A method and a system including a data plane service implementation (DPSI) platform operably accessible via application programming interfaces (APIs), implement packet processing network functions as a service. The APIs allow creation, customization, and configuration of network service-supporting application logics (ALs) and network service packages. The DPSI platform creates a packet processing primitive (PPP) by applying a use-case-specific primitive specification to a corresponding primitive template retrieved from a repository, and stores the PPP in a repository. Each PPP instance is implemented as an independent, self-contained, functional part of a whole data plane packet processing network function. The DPSI platform creates an AL based on a use-case-specific AL specification using one or more PPPs corresponding to the use-case-specific AL specification, and stores the AL in another repository. The DPSI platform creates and stores a network service package including one or more ALs corresponding to a use-case-specific service specification in another repository.
