Virtual Network and Application Functions Characterization for Elastic Service Management
Abstract
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Service Function Chaining (SFC) provide essential tools for the widespread adoption of cloud computing, reducing CAPEX and OPEX and enabling autonomous and elastic service management. Traditionally CPU and Memory are used to promote the elasticity, which sometimes produces a misleading evaluation of the resources load. This paper characterizes the behavior of virtualized network and application functions, exploring new metrics in experiments with Firewall, DPI, Proxy, Web Servers, and IoT Context Broker, as well as their SFC compositions. The results show that the evaluation of TCP queues allows a better understanding of the behavior of these functions, clearly identifying not only the current state but the tendency of their behavior in the face of traffic growth.
