<th>Abstract</th>
<td>In conventional software-defined networking (SDN), a controller
classifies the traffic redirected from a switch to determine the path to
 network function virtualization (NFV) modules. The redirection
generates a large volume of control-plane traffic. We propose an
extended SDN architecture to reduce the traffic overhead to the
controller for providing NFV. The extension includes two-layer traffic
classification in the data plane, extended OpenFlow protocol messages
and service chaining mechanisms. Network events are analyzed in the data
 plane instead of the control plane. The efficiency is evaluated with a
case study of intrusion prevention. The evaluation shows that only 0.12
percent of the input traffic is handled by the controller, while 77.23
percent is handled on the controller in conventional SDN.</td>

<th>Abstract</th>
<td>In the last few years, Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV) have been introduced in the Internet as a
 new way to design, deploy and manage networking services. Working
together, they are able to consolidate and deliver the networking
components using standard IT virtualization technologies not only on
high-volume servers, but even in the end user premises. In this context,
 this paper presents the NetFATE architecture, a platform aimed at
putting virtual network functions (VNF) at the edge of the network. This
 platform is based on free and open source software on Provider
Equipment (PE) and Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) nodes, so allowing
function deployment simplification and management cost reduction.
Finally, the paper proposes a case study, consisting in the
implementation of two virtual personal firewalls used by two clients
moving between two access points located at the edge of the core
network.</td>

<th>Abstract</th>
<td>The Internet infrastructure is gradually improving its flexibility
and adaptability due to the incorporation of new promising technologies,
 such as the software-defined networks and the network function
virtualization. The main goal is to meet the diverse communication needs
 of the users, while the global system operation satisfies the business
and societal goals of the infrastructure and service providers. This
calls for solutions that consider both local and global network
viewpoints and provide sophisticated system control in a stable and
predictable way, while being service-aware. We propose a fully
integrated solution along these lines: the VLSP, a service-aware
software-defined infrastructure for networks and clouds. The VLSP
consists of three main distributed systems: a facility performing
uniformly logically-centralized management and control of the
infrastructure, called the virtual infrastructure management; an
information management infrastructure able to maintain an accurate view
of the infrastructure environment at both the local and system levels,
called the virtual infrastructure information service; and a lightweight
 virtualization hypervisor able to perform configuration changes in the
infrastructure resources, called the lightweight network hypervisor. We
discuss representative use-case scenarios, while we demonstrate how VLSP
 tunes performance trade-offs for particular service demands.</td>

<th>Abstract</th>
<td>Today operators deploy functions like Deep Packet Inspection,
Caches, traffic optimization, NAT and Firewall on the SGi/Gi-LAN for
subscribers accessing Internet based content/services. Currently these
functions are deployed on dedicated hardware components from different
vendors that most often need to be managed separately. This is not cost
efficient and gives long lead times for new services. The main
contribution of this paper is the implementation of a solution for
virtualizing the services on the SGi-LAN using NFV and SDN. The
virtualized services include TCP optimization, video optimization and
network analytics. In addition, a performance evaluation is presented
with focus on key indicators for virtualization. It is shown that
virtualizing network functions on servers using NFV adds an overhead of
20-40 μ seconds in latency per hop, but that the impact on the network
function performance is negligible. It is also shown that a COTS server
can support a single instance of the SDN controller programming 100K
OpenFlow transactions/second and that a software switch can implement
100K rules/sec while forwarding traffic at 160 Gbps with 200M rules. To
evaluate the scaling feature of NFV it is shown that the time to bring
up a new virtual network function was between 90-120 seconds.</td>

<th>Abstract</th>
<td>The principle of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) aims to
transform network architectures by implementing Network Functions (NFs)
in software that can run on commodity hardware. There are several
challenges inherent to NFV, among which is the need for an orchestration
 and management framework. This paper presents the Cloud4NFV platform,
which follows the major NFV standard guidelines. The platform is
presented in detail and special attention is given to data modelling
aspects. Further, insights on the current implementation of the platform
 are given, showing that part of its foundations lay on cloud
infrastructure management and Software Defined Networking (SDN)
platforms. Finally, it is presented a proof-of-concept (PoC) that
illustrates how the platform can be used to deliver a novel service to
end customers, focusing on Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) related
functions.</td>

<th>Abstract</th>
<td>Today's enterprise networks almost ubiquitously deploy middlebox
services to improve in-network security and performance. Although
virtualization of middleboxes attracts a significant attention, studies
show that such implementations are still proprietary and deployed in a
static manner at the boundaries of organisations, hindering open
innovation. In this paper, we present an open framework to create,
deploy and manage virtual network functions (NF)s in OpenFlow-enabled
networks. We exploit container-based NFs to achieve low performance
overhead, fast deployment and high reusability missing from today's NFV
deployments. Through an SDN northbound API, NFs can be instantiated,
traffic can be steered through the desired policy chain and applications
 can raise notifications. We demonstrate the systems operation through
the development of exemplar NFs from common Operating System utility
binaries, and we show that container-based NFV improves function
instantiation time by up to 68% over existing hypervisor-based
alternatives, and scales to one hundred co-located NFs while incurring
sub-millisecond latency.</td>

<th>Abstract</th>
<td>Networking and software design principles converge currently under
the notions of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function
Virtualization (NFV). This means that network services are not anymore
static and manually configured, but they become flexible and in the end
virtualized components. This convergence enables to dynamically
orchestrate the network, to move network functions to the cloud and to
direct and prioritize traffic intelligently. Applying cloud principles
to network services, configuration and management requires mechanisms
for automation, virtualization and elasticity. Ultimately, network
services may improve the customer experience for the end users requiring
 on-demand network resources. The Cross-Layer Orchestrator (CLO)
presented in this paper, establishes a tie between the Application and
the Network Layers. Through the proposed Cross Layer API, the CLO
provides an interface for client and server side applications to
reserve, alter and release network resources. Our solution makes the
network more dynamic by extending the orchestration functionalities not
only to provide on-demand provisioning of network services, but also
network flows. In this way the network should be able to adapt
accordingly to the requirements of the applications.</td>

<th>Abstract</th>
<td>SDN and NFV are two paradigms that introduce unseen flexibility in
telecom networks. Where previously telecom services were provided by
dedicated hardware and associated (vendor-specific) protocols, SDN
enables to control telecom networks through specialized software running
 on controllers. NFV enables highly optimized packet-processing network
functions to run on generic/multi-purpose hardware such as x86 servers.
Although the possibilities of SDN and NFV are well-known, concrete
control and orchestration architectures are still under design and few
prototype validations are available. In this demo we demonstrate the
dynamic up- and downscaling of an elastic router supporting NFV-based
network management, for example needed in a VPN service. The framework
which enables this elasticity is the UNIFY ESCAPE environment, which is a
 PoC following an ETSI NFV MANO-conform architecture. This demo is one
of the first to demonstrate a fully closed control loop for scaling NFs
in an SDN/NFV control and orchestration architecture.</td>
