CERLA-SFC: hierarchical orchestration of cost-efficient, reliable and low-latency SFCs in multi-access edge computing

· 0 citations · 3 references

TL;DR

CERLA-SFC is introduced, a hierarchical, multi-objective orchestrator that unifies learning-based placement, topology-aware routing and event-driven resource allocation in a single control loop that maintains near-zero latency violations across all urgency classes while keeping end-to-end delay in the millisecond range.

Hierarchical Scheduler with Adaptive Time-Budget Reallocation for Time-Triggered Edge-Fog-Cloud Architectures

The lack of determinism restricts the integration of safety-critical applications into Edge–Fog–Cloud (EFC) architectures. Existing EFC schedulers are typically designed for dynamic, best-effort operation based on unmanaged resource allocation and elastic virtualization. This paradigm introduces unbounded queueing, res...

UDP-Based Virtual Network Slicing Simulator with Resource Borrowing and Jain Fairness Evaluation

Network slicing is a key enabling technology for fifth-generation (5G) and beyond mobile networks, which enables operators to run multiple logical networks on top of common physical infrastructure while meeting heterogeneous quality-ofservice (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we summarize the design, implementation, a...

IsoBFT: A Novel Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Consensus Algorithm for Ultra-Low-Latency Decentralized Networks in Critical Infrastructure and Industrial IoT

A hybrid consensus algorithm called IsoBFT (Isochronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance), which combines an optimistic single-round-trip fast path with a PBFT-style fallback mechanism based on a network-stability monitor, and elects a small rotating committee using a verifiable random function (VRF).
