Claim 15:
16. A method comprising:
receiving QoS diagnostic data from a plurality of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) that represents corresponding end-to-end data-plane objects, the plurality of VNFs operates within a control-plane associated with the end-to-end data-plane objects and supports QoS chaining to coordinate interchange of QoS diagnostics across the plurality of VNFs;
correlating the QoS diagnostic data across the plurality of VNFs, the correlated QoS diagnostic data providing diagnostic information across at least a portion of the QoS chaining;
analyzing the correlated QoS diagnostic data to determine a diagnostic function responsive to at least one of an end-to-end status, performance, and/or fault condition of the data-plane objects;
assigning classes of service (CoS) and resources across the VNFs to increase a service level and a bandwidth in real-time; and
communicating the diagnostic function to at least one VNF within the plurality of VNFs.
