Abstract: In the fifth generation of mobile communications system (5G), the deployment of service function chaining(SFC) is a critical issue over network function virtualization scenario. A model of SFC deployment forquality of service (QoS) requirements is proposed to solve the problem that the existing methods cannot achieve the optimization of end-to-end delay and reliability of SFC deployment simultaneously. A dynamic deployment algorithm for SFC with QoS guarantee is designed. The method evaluates the nodes based on the approach of PageRank through the perception of network topology and reliability, on the principles of load balancing and coordination with link mapping, the virtual network function(VNF) is mapped onto the substrate node with the highest comprehensive resource capacity which realzes the global optimization of delay and reliability in the VNF mapping phase. The shortest path of delay that meets the reliability requirements is selected for link mapping. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the end-to-end delay and ensure the reliability of SFC, as well as improve the request acceptance rate and resource utilization.
