  • Systems and methods to improve the performance of a network by more efficient virtual network resource allocation
    Patent number: 10749944
    Abstract: A system and method for defragmentation of a VNF deployment in a virtual resource pool including implementing a VNF demand in an available VNF capacity, incorporating the implementation of the VNF demand in the deployed VNF capacity, obtaining improvement parameter data from the deployed VNF capacity, providing the improvement parameter data to a deployment improvement application; and redeploying the implementation of the VNF demand into the groomed VNF capacity, wherein the groomed VNF capacity comprises VNF capacity that improves network resource allocation.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF A NETWORK BY MORE EFFICIENT VIRTUAL NETWORK RESOURCE ALLOCATION
    Publication number: 20190141122
    Abstract: A system and method for improving the performance of a network by more efficient virtual network resource allocation includes identifying VNF functionality implemented across a set of virtual resources in a network and determining an allocation parameter associated with the efficiency of the VNF functionality and the set of virtual resources. The VNF functionality is reallocated in a subset of the set of virtual resources based on the allocation parameter.
