Abstract:
Applying a virtual network function (VNF) chain includes storing, in a shared data repository, configuration data used to configure VNFs of the VNF chain within a network node. Hierarchical version control of the configuration data allows VNF's, which are logically arranged in a sequential fashion, yet have the ability to process frames in parallel, to track which frames are governed by a hierarchy that may be manipulated based on external events such as fail-overs, or configuration changes.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n storing, in the shared data repository, a plurality of versions of the configuration data block, wherein the plurality of versions comprises a first version of the configuration data block, wherein each configuration data block version is selected for each data frame based on the metadata of the data frame; selecting, from the plurality of versions of the configuration data block in the shared data repository, a second version of the configuration data block based on metadata of a second data frame processed through the VNF chain subsequent to the first data frame; and sending, from the shared data repository, the second version of the configuration data block to the first VNF to reconfigure the first VNF to process the second data frame.
