Papers on Network Resource Allocation

🌟 We have released Virne, a python framework providing various algorithms for Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) problem

This is a paper list about Network Resource Allocation in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), including

  • Comprehensive Survey and Analysis
  • Slicing: Network Slicing
  • Chaining: VNF Chaining (aka SFC Orchestration)
  • Deployment: VNF Deployment (aka SFC Deployment)
  • Scheduling: VNF Scheduling (including Scaling, Reconfiguration and Migration)
  • Routing: Network Traffic Measurement and Management
  • Multi-domain (aka cross-domain, multi-region or other resemble name)

Here, VNF - Virtual Network Function and SFC - Service Function Chain.

We mainly collect papers from high-quality journals and conferences, and classify them according to method categories. Particularly, you can find more details of papers in the Machine Learning-based section, which represents an encouraging technique to efficiently solve network resource allocation problems.
