Claim 0:
1. A method for operating a management service (MnS) in a communication system supporting a plurality of architectures, the method comprising:
identifying an architecture supported by a first instance that is running and a list of functions for the architecture;
determining whether to use the first instance based on the architecture and a requirement for a service provision initiated by the MnS;
managing a look up table (LUT) providing, for each endpoint, an instance identifier (ID), at least one process ID corresponding to the instance ID, a list of provided functions, and an entity type; and
terminating the first instance and generating a second instance based on the LUT in case that the MnS determines not to use the first instance.
