Abstract:
A method for operating a u-MANO inside a user domain that ensures deployment and service integrity of end-to-end network services in collaboration with a p-MANO includes receiving a request for a network service instance; and initiating a discovery operation to discover the p-MANO if the request's scope is determined to extend beyond the user domain. The discovery operation includes: determining an identity and/or an address of the p-MANO; sending a solicitation message to the p-MANO to discover its reachability and availability; sending a service request specifying network service requirements to the p-MANO in response to receiving a solicitation response from the p-MANO; and receiving a service acceptance from the p-MANO. The method further includes instantiating and deploying the network service instance that is at least partially within the user domain and partially outside the user domain.

Claim (Index 17):
The computer-based method according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein sending the service request and receiving the solicitation response comprises exchanging information relevant to instantiating and deploying the network service instance, wherein the network service instance comprises a plurality of sub-network service (sNS) segments stitched together, at least one of the sNS segments being within the user domain and at least one of the sNS segments being outside the user domain, and wherein the method further comprises:\n collaborating with the p-MANO on processing decisions concerning stitching together sub-network service segments to create the network service instance; and \n coordinating among the sNSs segments to perform at least one of FCAPS management, load balancing, aggregation, or ensuring lifecycle management of the network service instance.
