Research on incremental deployment mechanism of network modality for polymorphic network environment by Jiong LI, Yuxiang HU, Pengshuai CUI, Le TIAN, Yongji DONG

“…Polymorphic networks support diverse network requirements and can coexist, evolve, and change on a unified physical or logical infrastructure in the form of network modality.They can maximize the innovation vitality of network technology driven by new applications.The evolution and development of modality require the incremental deployment of modality to meet the needs of convenience and privacy protection in the multi-user deployment process.However, the deployment of current network functions still uses the one-by-one deployment method, resulting in high complexity of the deployment of new modality, and mutual exposure of processing logic between different users.To address these issues, an incremental deployment mechanism for polymorphic network environments was proposed.Firstly, an incremental deployment mechanism for network modality was designed.Then, the incremental deployment of modality was abstracted as a graph merging problem based on this mechanism, and an adjacency list-based merge parsing graph algorithm was designed.The simulation results indicate that the proposed mechanism can achieve fast and correct merging of network modality, support incremental modality deployment, and greatly reduce the application deployment and service provision threshold of new network systems.…”
