Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for generating an orchestration data tree utilizing a Network Function Virtualization Orchestrator (NFV-O) data model. In use, an NFV-O data model is identified, the NFV-O data model being associated with an NFV-O module corresponding to a communication network. Additionally, an orchestration data tree template is generated utilizing the NFV-O data model, the orchestration data tree being utilized to support orchestration of a plurality of services associated with the communication network, and the orchestration data tree template capable of including: a plurality of nodes, each of the nodes representing one of the plurality of services associated with the communication network; a plurality of node relations, each of the plurality of node relations representing a relation of a parent node and a sub-node; a plurality of links, each of the plurality of links defining a relationship between two of the plurality of nodes; and a plurality of connectors, each of the plurality of connectors being associated with one of the plurality of nodes and functioning to connect to one of the plurality of links.
