| Abstract(in English) | In a conventional network, most network devices, such as routers, are dedicated devices that do not have much variation in capacity. In recent years, a new concept of network functions virtualization (NFV) has come into use. The intention is to implement a variety of network functions with software on general-purpose servers, thus enabling the network operator to select their capacities and locations without any constraints. This paper focuses on allocation of NFV-based routing functions, which is one of critical network functions, and proposes the virtual routing function allocation algorithm that minimizes the total power consumption. In addition, the paper presents the optimal allocation policy of virtual routing functions, based on an evaluation with a ladder-shaped network model. This policy takes the ratio of the power consumption of a routing function to that of a circuit and traffic distribution between areas into consideration. Furthermore, the paper shows that there are cases where the use of NFV-based routing functions makes it possible to reduce the total power consumption dramatically, in comparison to a conventional network, in which it is not economically viable to distribute small-capacity routing functions. |
