributed state store solution.
