Abstract
A sender device can determine that data associated with an application is to be sent to a service via a network. The sender device can generate resource queries directed to at least two participant devices and receive responses indicating whether each of the participant devices has a resource available to host a virtual network function ('VNF'). The sender device can generate commands directed to security interface applications executed by the participant devices. The commands can instruct the participant devices to instantiate the VNFs. The sender device can partition the data into data partitions directed to the participant devices. The sender device can send the data partitions to the VNFs of the participant devices. The VNFs can forward the data partitions to a network access device that can combine the data partitions and send the data to the service via the network.
