Abstract

Network slicing has been presented as one promising technology for resource management in modern networks, e.g., 5G. Based on virtualisation technologies, network slicing creates different virtual networks over one common physical infrastructure. Simulators have been presented as one solution to evaluate new solutions in that context based on scalability, flexibility, and monetary aspects. MobFogSim was proposed to support the evaluation of solutions for resource management in fog computing environments, including service migration, network slicing, and support to users' mobility. This work introduces the new features of MobFogSim in terms of the simulator's scalability and support to end-to-end slices, which includes the management of Fog Nodes' processing and storage resources. Simulations based on realistic parameters show the impact of different slice allocation strategies in the slices' resource allocation as well as the improvements in the simulator's scalability.
