Abstract
Method for managing a network service that is in the process of being executed, the service consisting of a sequence of at least one virtual network function managed by an entity for managing virtual resources. The method includes the following steps implemented by an optimizing entity: receiving a stream signaling and/or characterizing a media from a virtual network function of the sequence, which function is called the 'initial function'; determining, depending on the stream and a predefined management rule associated with the stream, whether or not the initial function has a sufficient capacity to stably execute the service; sending, to the entity for managing virtual resources, an update command comprising at least one action updating the sequence, the initial function being, after execution of the command, replaced or complemented in the sequence by at least one new virtual network function able to stably execute the network service.
