Multi-Domain Orchestration for the Deployment and Management of Services on a Slice Enabled NFVI

This paper presents a unique and new scenario services are deployed across distributed domains, and domain MANO (for VNF Management and Orchestration) and creates an on-demand Data Center slice to run service elements. Whilst each domain has its own MANO, MANOs are configured in a north-south way creating a of service provision capabilities, rather than configured the more common peer-to-peer approach. This approach works well where each domain, from the mobile edge, to the DC, can be managed independently of the others, but needs be combined to form slices. End-to-end slices across the whole provide a more effective resource management and better support the customers’ mobility requirements. The of the architecture to support this scenario are described.
