“…As a result, traffic isolation and security isolation, which are two essential features in network slicing, are granted via the integrated OSM-WireGuard framework. [67]. This testbed (Figure 21) investigates E2E network slicing lifecycle management (modeling, onboarding, instantiation, and operation) by integrating ONAP service orchestrator with a network slice manager entity.…”

“…(ii) The second category encompasses the implementations which satisfy all of the primary and the majority of secondary attributes from the design criteria explained in Section 3. The testbeds such as those in [43,48,49,52,53,59,64,67] deliver E2E network slicing with MANO privilege in their architectures along with multi-tenancy and multi-RAT support.…”

Developing specialized cloud-based and open-source testbeds is a practical approach to investigate network slicing functionalities in the fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. This paper provides a comprehensive review of most of the existing cost-efficient and small-scale testbeds that partially or fully deploy network slicing. First, we present relevant software packages for the three main functional blocks of the ETSI NFV MANO framework and for emulating the access and core network domains. Second, we define primary and secondary design criteria for deploying network slicing testbeds. These design criteria are later used for comparison between the testbeds. Third, we present the state-of-the-art testbeds, including their design objectives, key technologies, network slicing deployment, and experiments. Next, we evaluate the testbeds according to the defined design criteria and present an in-depth summary table. This assessment concludes with the superiority of some of them over the rest and the most dominant software packages satisfying the ETSI NFV MANO framework. Finally, challenges, potential solutions, and future works of network slicing testbeds are discussed.

Network slicing in 5G is a solution to accommodate a wide range of services. It also enables the network operators to establish multiple end-to-end (e2e) logically isolated and customized networks with shared or dedicated resources over the same infrastructure. Although, many tools and platforms have been developed to accomplish the management and orchestration (MANO) of e2e network slicing automatically, it is still challenging. Each of these platforms requires expertise and manual effort to define the requirements for the provisioning of the resources. The other issue is the generation of well-defined network slice configurations with lifecycle parameters. To this end, this paper proposes an efficient solution that automates the configuration process and performs the management and orchestration of network slices. This solution contains a one-touch Intent-based Networking (IBN) platform that effectively orchestrates and manages the lifecycle of multi-domain slice resources. IBN automates the process of slice configuration generation, service provisioning, service update, and service assurance by eliminating experts and manual effort. Furthermore, it has an intelligent Deep Learning (DL) based resource update and assurance mechanism which handles the run-time resource scalability and assurance.
