Institut Mines Telecom – Telecom SudParis proposed a Cost-efficient Centrality-based VNF Placement and chaining algorithm (aka CCVP) as one of the recent solution for cost-efficient network service provisioning.

The CCVP used the Betweenness centrality and flow source modification (FSM) techniques. The objective of CCVP was to find the optimal number of VNFs along with their locations in such a manner that the provider cost is minimized.

Institut Mines Telecom – Telecom SudParis wanted to evaluate their solution in a real platform in order to further evaluate the algorithm. Implementing CCVP in SoftFIRE gave the great opportunity of evaluating the CCVP on a federated and distributed platform that suits the CCVP goals.
