SOFTWARE DRIVEN LONG-TERM-EVOLUTION CORE NETWORK FOR MOBILE ACCESS

摘要

Systems and methods for managing network resources, including managing a generated virtualized data plane network using a central controller. Virtual machine (VM) resources are assigned to two or more different network functions at a local data center. Traffic is dynamically optimized based on at least one of aggregate traffic demands and quality of service (QoS) goals, and resource allocations and inter-data center (DC) bandwidth resources are determined for VMs for a plurality of services. VMs for each middlebox function and a routing plane for each service are configured based on the determined resource allocation, and flows are routed based on the resource allocation and one or more configured network paths using an overlay-routing framework.
