    摘要: A method for monitoring network conditions by receiving a first condition definition describing a first network condition to be monitored in a network and an activation definition, determining a network topology of the network, and compiling the first condition definition to generate a first data plane component, a first control plane component, and an activation component. The method also includes deploying the first data plane component into a data plane of the network, where the data plane component captures and synthesizes a first stream of network events to generate a first modified stream of network events. The method also includes deploying the control plane component into a network operating system for the network. The control plane component receives and correlates the first modified stream of network events. The method also includes deploying an activation component that, upon receiving the correlated stream of events, initiates the activation definition.

    摘要: For a multi-tenant environment, some embodiments of the invention provide a novel method for forwarding tenant traffic through a set of service machines to perform a set of service operations on the tenant traffic. In some embodiments, the method performs a classification operation on a data message flow of a tenant, in order to identify a set of service operations to perform on the data message flow. For some data message flows, the classification operation selects the identified set of service operations from several candidate sets of service operations that are viable service operation sets for similar data message flows of the tenant. In some embodiments, the classification operation is based on a set of attributes associated with the data message flow (e.g., five tuple identifier, i.e., protocol and source and destination ports and IP addresses).

    摘要: Example methods and systems for managing interconnection of virtual network functions are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include, in response to a trigger event indicating detection of an interface, obtaining a virtual network domain template corresponding to a virtual network domain to be configured, the virtual network domain template identifying one or more virtual network functions and one or more interfaces, at least some of the virtual network functions being connected together through one or more links. Disclosed example methods further include configuring and provisioning the virtual network domain to contain the interface using the virtual network domain template and properties of the interface to enable the interface to send information in the virtual network domain.
