Implementation of Network Function Virtualisation (nfv) resource management for low network latency

Abstract

The evolution of network technologies demands more flexible, efficient, and scalable solutions. Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) addresses this need by hardware-based network functions, allowing them to function as software on standard computing infrastructure. As this study focuses on NFV resource management strategies to minimize network latency, a crucial performance metric. It develops a comprehensive NFV resource management framework, incorporating dynamic resource allocation, load balancing, and real-time optimization. Key contributions include machine learning models for predictive resource provisioning, and a scalable monitoring system for real-time performance metrics. Simulations and real-world testing show that our proposed solutions can reduce network latency compared to traditional methods. These findings demonstrate the potential of advanced NFV resource management strategies to improve network performance and efficiency, leading to more responsive and resilient infrastructures. This work provides practical insights and tools for network engineers and operators aiming to optimize their systems for low-latency performance, paving the way for agile, high-performing network environments that meet the demands of modern applications.
