Abstract
Embodiments herein disclose for example a method performed by a controlling network node for handling one or more virtual network functions (VNF) in a communication network. The controlling network node initiates a setup of virtual resources for a VNF, wherein an aggregating connection point (CP), indicates a set of CPs to be connected to a same external virtual link. The controlling network node transmits configuration data to a managing function wherein the configuration data comprises an indication.
