Abstract
Example methods and systems for managing interconnection of virtual network functions are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include, in response to a trigger event indicating detection of an interface, obtaining a virtual network domain template corresponding to a virtual network domain to be configured, the virtual network domain template identifying one or more virtual network functions and one or more interfaces, at least some of the virtual network functions being connected together through one or more links. Disclosed example methods further include configuring and provisioning the virtual network domain to contain the interface using the virtual network domain template and properties of the interface to enable the interface to send information in the virtual network domain.
