An SDN-Based Solution for Horizontal Auto-Scaling and Load Balancing of Transparent VNF Clusters

An SDN-Based Solution for Horizontal Auto-Scaling and Load Balancing of Transparent VNF Clusters

This paper studies the problem of the dynamic scaling and load balancing of transparent virtualized network functions (VNFs). It analyzes different particularities of this problem, such as loop avoidance when performing scaling-out actions, and bidirectional flow affinity. To address this problem, a...
