Abstract

See full text

Software-based data planes for network function virtualization may use a modular approach in which network functions are implemented as modules that can be composed into service chains. Infrastructures that allow these modules to share central processing unit resources are particularly appealing since they support multi-tenancy or diverse service chains applied to different traffic classes. Systems, methods, and apparatuses introduce schemes for load balancing considering central processing unit utilization of a next hop device when processing a packet that uses a service chain.
