“…The energy consumption of routing and the cost of the network are also critical factors. Nowadays, a large number of works have studied the VNF layout and routing problem with different objectives, such as minimizing the total deployment cost [21], [22], [23], minimizing network resources [22], and maximizing reliability [25], [26], [27], [28], etc., but none of these research works consider these properties well together. However, in this paper, by dividing the SFC orchestration problem into two sub-problems, then the MRU-VNF algorithm proposed in this paper solves the above problem very well.…”
