Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for coordinating a plurality of networks based on network function virtualization (NFV). This includes controlling, by a first network function virtualization based communication network (NFV-based network), a resource provided by a second NFV-based network, comprising: communicating a request for a resource control, the request being transmitted by the first NFV-based network to the second NFV-based network; communicating an authorization for the request for the resource control, the authorization being received by the first NFV-based network from the second NFV-based network; and communicating a control instruction associated with the resource, the control instruction being associated with the authorization, and the control instruction being transmitted by the first NFV-based network to the second NFV-based network.
