Systems and methods to improve the performance of a network by more efficient virtual network resource allocation

Abstract:

A system and method for defragmentation of a VNF deployment in a virtual resource pool including implementing a VNF demand in an available VNF capacity, incorporating the implementation of the VNF demand in the deployed VNF capacity, obtaining improvement parameter data from the deployed VNF capacity, providing the improvement parameter data to a deployment improvement application; and redeploying the implementation of the VNF demand into the groomed VNF capacity, wherein the groomed VNF capacity comprises VNF capacity that improves network resource allocation.
