Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016082867A1] A virtual network embedding orchestrator (10) for orchestrating embedding of virtual networks into a physical network is provided. The virtual network embedding orchestrator (10) comprises a problem formulation unit (11), which is adapted to formulate an embedding problem (13) based upon information regarding the virtual networks, information regarding the physical network (12) at input parameters (17). Moreover, the problem formulation unit (11) is adapted to provide the embedding problem (13) to an external problem solving unit. The virtual network embedding orchestrator (10) moreover comprises a feedback processing unit (14) adapted to receive embedding results (16) and at least one output parameter (16) from the problem solving unit and determine at least one input parameter (17) of the problem formulation unit (11) based upon the embedding results (16) and the at least one output parameter (16) of the problem solving unit. The solver can a MIP solver. The at least one input parameter can be timeout, MIP gap or solving method.
