Abstract

Internet access is crucial to the human society as a platform for several services to the users. Despite this importance, the Internet suffers limitations that compromise Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. Thus, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) need to evolve, adding new technologies and management strategies to their infrastructure. A promising approach is the slicing of network resources among clients and delivered services, where reliability and elastic resource demand through the day are key issues. Within this context, this paper presents an algorithm called Reliable Reuse Encourage (R-REENC), which defines network slices based on bandwidth requirements and the desired reliability for the clients. The results suggest that the proposed algorithm allocates more suitable slices than other existing approaches. (AU)
