Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for fulfilling a service chain request. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to collect network data of a plurality of instances of services and connections between the plurality of instances of services and redefine service chains to direct flow to an alternative instance of a service responsive to determining that an instance of a service in a service chain has become inaccessible. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to fulfill a service chain request and avoid one or more instances of services (and/or connections there between) that could cause a delay between transmitting data packets through the service chain.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein identifying, by one or more computer processors, an alternative instance of the service in the plurality of instances of services comprises:\n generating, by one or more computer processors, a weighted graph, wherein instances of services that are assigned a greater point value are weighted more heavily in the weighted graph than instances of services that are assigned a lesser point value, and connections that are assigned a greater point value are weighted more heavily in the weighted graph than connections that are assigned a lesser point value; and selecting, by one or more computer processors, an alternative instance of the service having a greatest weight in the weighted graph.
