Abstract:
A system and method for improving the performance of a network by more efficient virtual network resource allocation includes identifying VNF functionality implemented across a set of virtual resources in a network and determining an allocation parameter associated with the efficiency of the VNF functionality and the set of virtual resources. The VNF functionality is reallocated in a subset of the set of virtual resources based on the allocation parameter.
