METHOD FOR OPTIMAL VM SELECTION FOR MULTI DATA CENTER VIRTUAL NETWORK FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT

摘要

Example implementations involve a mechanism based on inter virtual machine (VM) communication to detect latency between VMs (Latency Detection Protocol) and peer nodes. The mechanism is used to optimize inter VM communication, by selecting a VM closest to the source; and also it is used to anchor an external connection to a VM which is closer to the external peer network function.
