Efficient Traffic Engineering in an NFV Enabled IoT System.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly creating new market possibilities in several industries' sectors such as smart homes, smart manufacturing, and smart cities, to link the digital and physical worlds. A key challenge in an IoT system is to ensure network performance and cost-efficiency when a plethora of data is generated and proliferated. The adoption of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technologies within an IoT environment enables a new approach of providing services in a more agile and cost-efficient way.
