Abstract: Embodiments relate to virtualization and have particular application to lifecycle management of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs). Preferred embodiments provide a method for managing VNFs in a communications network that comprises management and orchestration (MANO) entities and a deployment management entity which is functionally separate from the MANO entities. The method comprises, at the deployment management entity: receiving a lifecycle management message relating to a deployment of VNFs; associating the received lifecycle management message with a specific deployment of VNF instances, the specific deployment comprising a set of more than one VNF instances orchestrated by a network function virtualization (NFV) orchestrator and managed by a VNF management entity, both of which are said MANO entities; updating a first VNF instance in the deployment on the basis of the received lifecycle management message; and updating a second VNF instance in the deployment on the basis of the received lifecycle management message.

Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to configuring a call control context in a media gateway. The media gateway has a set of digital signal processors, each having one or more digital signal processor cores. The cores implement digital signal processor channels that are grouped into digital signal processor contexts. When a request to configure a call control context is received, certain examples described herein are configured to assign a set of digital signal processor contexts to process data streams associated with the call control context. In particular, certain examples described herein couple a first digital signal processor context to at least a second digital signal processor context using at least one digital signal processor channel in each of the first and second digital signal processor contexts.

Abstract translation: 本文描述的某些示例涉及在媒体网关中配置呼叫控制上下文。 媒体网关具有一组数字信号处理器,每个具有一个或多个数字信号处理器核心。 内核实现分组为数字信号处理器上下文的数字信号处理器通道。 当接收到配置呼叫控制上下文的请求时,本文描述的某些示例被配置为分配一组数字信号处理器上下文来处理与呼叫控制上下文相关联的数据流。 特别地,本文描述的某些示例使用第一和第二数字信号处理器上下文中的每一个中的至少一个数字信号处理器信道将第一数字信号处理器上下文耦合到至少第二数字信号处理器上下文。
