Abstract
Provided are apparatuses and methods for identifying network slices in a transport network. In an embodiment, the apparatus is configured to receive a slice creation request to create a network slice. The slice creation request includes a global identifier corresponding to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to search a transport slice mapping database for the global identifier. The apparatus is further configured to generate a transport slice identifier corresponding to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to add a mapping entry to the transport slice mapping database mapping the global identifier to the transport slice identifier. The apparatus is further configured to add another mapping entry to a transport slice path mapping database mapping the transport slice identifier to a network path assigned to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to publish the mapping entries to a performance monitoring system.
