Abstract
A reliable network function virtualization (rVNF) system includes a virtualized network function (VNF) application instance that includes a plurality of physical VNF instances. A load balancer provides an interface between a client and the VNF application instance. A load balancer interface facilitates delivery of packets related to a particular user context to the same physical VNF instance. A communication interface facilitates communication between the client and the VNF application instance. Application storage stores session data associated with the VNF application instance.
