    摘要: This application provides a method for managing a service in an NFV architecture, and an apparatus. The method includes: generating, by a first network element after receiving a network function virtualization NFV resource change notification sent by a virtualized infrastructure manager VIM, first constraint information used to modify NFVI software and/or hardware; and sending, by the first network element, a first notification message to the VIM, where the first notification message carries the first constraint information, and the first constraint information is used by the VIM to modify NFVI software and/or hardware based on the first constraint information. In embodiments of this application, when an NFV resource is to change, the first network element sends, to the VIM, constraint information used to modify NFVI software and/or hardware, to avoid a problem that a service is affected because the VIM directly migrates the service, ensure normal running of the service, and improve user experience.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for managing a network. In one example, a device configuration manager is configured to generate, in accordance with a device management protocol, a configuration change request representing a transaction having a first sub-transaction specifying a first configuration change for a network device of the network and a second sub-transaction specifying a second configuration change for the same network device. The device configuration manager is further configured to output the configuration change request to the network device and receive a reply message from the network device. The reply message includes a first response element specifying whether the first configuration change is successfully committed at the network device and a second response element specifying whether the second configuration change is successfully committed at the network device.
