NETWORK DEPTH LIMITED NETWORK FOLLOWED BY COMPUTE LOAD BALANCING PROCEDURE FOR EMBEDDING CLOUD SERVICES IN SOFTWARE-DEFINED FLEXIBLE-GRID OPTICAL TRANSPORT NETWORKS

摘要

A Network Depth Limited Network Followed by Compute Load Balancing (ND-NCLB) can embed more cloud demands than the existing solutions. The inventive ND-NCLB, partitions the physical network into many sub-networks, and limits the mapping of cloud demands within one of the sub-networks to avoid over provisioning of resources.
