Abstract

A method implemented in a network for placing services at network devices is disclosed. The network contains a plurality of network devices and offers a set of services to subscribers. Subsets of the set of services are included in ordered service chains for subscribers. The method starts with determining a list of bandwidth consumption entities of a service for each service within the set of services, where each bandwidth consumption entity is based on one or more chains of services. Then a weight of each service is calculated based on the list of bandwidth consumption entities of the service and a service with a highest weight within the group of one or more services that have not been placed is selected. The selected service is then placed at a network device based at least partially on calculating bandwidth impacts to the network by the service.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate to the field of networking. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for bandwidth-aware service placement for service chains in a network. Background technique [0002] Operators use different middlebox services or applications, called inline services, such as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), Logging / Metering / Billing / Prepaid, Firewall (FW), Virus Scanning (VS), Intrusion Detection Detection and Defense (IDP), Network Address Translation (NAT), etc. to manage subscriber traffic. These services have high requirements on throughput and packet inspection capabilities. They can be transparent or non-transparent to the end user. Inline services can be hosted on dedicated physical hardware, or in virtual machines. [0003] Service chaining is required if the business needs to pass through more than one inline service. Furthermore, if more than one service chain is possible, the operat...
