Efficient Deployment of Service Function Chains (SFCs) in a Self-Organizing SDN-NFV Networking Architecture to Support IOT

SDN and NFV provide the underlying cloud-centric operational infrastructure necessary to drive new revenue streams and exploit new market opportunities, such as IoT and M2M. In this paper, we introduce an in-progress a new dynamic fine-grained (two-layer) functions placement and migration mechanism for SDN/NFV-enabled network in IoT/5G infrastructure that considers load balancing and fault tolerance and congestion avoidance while respecting the specific requirements of the IoT application and utilizing the network resources.
