Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Network functions virtualization (NFV) can speedily and flexibly deploy network services by replacing traditional network appliances with generic hardware and virtual network functions (VNFs). A certain network service can be interpreted as a sequence of VNFs, i.e., service (function) chain. The service chaining problem aims at finding an appropriate service path from the origin to the destination while executing the VNFs at the intermediate nodes in the required order under the resource constraint. In our previous work, focusing on the similarity between the service chaining problem and the shortest path tour problem (SPTP), we formulated the service chaining problem as the capacitated SPTP (CSPTP) based ILP, where CSPTP is an extended version of the SPTP with the node and link capacity constraints. In this paper, to address both computational complexity and optimality of resource allocation, we propose an efficient algorithm for online service chaining by combining the Lagrangian relaxation for the CSPTP-based ILP and the existing SPTP algorithm. Through simulation results, we show the fundamental characteristics of the proposed algorithm in terms of the optimality of resource allocation and the computational complexity.
