The proposed model for virtual function placement tackles a challenging problem by leveraging ideas from multi-armed bandits. The authors develop novel algorithms that quickly learn an optimal placement policy, with regret bounded by O(NM√TlnT) while respecting feasibility constraints with high probability. Numerical experiments demonstrate the practical performance and modest computational complexity of these algorithms, which can be accelerated for large networks with limited computational power.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper explores a method for placing virtual functions in a way that’s efficient and effective. The researchers come up with new ways to solve this problem using ideas from “multi-armed bandits.” They show that their methods quickly learn the best solution and don’t use too much computing power. They also test these methods on real networks and find that they work well.
