AI Technical Summary
Existing network architectures face bottlenecks in scalability, deployment costs, and operational efficiency due to the exponential increase in bandwidth demand driven by video and IoT applications, necessitating improved hardware performance and orchestration in network function virtualization (NFV) frameworks.
A cloud infrastructure with a first server architecture for high-performance network functions and a second server architecture for non-throughput-dependent functions, coupled via a tunnel connection to jointly service packet flows, utilizing a hierarchical quality of service (HQoS) and resource orchestration to optimize network function processing.
Enhances scalability and reduces complexity by decoupling hardware and software layers, allowing efficient deployment and management of virtual network functions (VNFs) without overcomplicating the physical layer, thus improving performance and reducing scaling costs.
