Description of the research topic:
Over the last decades, a large number of middleboxes have been deployed in computer networks, to increase security and application performance, as well as to offer new services in the form of static and dynamic in-network processing (see the services by Akamai, Google Global Cache, Netflix Open Connect). However, the increasing cost and inflexibility of hardware middleboxes (slow deployment, complex upgrades, lack of scalability), motivated the advent of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), which aims to run the functionality provided by middleboxes as software on commodity hardware. We currently also witness first deployments, e.g., TeraStream. Especially the possibility to chain individual network functions to form more complex services has recently attracted much interest, both in academia, as well as in industry. Developing efficient methods and algorithmic techniques in this field a new challanging research topic.
