Methods, systems, and computer readable media for multi-layer orchestration in software defined networks (SDNs)
First Claim
1. A method for multi-layer orchestration in a software defined network (SDN), the method comprising:
- at an orchestrator comprising a hardware processor and for optimizing network resources within an SDN;
receiving orchestration related data for implementing a network service using the network resources within the SDN;
determining configuration information for the network resources based on the orchestration related data and protocol layer capability of the network resources, wherein determining the configuration information includes identifying the network resources having the protocol layer capability to provide network services; and
providing the configuration information to the network resources.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for multi-layer orchestration in software defined networks (SDNs) are disclosed. In one example, the method includes receiving orchestration related data for implementing a network service using the network resources within the SDN, determining configuration information for the network resources based on the orchestration related data and protocol layer capability of the network resources, wherein determining the configuration information includes identifying the network resources having the protocol layer capability to provide network services, and providing the configuration information to the network resources.
