Resource optimization algorithm of combination of NFV and SDN for application of multiple services

Various services of internet of things (IoT) require flexible network deployment to guarantee different quality of service (QoS).Aiming at the problem of IoT service function chain deployment,network function virtualization (NFV) and software defined networking (SDN) were combined to optimize resources.Considering forwarding cost and traffic load balance,a joint optimization model of virtual network function placement and service function chain routing was given and was proved to be NP-Hard.In order to solve this model,two heuristic algorithms were proposed.One was the service chain deployment algorithm of first routing then placing (FRTP) and the other was the placing followed by routing (PFBR) based on node priority.Simulation results demonstrate that FRTP and PFBR algorithm can significantly balance network traffic load while alleviating congestion and improving the acceptance ratio of the chain requests compared with other algorithms.
