What is MuSC: A multi-stage service chains embedding approach about?

Network function virtualization is an emerging concept that is attracting increasing attention in the industry because it offers high levels of agility and flexibility to the network allowing easier software updates, resource adjustment and scalable changes in the configuration of the services. Network functions traditionally delivered on hardware and purpose-built platforms in legacy networks can now be provided through shared virtual resources called VNFs (Virtual network functions) hosted over shared physical network infrastructures. Using network functions as absolute software components would certainly improve the deployment process and the management of the VNF life cycle. Since VNFs are hardware-independent, there is no need to check whether or not a network function is compatible with the rest of the network's physical parts; this also helps reduce the maintenance costs, which can increase drastically in the case of major upgrades to the network infrastructure. Along with all these benefits, shifting to virtual-based networks comes with a significant number of challenges, especially in terms of placing such virtual components, ensuring their interoperability and maintaining
