Abstract(in English) In this paper, to adequately allocate CPU resources (available in limited amount) to virtual networks (VNs) requiring to satisfy diverse QoS levels in response to traffic variation without manual operations, we propose autonomic arbitration of CPU resources along SF chains which combines two CPU resource adjustment methods: The first method performs resource arbitration among VNs within a node, and the second method migrates NFs among nodes within a VN. These methods autonomically adjust the amount of CPU resource allocated to each NF so that over utilization of CPU can be avoided as much as possible. Moreover, during the autonomic resource adjustments in SF chains, the proposed methods are able to maintain communication paths on the substrate network so that the service is not interrupted at all. We also propose differentiated resource allocation for QoS differentiation and transferable resource searching. Through computer simulation, we verify that our autonomic resource adjustment methods can reduce the occurrence of CPU-saturation by more than 90%.
