AVALON developed an intelligent traffic steering mechanism to optimize the number and sequence (chain) of service functions. Dynamic SFC is based on higher layer inspection (Layer 7), i.e., traffic identification and classification at the application layer. To achieve this goal, the OpenStack-compatible Open Virtual Switch (OVS) has been extended adding an interface interacting with an… Read More

The PrivaCity experiment focused on data management optimization with scalable privacy and security, based on distributed access networks and scalable data storage in SDN-based data centres. The main goal of the experiment was to exploit the Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) capabilities for IoT massive deployments in scenarios such as Smart Cities. PrivaCity has… Read More

Modio’s experiment, Intelligent resource allocation for 5G cloud environments, implemented a novel computational intelligent-based approach to dynamically assist the dynamic resource allocation mechanism, implemented within OpenBaton’s autoscaler. Specifically, Modio  implemented a predictive agent incorporating state of the art forecasting algorithms (ARIMA, Holt Winters and Recurrent Neural Networks) in order to predict the upcoming system load… Read More

Cumucore has successfully completed its experiment on the SoftFIRE platform. The objective of 5GNaaS was to integrate NFV mobile packet core (EPC) as part of SoftFIRE federated testbed and install SDN-based switches in LTE eNBs. The objective of this experiment was to design and deploy the first slice manager according to 3GPP specifications  using the… Read More
