Virtual Middle Box Management System, Virtual Middle Box Management Method, and Virtual Middle Box Management Program

摘要

The virtual middlebox management system 10 includes a virtual middlebox model generation unit 11 that generates a performance model of a virtual middlebox abstracting the correlation between the number of functional rules of the virtual middlebox, the virtual resource amount, the input state, and the performance. The virtual middle box management system 10 may include virtual middle box chain deriving means for generating a virtual machine allocation plan to the virtual middle box in accordance with the characteristics of the virtual middle box. The virtual middlebox chain deriving means may generate a virtual middlebox chain instance minimizing the total resource allocation amount with the communication network function requirement and the performance requirement as input.
