NaaS: Network as a Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile phone users have begun to assume existence of fast and reliable network coverage everywhere they travel. However, the real coverage is far from reliable. We show that there are many areas where the coverage is shady and can leave a user with little or no service. To serve need for mobile data even in areas of low coverage, we propose a bold and innovative solution of providing network as a service to important customers. We show that through such service, it is possible to meet the demand of the most data-hungry users allowing a freer channel for all in adjoining areas. We show significant gains in data rates through our solution and discuss various open questions we will be working on further.

NaaS: Network-as-a-Service in the Cloud
Cloud computing realises the vision of utility computing. Tenants can benefit from on-demand provisioning of computational resources according to a pay-per-use model and can outsource hardware purchases and maintenance. Tenants, however, have only limited visibility and control over network resources. Even for simple tasks, tenants must resort to inefficient overlay networks. To address these s...
متن کاملNetwork virtualization for cloud computing
Cloud computing enables a transparent access to information technology (IT) services such that the users do not need to know the location and characteristics of the relevant resources. While IT resource virtualization and service abstraction have been widely investigated, data transport within the cloud and its efficient control have not received much attention in the technical literature. In f...
متن کاملUp in the clouds: A Taxonomical Analysis of Network Management Functionalities from a Network as a Service Perspective
The externalization of network control and maintenance tasks, enabled by the emerging Networking as a Service (NaaS) paradigm, is an appealing opportunity for large Telcos to expand their network management offering to SMEs. In this paper we propose an architecture for network control and management capable of efficiently supporting the NaaS paradigm. Our methodology is based on a set of orthog...
متن کاملNetwork as a Service: The New Vista of Opportunities
The networking industry, compared to the compute industry, has been slow in evolving from a closed ecosystem with limited abstractions to a more open ecosystem with welldefined sophisticated high level abstractions. This has resulted in an ossified Internet architecture that inhibits innovation and is unnecessarily complex. Fortunately, there has been an exciting flux of rapid developments in n...

Software-Defined Network (SDN) is expected to have a significant impact on future networking. Although exciting progress has been made toward realizing SDN, application of this new networking paradigm in the future Internet to support end-to-end QoS provisioning faces some new challenges. The autonomous network domains coexisting in the Internet and the diverse user applications deployed upon t...
