Title
VISION -- Interactive and Selective Visualization for Management of NFV-Enabled Networks
Abstract
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) enhances the flexibility of network service provisioning and reduces the time to services deployment. NFV and SDN promises transform the carrier networks, introducing innovation in the network core. NFV moves packet processing from dedicated hardware middleboxes to Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs), which run on virtual machines hosted on commercial off-the-shelf servers. However, in NFV-enabled networks, the amount of data managed grows in a fast way. Based on this, the network operator must understand and manipulate a lot of information to effectively manage the network. In this paper, we introduce the VISION, a platform to help the network operator to determine the cause of problems based on visualizations techniques. Our platform implements a set of interactive and selective visualizations to assist in the NFV management. Finally, we conducted three cases studies to provide evidences of the feasibility of our platform.
