Abstract
A method for orchestrating resources in a multi-access edge computing (MEC) network is applied in and by an apparatus. The MEC network comprises at least one control node, substrate nodes and substrate links managed by the at least one control node. The apparatus receives a virtual network request and calculates whether a proper virtual network embedding solution for the virtual network request exists. If so, the apparatus hands the solution over to the at least one control node for implementation.
