Graph Neural Network based Service Function Chaining for Automatic Network Control
DongNyeong Heo,Stanislav Lange,Hee-Gon Kim,Heeyoul Choi 한국통신학회 2020 한국통신학회 APNOMS Vol.2020 No.09
Software-defined networking (SDN) and the network function virtualization (NFV) led to great developments in software based control technology by decreasing expenditures. Service function chaining (SFC) is an important technology to find efficient paths in network servers to process all of the requested virtualized network functions (VNF). However, SFC is challenging since it has to maintain high Quality of Service (QoS) even for complicated situations. Although some works have been conducted for such tasks with high-level intelligent models like deep neural networks (DNNs), those approaches are not efficient in utilizing the topology information of networks and cannot be applied to networks with dynamically changing topology since their models assume that the topology is fixed. In this paper, we propose a new neural network architecture for SFC, which is based on graph neural network (GNN) considering the graph-structured properties of network topology. The proposed SFC model consists of an encoder and a decoder, where the encoder finds the representation of the network topology, and then the decoder estimates probabilities of neighborhood nodes and their probabilities to process a VNF. In the experiments, our proposed architecture outperformed previous performances of DNN based baseline model. Moreover, the GNN based model can be applied to a new network topology without re-designing and re-training.

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) environment can deal with dynamic changes in traffic status with appropriate deployment and scaling of Virtualized Network Function (VNF). However, determining and applying the optimal VNF deployment in consideration of the cost and Quality of Service (QoS) is a complicated and difficult task. In particular, it is necessary to predict the situation at a future point when the deployment decision is applied because it takes processing time to apply the deployment decision to the actual NFV environment. In this paper, we randomly generate service requests in Multiaccess Edge Computing (MEC) topology, then obtain optimal VNF deployment and Service Function Chaining (SFC) result from an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) solution. We use the simulation data to train a machine learning model which predicts the optimal VNF deployment at a predefined future point. The prediction model shows the accuracy over 90% compared to the ILP solution for the 5-minute future time point.
Graph Neural Network-based Virtual Network Function Management

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) help reduce OPEX and CAPEX as well as increase network flexibility and agility. But at the same time, operators have to cope with the increased complexity of managing virtual networks and machines, which are more dynamic and heterogeneous than before. Since this complexity is paired with strict time requirements for making management decisions, traditional mechanisms that rely on, e.g., Integer Linear Programming (ILP) models are no longer feasible. Machine learning has emerged as a possible solution to address network management problems to get near-optimal solutions in a short time. In this paper, we propose a Graph Neural Network (GNN) based algorithm to manage VNFs. The proposed model solves the complex VNF management problem in a short time and gets near-optimal solutions.
