Abstract
Certain embodiments relate to a method for assigning, by a resource orchestration entity, resources for a service carried out on a data packet flow in a multilayer network, the method comprising determining software requirements and network requirements necessary for the service wherein the software requirements and network requirements are received by the network resource orchestration entity from an upper layer through a northbound interface; determining a virtual network topology of the network with at least one virtual network entity, the virtual network entity comprising entity computing resources and entity network resources; and assigning the software requirements and the network requirements at least partially to the entity computing resources and the entity network resources.
