TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a reference architecture for the cloud-network slicing concept and the practical realization of the slice-as-a-service paradigm, which are key results from the Novel Enablers in Cloud Slicing (NECOS) project.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the main topological stability and scalability‐related issues in IEEE 802.11s‐based networks and the most relevant proposed solutions are surveyed, where both the drawbacks and the merits of each proposal are highlighted.

TL;DR: This paper presents the DHT-based Cluster Routing Protocol (DCRP), a routing protocol based on DHTs, clustering of nodes and use of proxies that allows to improve the overall network performance by reducing the time required for path selection and the number of communication hops in large sized networks.

TL;DR: The elaSticity in cLOud‐neTwork Slices (SLOTS) is introduced which aims to extend the horizontal elasticity control to multi‐providers scenarios in an end‐to‐end fashion, as well as to provide a novel vertical elasticity mechanism to deal with critical insufficiency of resources by harvesting underused resources on other slices.

TL;DR: This work proposes a new routing protocol, the DHT-based Cluster Routing Protocol (DCRP), that improves the scalability of 802.11s networks and is based on two mechanisms: clustering of nodes and D HT-based searching.
