Endpoint selection for placement of network slice(s) in a 5g network

Abstract

Techniques and mechanisms for enabling an end-to-end controller of a network to offload decisions about placement of network slices to the transport controller. By doing so, the transport controller can intelligently determine optimal placement based on intent (e.g., external intent of the end-to-end controller and internal intent of the transport controller), internal transport network analytics functions, SLO/SLE constraints, real-time telemetry data, and more to provide dynamic and optimal placement of network slices. That is the described techniques dynamically utilize information from within the transport domain to define the placement of network slices. Thus, placements are more accurate, thereby reducing latency and improving functioning of the network, as well as providing an improved user experience by meeting SLO/SLE constraints.
