Improving the Safety, Scalability, and Efficiency of Network Function State Transfers

摘要: Several frameworks have been proposed to orchestrate the transfer of internal state between network function (NF) instances. Unfortunately, these suffer from safety, efficiency, and scalability problems due their excessive use packet buffering. We propose two novel enhancements, reprocessing peer-to-peer transfers, address issues. show enhancements reduce average per-packet latency overhead by up 92% times 70%.
