    Abstract: There is described a method for operating a proxy in a network function virtualization (NFV) system. The NFV system comprises a virtualized network function (VNF) manager for managing a VNF, a virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM) for managing a resource, and a NFV orchestrator. The method comprises: receiving a resource allocation request for the VIM from the VNF manager; sending the resource allocation request to a component of the VIM; receiving a response to the resource allocation request from the component of the VIM; and sending the response to the NFV orchestrator.

    Abstract: There is described a method for mapping data representing an instance of a service model for a network onto policy information for controlling one or more Software Defined Network (SDN) switches in the network. The instance of a service model comprises a topology of one or more network functions and at least one virtual network function and a data flow through the topology, and the at least one virtual network function defines a dynamic flow control policy in dependence upon which data flow through the virtual network function to or from one or more of the network functions is selectively controlled. The policy information is provided to one or more SDN control entities for controlling the one or more SDN switches in the network so that data flows through the network in accordance with the service model instance.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a set of path information may be retrieved from an inventory mechanism based on a service. A set of configuration information may be received from the inventory mechanism based on a network element. The network element status may be identified based on the set of configuration information.
