Virtual Network Functions Chains placement optimization taking into account Resource Fragmentation and Defragmentation in the Cloud.

This project implements a system for optimizing the placement of virtual network functions (VNFs) chains in the cloud, taking into account resource fragmentation and defragmentation. The system aims to minimize the resource fragmentation and improve the utilization of cloud resources by placing VNF chains in an optimized way.
