Abstract: A device may receive a set of design parameters for a network service. The set of design parameters may include information that identifies one or more network functions associated with the network service. The device may determine attribute information associated with a plurality of virtual network functions (VNFs). A VNF, of the plurality of VNFs, may be configurable to perform at least one network function of the one or more network functions. The device may generate a network service design, associated with providing the network service, based on the set of design parameters and the attribute information. The network service design may include information identifying one or more VNFs, of the plurality of VNFs, that are capable of providing the network service in accordance with the set of design parameters. The device may provide information associated with the network service design.
