On the design and development of emulation platforms for NFV-based infrastructures

Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) presents several advantages over traditional network architectures, such as flexibility, security, and reduced CAPEX/OPEX. In traditional middleboxes, network functions are usually executed on specialised hardware (e.g., firewall, DPI). Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on the other hand, are executed on commodity hardware, employing Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies (e.g., OpenFlow, P4). Although platforms for prototyping NFV environments have emerged in recent years, they still present limitations that hinder the evaluation of NFV scenarios such as fog computing and heterogeneous networks. In this work, we present NIEP: a platform for designing and testing NFV-based infrastructures and VNFs. NIEP consists of a network emulator and a platform for Click-based VNFs development. NIEP provides a complete NFV emulation environment, allowing network operators to test their solutions in a controlled scenario prior to deployment in production networks

CTC – Proposta de uma arquitetura para Testbed Universitária

A necessidade de realização de pesquisas de computação em larga escala vem estimulando a criação de redes de experimentação. Ao mesmo tempo, a virtualização de recursos computacionais através das clouds vem se demonstrando uma ferramenta muito atraente para as instituições, por prover economia, bom desempenho e melhor disponibilidade dos serviços. Contudo, o acesso a ambas as tecnologias ainda não é bem difundido nas instituições públicas de ensino. Assim, este trabalho propõe uma arquitetura de computação que integra cloud computing e testbeds dentro das universidades, a Campus Test Cloud

NIEP: NFV infrastructure emulation platform

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) presents several advantages over traditional network architectures, such as flexibility, security, and reduced CAPEX/OPEX. However, virtualizing network functions usually executed on specialized hardware (e.g., firewall, DPI, load balancer) and employing innovative technologies (e.g., OpenFlow, P4) increases the challenges of designing, testing, and deploying network infrastructures and services. Although platforms for prototyping NFV environments have emerged in recent years, they still present limitations that hinder the evaluation of specific NFV scenarios, such as fog computing and heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we present NIEP: a platform for designing and testing NFV-based infrastructures and Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) through the integration of a well-known network emulator (Mininet) and a novel platform for Click-based VNFs development (Click-on-OSv). NIEP provides a complete NFV emulation environment, allowing network operators to test their solutions in a controlled scenario prior to deployment in production networks. As main advantages, NIEP allows the emulation of heterogeneous scenarios, which can be easily migrated to production environments. An experimental scenario is defined to analyze NIEP's performance in terms of VNFs boot time and throughput. Further, NIEP's advantages and shortcomings are discussed and compared to existing emulation platforms
