VIRTUAL NETWORK FUNCTION RESPONSE TO A SERVICE INTERRUPTION

In some examples, a first virtual network function (VNF) that is part of a collection of interconnected VNFs detects a service interruption in a network that includes the collection interconnected VNFs. In response to detecting the service interruption, the first VNF sends control information to a target entity, the control information specifying an action to take to change a communication flow through the collection of interconnected VNFs.
