Research on mapping algorithm of virtual network oriented to SDN

In order to solve the problem of virtual network mapping,a mapping method based on ant colony hybrid genetic algorithm was put forward under SDN environment,which established a linear programming model for virtual network mapping,and divided the mapping process into node mapping and link mapping.Firstly,the fusion algorithm was adopted,in which virtual nodes were mapped to physical nodes.Then the shortest path algorithm was used to map the virtual link to a physical link.On this basis,the acceptance ratio of virtual network requests can be improved.Simulation experiment results show that acceptance rate of virtual network requests can be increased by 10% efficiently using the ant colony hybrid genetic algorithm,compared with existing mapping algorithms D-ViNE,RW-BFS and R-ViNE.Further more,proposed method can greatly improve the average utilization rate of nodes and links and the ratio of the mapping income to cost.     

Virtual network construction with K‐shortest path algorithm and optimization problems for robust physical networks

In network virtualization, it has been considered that virtual networks are constructed over a physical network where conventional data transmission services have been utilized. Here, virtual networks have to be constructed while keeping qualities of the conventional services. In this paper, we propose a new virtual network construction in order to construct many virtual networks while keeping the robustness of a physical network by using network resources effectively. The proposed method consists of three processes: K ‐shortest path algorithm and Prim's minimum spanning tree algorithm, path splitting, and path migration. In the proposed method, at first, multiple topologies are designed by using the K ‐shortest path algorithm and the Prim's MST algorithm according to the user's request. After the topology design is completed, an admission control with network robustness of the physical network is performed. Then, if one of the designed topologies can satisfy the construction conditions, a virtual network is constructed and provided with the user. Otherwise, the path splitting and path migration are performed. Here, the path splitting is utilized to design another topology of a virtual network and path migration is used to change the topologies of the virtual networks that have already been constructed. These processes are formulated as optimization problems and those are processed by solving the optimization problems. In numerical examples, we show that our proposed method can construct a higher number of virtual networks while keeping the robustness of a physical network by comparing with the conventional method where only the Kou–Markowsky–Berman algorithm is used.

Method of network slicing deployment based on performance-aware

In order to deal with the performance degradation caused by resource contention due to the sharing of physical resources between VNF in the network slicing,a network slicing deployment method based on performance-awareness was proposed.When deploying network slice instances,first two-phase deployment that mapping virtual nodes was adopted,and then virtual links were mapped.In the virtual nodes mapping phase,the VNF performance influences factor was defined from the perspective of resource supply and demand to quantify the degree of VNF performance impact.Then the sum of the performance influence factors of all VNF on the deployable physical server was found in the network slice instance,the physical server with the smallest sum of performance influence factors was used as the mapping location,and the simulated annealing-discrete particle swarm algorithm was used to find the nodes mapping result.In the virtual links mapping phase,the shortest path algorithm was used to obtain the link mapping result.The simulation results show that the proposed method reduces the impact of other network slices on its own service performance.     

Hop-Limit Path Mapping Algorithm for Virtual Network Embedding

Virtual network (VN) mapping which deals with the allocation of network resources from the shared physical substrate to individual VNs is one of the key challenges for the application of realizing network virtualization. While a variety of state-of-the-art algorithms have attempted to address this issue from different aspects, the challenge still remains for mapping virtual link with hop count constraint. This paper presents a fast approximation path mapping algorithm to address this issue by formulating such virtual link mapping problem as a path-flow mathematical programming model, which aims to minimize the maximum link load factor. Through the use of the primal–dual method, a fully polynomial time approximation algorithm is proposed to solve this model. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve the problem of path mapping with hop limit.

Dynamic recovery for survivable virtual network embedding

Network virtualization is a promising way to overcome the current ossification of the Intemet. It is essential challenge to find effective, efficient and robust embedding algorithms for recovering virtual network. The virtual network mapping algorithm based on integer programming which was proposed months ago. But it did consider the faults of physical network resources, which is so called survivable virtual network embedding （VNE） problem. Previous strategies for enabling survivability in network virtualization focused on providing protection for the physical network or enhancing the virtual networks by providing backup physical resources in advance, and treated all the physical failures as link failures. In the article, a dynamic recovery method is proposed to solve the survivable virtual network embedding problem based on the integer programming VNE algorithm. The dynamic recovery method doesn＇t need to backup physical resources and it makes more substrate resources which can be used in the embedding. The dynamic recovery process will be activated only when physical failures occur. Different algorithms are used to recovery node and link failures. Simulations show that the method helps to recover almost all of physical failures by finding the substitute nodes and paths, and its performance is very close to that of pure VNE method without considering physical failures.
