Abstract
The present invention provides apparatuses, methods, computer programs, computer program products and computer-readable media regarding enhancement of traffic detection and routing in virtualized environment. The method comprises receiving information regarding an installation of an application to a server, the information comprising a detection pattern used for detecting data flow to be routed via the application to be installed, establishing a routing rule based on the detection pattern, and sending the routing rule to the server into which the application is to be installed.
Claims22
A method for use in a management entity of a virtualized network, comprising:
- receiving information regarding an installation of an application to a server;
- the information comprising a detection pattern used for detecting a data flow to be routed via the application to be installed;
- establishing a routing rule based on the detection pattern;
- and
- sending the routing rule to the server into which the application is to be installed.
A method for use in a server of a virtualized network, the method comprising:
- receiving a routing rule associated with an application, the routing rule comprising a detection pattern used for detecting a data flow to be routed via the application and routing information to be used by the server for routing the detected data flow to or via the application;
- installing the detection pattern in a traffic detection entity of the server;
- and
- installing the routing information in a routing entity of the server.

An apparatus for use in a management entity of a virtualized network, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein
- the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- receiving information regarding an installation of an application to a server;
- the information comprising a detection pattern used for detecting a data flow to be routed via the application to be installed;
- establishing a routing rule based on the detection pattern;
- and
- sending the routing rule to the server into which the application is to be installed.
An apparatus for use in a server of a virtualized network, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein
- the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- receiving a routing rule associated with an application, the routing rule comprising a detection pattern used for detecting a data flow to be routed via the application and routing information to be used by the server for routing the detected data flow to or via the application;
- installing the detection pattern in a traffic detection entity of the server;
- and
- installing the routing information in a routing entity of the server.
