Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A computer system for establishing network slices within a physical network having a plurality of network elements, the computer system comprising:
one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable storage media;
program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to receive a request to instantiate a network slice at a network element, wherein the network element includes a data path table of network slices to be instantiated;
program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to determine that a performance metric of the network element is below a threshold using a supervised machine learning model that monitors network element resource utilization and network slice requirements; and
program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to withhold the request to instantiate the network slice from the data path table of network slices to be instantiated.
