Title: Snapshot for Network Slicing and Service Anomaly Detection in 5G Networks

Abstract:

Network Slices combine virtualization of resources with levels of isolation required for services in 5G Networks. Furthermore, the advance of SDN and NFV makes various service scenarios feasible in the 5G Networks.

In this talk, we propose a snapshot system for checking error and creating snapshots on 5G network slicing system. Functions of fault detection, adaptive backup, and recovery modules are investigated. In case of faults, the administrator could restore system configurationfrom the nearest available snapshot.

We also adopt the container technology, Docker, to provide more agile service provisioning than virtual machines. Services can be formed by service function chaining (SFC) consisting of containerized VNFs. In order to examine SFC integrity in the 5G network environment, we propose a framework to integrate NFV management and orchestration. The core of this framework is the anomaly detection mechanism for SFC integrity. The learning algorithm of our mechanism is based on extreme learning machine. In this talk, the performance avaluation of the work is presented.
