Abstract
The disclosed systems and methods are directed to a computer-implemented method for use in designing a service. In at least one embodiment, a method includes designing a service with one or more generic virtual network functions (VNFs), where the generic VNFs are defined independent of vendor sourcing information. One or more trained machine learning (ML) models are used to identify VNFs available from VNF vendors that may source one or more VNFs similar to the generic VNFs. The service is implemented using VNFs provided by one or more VNF vendors, where the VNFs provided by the one or more VNF vendors have network functionality generating similar to the one or generic VNFs.
