With the rapid development and application of technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing, data is showing explosive growth. In order to address the rising energy consumption due to the increasing number of devices in the traditional network architecture, software-defined networking and network function virtualization have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning model based on actor-critic architecture. The service function chain deployment problem is mathematically modeled, and minimizing the total service function chain delay is taken as the optimization objective. The experimental results demonstrate that the service function chain deployment algorithm proposed in this paper is improved in terms of total system latency.
