Abstract
En 中文
The elastic optical network (EON) adopting virtual network function (VNF) is a new type of network, in which the routing, spectrum, and data center allocation are key and challenging problems, and solving these three problems simultaneously can not only improve the network efficiency for network providers, but also let users obtain better service. However, few existing works handle these three problems simultaneously. To tackle the three problems simultaneously, given a set of network function chains (i.e., a set of tasks), we set up a new multi-objective optimization model in which the total length of paths for all tasks is minimized, the totally occupied spectrums are minimized, and the loads on all data centers are most balanced, simultaneously. To solve the model, we design two new evolutionary algorithms. The experiments are conducted on 16 cases of 4 widely used types of networks, and the results indicate that the proposed model and algorithms are effective.
