Profit-aware placement of multi-flavoured VNF chains

Edge intelligence for service function chain deployment in NFV-enabled networks

“…Due to the importance of SCs deployment problem, researchers have addressed a variety of topics in the recent years, such as minimizing energy consumption [3,4], monetary cost [5,6], end-to-end latency [7], maximizing resource utilization [8], profit [9] as well as a trade-off between multiple objectives such as joint latency and cost [10] and so on. However, despite the importance of the subject, less effort has been made about jointly balancing the network and server load.…”
