Demonstration of Latency-Aware and Self-Adaptive Service Chaining in 5G/SDN/NFV infrastructures

This paper will demonstrate an orchestration system for 5G infrastructure supporting latency-minimized and self-adaptive service chaining over geographically distributed edge clouds interconnected through SDN. The demo will show an orchestration system that comprises dynamic virtual function selection and intent-based traffic steering control functionalities to provide optimized service chains in terms of end-to-end latency and adjustable with respect to the context (e.g., service dynamics, network status).
