Abstract
A method for managing a service function chain (SFC) includes obtaining, by a SFC orchestrator of a first domain, a SFC creation request for a SFC, in response to the SFC creation request: generating a domain participation list of a set of potential domains that may service the SFC creation request, sending a bid request to each of the set of potential domains, receiving bid responses from the set of potential domains, ranking the set of potential domains, sending a SFC placement request to a second domain of the set of potential domains based on the ranking, and obtaining a SFC placement response from the second domain, wherein the SFC placement response specifies success of SFC placement in the second domain.
