Abstract:
A method for computing device management includes receiving a first incoming packet by a first computing device, analyzing the first incoming packet to identify a virtual network function (VNF) needed to process the first incoming packet, transmitting, to a software defined network controller and in response to the first incoming packet, an orchestration request requesting to orchestrate the VNF on the first computing device, and orchestrating the VNF on the first computing device. The method further includes processing a second incoming packet using the VNF on the first computing device.
