Systems, devices and methods of decomposing service requests into domain-specific service requests

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable software instructions configured to cause a server processor of a continuum orchestrator computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a service policy request that includes information identifying a maximum allowed latency for delivery of a first service across a telecommunications system, wherein:
• the telecommunications system that is organized into a plurality of domains;
• all components in the telecommunications system involved in the delivery of the first service are grouped into at least one of the plurality of domains,
• the plurality of domains includes at least a first domain and a second domain, wherein at least one of the first domain or the second domain is a content provider domain, content delivery domain, a cloud computing domain, a radio access network domain, or a transit network domain,
• the components in the first domain collectively provide a first functionality for the delivery of the first service,
• the components in the second domain collectively provide a different functionality for the delivery of the first service,
• the first domain includes a first domain orchestrator component, and
• the second domain includes a second domain orchestrator component;
• identifying domains in the telecommunications system that collectively provide functionality to fulfill the received service policy request at or below the maximum allowed latency;
• generating a plurality of domain specific service policy requests based on the identified domains and the information included in the received service policy request, the plurality of domain specific service policy requests including:
• a first message that includes information specific to altering the first functionality provided by the components in the first domain, and
• a second message that includes information specific to altering the different functionality provided by the components in the second domain;
• sending the first message to the first domain orchestrator component in the first domain;
• and
• sending the second message to the second domain orchestrator component in the second domain.
