COMPUTE FOLLOWED BY NETWORK LOAD BALANCING PROCEDURE FOR EMBEDDING CLOUD SERVICES IN SOFTWARE-DEFINED FLEXIBLE-GRID OPTICAL TRANSPORT NETWORKS

摘要

A method entails an efficient procedure, namely Compute followed by Network Load Balancing (CNLB), that first maps virtual nodes over physical nodes while balancing computational resources of different types, and finally, maps virtual links over physical routes while balancing network spectral resources.
