  • Patent number: 11899628
    Abstract: A method of performing a virtual network function. The method comprises forking a user plane process on a computer by a virtual network function process that executes on the computer, forking a control plane process on the computer by the virtual network function process, adding blocks to a user plane blockchain by the user plane process that record user plane events, adding blocks to a control plane blockchain by the control plane process that record control plane events, creating a first package of information by the user plane process based on the user plane blockchain, self-terminating by the user plane process while passing the first package of information to the virtual network function process, creating a second package of information by the control plane process based on the control plane blockchain, self-terminating by the control plane process while passing the second package of information to the virtual network function process.
