| Abstract(in English) | Recently, network function virtualization has been focused to achieve flexible service deployment. A key to develop the network function virtualization is how easily a network function(s) can be separated from other network functions. In this paper, using the Internet protocol stack in the Linux kernel, we clarify an evolution of functional connectivity in protocols and between protocols through the Linux kernel development. As a result, we found that number of functions and number of function calls have been increased, but degree distribution and path length distribution have not been changed. Moreover, a modularity that indicates independency of network functions is not so high comparing with other biological systems. |
