Abstract
A method for providing support for elasticity in network virtualisation of a heterogeneous, multi-domain network comprising receiving (802) from network domains information about elasticity capability of physical paths in said network domains; summarising (804) physical paths in said network domains into virtual links; and producing (806) a topology of a virtual network overlaying the multi-domain network by associating elasticity parameters with the virtual links, wherein the elasticity parameters are inferred from the physical paths.
