  • Virtual network function resource allocation and management system
    Patent number: 9954758
    Abstract: A virtualized network function (VNF) provisioning system includes a plurality of computing device that are provided in a physical topology and that are coupled to a network. A management device is coupled to the computing device through the network. The management device receives VNF system information for a VNF system through the network. The VNF system includes a plurality of VNFs that are provided in a virtual topology. The management device then determines a plurality of physical groups from the physical topology that each identify at least one computing device. The management device then determines a plurality of virtual groups from the virtual topology based on a ratio of traffic that will leave each virtual group and a number of VNFs in each virtual group. The management device then provides the VNFs in a first virtual group on the at least one computing device in a first physical group.
