A Web-based Orchestrator for Dynamic Service Function Chaining Development with Kubernetes
2022 IEEE 8th International Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft)(2022)
摘要
The research community has been moving attention from Virtual Network Function (VNF) to Cloud-native Network Function (CNF) since cloudification has brought the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to an advanced level. It has already been demonstrated that cloud-native technology brings high flexibility and efficiency to large-scale network service deployment compared to the traditional VNF with Virtual Machines (VMs). However, more work is needed to provide a flexible and reliable Service Function Chaining (SFC) development solution in a cloud-native environment. This paper proposes a web-based orchestrator system to deploy an SFC use case consisting of multiple CNFs in a multi-node Kubernetes cluster using Network Service Mesh (NSM). We demonstrate a cloud-native SFC framework that allows users to dynamically create container-based SFC rather than the traditional VMs with NFV/SDN controller approach. Further, additional work is presented with the support of an open-source monitoring system, Prometheus, to validate the SFC path.
