With NFV it is possible to design, deploy, and manage network functions in a fraction of the time it often takes to do the same in non-virtualized settings. NFV improves the flexibility and reduces the time for the development, deployment and management of new functions. In this paper, we propose NFV-FD: a NFV to detect process and link failures. NFV-FD relies on an OpenFlow controller from which information about the network is obtained. With this information NFV-FD keeps track of the state of both processes and links. NFV-FD was implemented and experimental results are reported for the amount of resources required by the virtual function, as well as the quality of the failure detection and notification service.","PeriodicalId":202329,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks Workshops","volume":"12 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129924954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
