Abstract

Network Function Virtualization provides a flexible and cost-effective alternative to design and manage network services. In this work, a VNF Manager (VNFM) architecture was proposed to manage the VNF lifecycle. The proposed VNFM simplifies management operations and enables interoperability between platforms. The second contribution proposes VNF-Consensus, a VNF that consistently synchronizes the distributed control plane in an SDN network. The VNF decouples the synchronization mechanisms, avoiding the overhead on the controllers. Finally, we introduce AnyBone, a virtual backbone that provides broadcast services that are deployed on the network itself. AnyBone ensures the order of the messages by using a sequencer which was implemented as a VNF.
