Abstract:
Various systems and methods for distributing orchestration of network services using blockchain technology are disclosed. A bid is posted for orchestration of a network service to be delivered using NFV using a DSFC contract blockchain. The device, DSFC contract and initiator of a request for the network service are identified using a self-sovereign identity blockchain. The device determines it is to orchestrate the network service based on the DSFC contract blockchain and identifies at least one entity to provide the network service from a DWH contract blockchain that contains DWH contract bids of entities for the network service. The entities and DWH contract are identified using the self-sovereign identity blockchain. The device ensures that the DWH contract is being executed by the at least one entity according to the DWH contract and provides remuneration after fulfillment.
