Abstract

In this paper, we present a possible way forward to the design of network coding (NC) as a virtual network functionality offered to the communication service designer. Specifically, we propose the integration of NC and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) architectural designs. The integration is

Highlights

  • Fundamental results show that network coding (NC) technology enables network capacity achievability both for noiseless [3] and noisy networks [4]

  • We propose the integration of NC and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) as a functional architecture given as a structured toolbox of NC design domains so that tailored designs can be implemented in software and deployed over virtualised infrastructures to allow flow engineering tailored to different service operational intent

  • The domain clearly relevant for NC to be designed as a NFV is the NC functional domain and we develop this domain

Summary

Introduction

Fundamental results show that NC technology enables network capacity achievability both for noiseless [3] and noisy networks [4]. The paper shows the relation between NC (as a software), VM and host OS of Open vSwich These works indicate the feasibility of integrating NC as a functionality based on SDN and the concentration of network functions in centralized architectures such as data centers or centralized locations proposed by network operators, service integrators and providers. The motivation of this paper is to show the generalization of NC design domains as a toolbox so that NC can be applied over different operational frameworks and services including satellite or hybrid networks enabling softwarization and rapid innovative deployment. We propose the integration of NC and NFV as a functional architecture given as a structured toolbox of NC design domains so that tailored designs can be implemented in software and deployed over virtualised infrastructures to allow flow engineering tailored to different service operational intent.
