Abstract

A network function optimization method, system, and computer program product, include optimizing network function chain components by modifying a structure of the network function chain components by removing one of the functions of the network function chain components in response to a constraint according to a policy requirement.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented network function optimization method, the method comprising:
 optimizing a network function when a performance of a function is dependent on a network characteristic in a second system.   
     
     
         2 . A computer program product for network function optimization, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform:
 optimizing a network function when a performance of a function is dependent on a network characteristic in a second system.   
     
     
         3 . A network function optimization system, said system comprising:
 a processor, and   a memory, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to perform:
 optimizing a network function when a performance of a function is dependent on a network characteristic in a second system.
