1 Introduction The network virtualization has attached lots of attention from researchers. Most of the prior studies aim at designing embedding solutions for the VN requests to maximize the revenue for infrastructure providers (InPs) while rarely focusing on the energy costs, which is a vital component. Several proposed energy saving methods focus on the energy optimization when the VN requests arrive. However, since the VN requests arrive and depart dynamically and therefore the resource of physical network changes, this optimization needs to be re-optimized. Figure 1 illustrates this context.
