Technique for resolving a link failure

Abstract:

A technique for resolving a link failure occurring on a link between a first virtualized network function, VNF, and a second VNF provided in a cloud computing environment is disclosed. A method implementation of the technique is performed by the first VNF and comprises receiving a link failure notification comprising link recovery status information indicating a current recovery status of the link, and triggering an action depending on the link recovery status information to resolve the link failure.
