Abstract
Communication networks are undergoing a major transformation through softwarization, which is changing the way networks are designed, operated, and managed. The enhanced programmability enabled by softwarization creates unique opportunities for adapting network function and resources in support of applications and users with diverse requirements. To effectively leverage the flexibility provided by network softwarization and realize its full potential, it is of paramount importance to devise proper mechanisms for allocating resources to different applications and users and for monitoring their usage over time. The overarching goal of this dissertation is to advance state-of-the-art in how resources are allocated and monitored and build the foundation for effective resource management in softwarized networks. Specifically, we address four resource management challenges in all three key enablers of network softwarization. First, we challenge the current practice of realizing network services with monolithic software network functions and propose a microservice-based disaggregated architecture enabling finer-grained resource allocation and scaling. Then, we devise optimal solutions and scalable heuristics for establishing virtual networks with guaranteed bandwidth and guaranteed survivability against failures in multi-layer IP-over-Optical and single-layer IP substrate networks, respectively. Finally, we propose adaptive sampling mechanisms for balancing the overhead of softwarized network monitoring and the accuracy of the network view constructed from monitoring data.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
