Abstract
Systems and methods for triggering service activation include starting a vCPE instance in response to a request for a service, instantiating a service container for the requested service and starting the service in the service container, installing a fast path entry for the service container in a local bridge table, detecting an idle timeout of the service and labeling the local bridge table entry for the corresponding service container as inactive, notifying a cloud services manager that the service container is inactive, and removing the service container.
