System and Method for Modifying a Service-Specific Data Plane Configuration
First Claim
1. A method for network adaptation, comprising:
- receiving, by an adaptation coordinator of a virtual network, a performance measurement generated at a performance checkpoint located in the virtual network; and
generating, by the adaptation coordinator, a first update of a service-specific configuration of the virtual network,the first update comprising at least one of a modification of a performance checkpoint configuration, a modification of a virtual network function (VNF) configuration, a modification of a protocol configuration, a modification of a resource allocation input, or a modification of a logical graph, andthe service-specific configuration comprising a configuration of a plurality of logical nodes and a plurality of logical links of the virtual network in accordance with a service-specific data plane logical topology.

Abstract
A method for network adaptation includes receiving, by an adaptation coordinator of a virtual network, a performance measurement generated at a performance checkpoint located in the virtual network. The method also includes generating, by the adaptation coordinator, a first update of a service-specific configuration of the virtual network. The first update includes at least one of a modification of a performance checkpoint configuration, a modification of a Virtual Network Function (VNF) configuration, a modification of a protocol configuration, a modification of a resource allocation input, or a modification of a logical graph. The service-specific configuration includes a configuration of a plurality of logical nodes and a plurality of logical links of the virtual network in accordance with a service-specific data plane logical topology.
