Abstract
Disclosed is a technique for communicating message objects from a first process to a second process in transport node of a virtualized network, the message objects specifying a change to status of a virtualized network object in the virtualized network. In technique, message objects are separated from operation objects, which have fields corresponding to the fields of the message objects, a field of the operations object being capable of specifying a change to or a status of a field of the message object to which it corresponds. Yet another object combines a message object and an operation object so that the protocol for communication between the first and second process is the same regardless of the contents of the actual message.
