Abstract
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a system, method, and computer program product for recovering a structure of network function virtualization orchestration (NFV-O) domains, including: providing an initial structure of NFV-O domains, the initial structure representing assignment of network resources to the domains; providing a current structure of NFV-O domains, the current structure representing a modification of the initial structure due to reassignment of network resources between the domains; identifying at least one network resource reassigned by at least a first domain to at least a second domain; and instructing the at least second domain to surrender the network resource to the at least first domain; wherein the at least one network resource is a part of a communication network using network function virtualization (NFV-based network) orchestration; and wherein the NFV-based network comprises a plurality of network resources assigned to domains managed by respective NFV-O modules.
