Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method includes receiving, from a graphical user interface, an indication that a user has purchased licenses associated with a CNF. The method further includes sending, to a second computing system of a CNF, first instructions regarding the licenses purchased by the user. The method further includes receiving an indication that the user wishes to deploy a particular router in the CNF with a particular data connection and retrieving, from the second computing system of the CNF, a list of licenses previously purchased by the user. The method further includes automatically determining, from the list of licenses, appropriate licenses for the particular router that the user wishes to deploy in the CNF. The method further includes sending second instructions that are operable to deploy the particular router in the CNF with the particular data connection and apply the determined licenses to the deployed particular router.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing throughput assurance in a virtual service chain. A virtual service chain formed by a plurality of stitched virtualized network functions running on a plurality of virtual nodes can be monitored. An inline statistics agent can generate inline statistics of the operation of the virtual service chain. Further, an actual throughput of the virtual service chain can be identified from the inline statistics. As follows, throughput assurance for the virtual service chain can be provided by comparing the actual throughput of the virtual service chain with an expected throughput of the virtual service chain.

Abstract: A process can include determining affinity information indicative of route preferences between branch routers and gateway routers. A prefix can be determined for a subnet of branch routers located at a same branch location. An affinity position of a first gateway router can be determined based on affinity information of the branch routers in the subnet. A mapping can be determined between a local preference Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) community attribute and the affinity position of the first gateway router, wherein a mapped local preference BGP community attribute and the affinity position are indicative of a same routing preference. The mapped local preference BGP community attribute can be attached to routes from the first gateway router into a cloud service provider. Affinity-based route preferences are indicated to the cloud service provider by redistributing the routes from the first gateway router with the mapped local preference BGP community attribute attached.
