Abstract

A system for providing network function as a service includes a combination of virtual network resources hosted on physical network resources, wherein the virtual network resources are communicatively chained to provide a dynamically configurable set of processing resources and a configurable controller in communication with the combination of virtual network resources, wherein the controller includes a scheduler and load balancer. The controller is configured to receive a request to provide network function as a service functionality, retrieve policies associated with the request, schedule the virtual network resources to be assigned in response to the request, instantiate the virtual network resources and balance the virtual network resources across one or more physical resources.
