Network virtualization is a promising way to overcome the current ossification of the Internet.It is essential challenge to find effective,efficient and robust embedding algorithms for recovering virtual network.The virtual network mapping algorithm based on integer programming which was proposed months ago.But it did consider the faults of physical network resources,which is so called survivable virtual network embedding(VNE)problem.Previous strategies for enabling survivability in network virtualization focused on providing protection for the physical network or enhancing the virtual networks by providing backup physical resources in advance,and treated all the physical failures as link failures.In the article,a dynamic recovery method is proposed to solve the survivable virtual network embedding problem based on the integer programming VNE algorithm.The dynamic recovery method doesn’t need to backup physical resources and it makes more substrate resources which can be used in the embedding.The dynamic recovery process will be activated only when physical failures occur.Different algorithms are used to recovery node and link failures.Simulations show that the method helps to recover almost all of physical failures by finding the substitute nodes and paths,and its performance is very close to that of pure VNE method without considering physical failures.
Network virtualization is a promising way to overcome the current ossification of the Internet .It is essential challenge to find effective, efficient and robust embedding algorithms for recovering virtual network. Virtual network mapping algorithm based on integer programming which was suggested months ago.But it did consider the faults of physical network resources, which is so called called survivable virtual network embedding (VNE) problem.Previous strategies for enabling survivability in network virtualization focused on providing protection for the physical network or enhancing the virtual networks by providing backup physical resources in advance , and treated all the physical failures as link failures. In the article, a dynamic recovery method is proposed to solve the survivable virtual network embedding problem based on the integer programming VNE algorithm. dynamic recovery method does not need to backup physical resources and it makes more substrate resources which can be used in the embedding.The dynamic recovery process will be activated only when physical failures occur. Different algorithms are used to recovery node and link failures.Simulations show that the method helps to recover almost all of physical failures by finding the substitute nodes and paths, and its performance is very close to that of pure VNE method without considering physical failures.
