Abstract:
A method for managing allocation of network resources at a site in a communication network is disclosed. The method is performed by a resource manager and comprises receiving a notification of an event occurring at a network entity, the network entity being associated with the site and with a network operator. The event comprises at least one of a performance event, a fault event or an update event. The method further comprises determining an implication of the notified event for traffic flow in the network and determining, on the basis of the implication of the notified event for traffic flow in the network, an operational requirement to compensate for the event. The method further comprises obtaining configuration information for fulfilment of the operational requirement and instructing an infrastructure manager for the site to allocate network resources in accordance with the obtained configuration information in order to satisfy the operational requirement.
