There is provided a network node and method for placement of virtual network functions managers (VNFMs) in a network functions virtualization (NFV) system. The method comprises determining a number of VNFMs for the NFV system, determining a type for each VNFM, determining a placement for each VNFM over distributed Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure Points of Presence (NFVI-PoPs) and determining a plurality of associations between the VNFMs and VNF instances in the system, thereby generating a VNFMs placement solution.

Method for VNF managers placement in large-scale and distributed NFV systems

The disclosure relates to an orchestrator, for a Virtual Network Platform as a Service (VNPaaS), which orchestrates the management of a Network Service (NS). The orchestrator is operative to select an orchestration zone for each of a plurality of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in the NS based on selected deployment locations, where each orchestration zone comprises at least one VNF. The orchestrator is operative to associate sub-services to the selected orchestration zones, the sub-services being obtained from a decomposition of the NS into a number of sub-services equal to a number of orchestration zones selected and each sub-service comprising at least one of the plurality of VNFs. The orchestrator is operative to initiate deployment of the sub-services in the selected orchestration zones.

The invention relates to a method and network node for uploading media content from a user device to at least one network entity. The method comprises the step of associating a code with the at least one network entity, in a network node. The method further comprises the step of sending an address book object from the network node to the user device, said address book object comprising the code and said address book object being usable for sending a multimedia message to the network node from the user device. The method further comprise the step of receiving, in the network node, the multimedia message from the user device, said multimedia message containing the code and the media content. The method further comprise the step of updating, from the network node, the at least one network entity associated with the code with the media content.
