Abstract: Existing survivable virtual network embedding algorithms cannot apply to software defined network (SDN) directly, and most of them only use active protection strategy by augmenting virtual networks, which leads to poor performance. For the problems above, a survivable virtual network embedding algorithm based on residual network resources is proposed for scalable backup virtual resources in SDN. It provides backup resources only for nodes and links that satisfy the backup constraints in the augmented virtual networks, and combines the remaining network resources with backup resources to complete failure recovery. Simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the acceptance rate of virtual network requests and the success rate of failure recovery under the premise of high revenue/cost ratio.
