Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for facilitating efficient assignment of networked resources. In one embodiment, a resource assignment method is utilized to assist network resource assignment operations. The resource assignment method establishes a resource model, acquires an application model, and utilizes a mapping process to map said application model onto said resource model. In one exemplary implementation the resources are assigned to optimize the assignment of resources with respect to application requirements and desired objectives (e.g., minimization of the average communication delay inside a service core). In one exemplary implementation, a mapping process of a resource assignment method is utilized to map an application onto part of IDC topology.
