Abstract: Network virtualization based on SDN has gained attention in cloud networking. However, existing studies have not provided any failover technique in the event of physical link failure. We propose FAVE, which provides seamless failover and bandwidth-aware protection. FAVE carefully allocates backup routes to handle both failure and interference between tenants. Evaluation shows that FAVE is effective. To our knowledge, FAVE is the first attempt to address failover in virtualized SDN environments.
