Abstract
Examples provided herein describe a method for managing virtualized network service bundles. For example, a physical processor may implement machine readable instructions to receive a first data packet in a virtual network, determine a first type of the first data packet, determine a first active virtualized network service bundle instance associated with a first virtualized network service bundle that handles the first type of data packet, and direct the first data packet to the first active virtualized network service bundle instance. In some examples, the first virtualized network service bundle may comprise a first set of virtual network functions, and the first virtualized network service bundle may be associated with a set of active virtualized network service bundles instances, where the set of active virtualized network service bundle instances may comprise the first active virtualized network service bundle instance.
