Abstract
A network may include multiple allocations. The allocations may include: a first allocation encompassing central infrastructure, such as central office servers, data centers, or other core infrastructure; an second allocation encompassing gateway elements or other central consumer premises network infrastructure; and a third allocation encompassing nodes, such as client devices, terminals, or other nodes. A virtualization management engine may coordinate resources from the various allocations to support virtual functions distributed over multiple allocations of the network. The virtualization management engine may determine the distribution across the allocations for the virtual functions. The virtualization management engine may be implemented as a virtual function and be distributed across the allocations of the network.
