PROVISIONING AND MANAGING SLICES OF A CONSUMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT DEVICE

摘要

At a customer premises equipment comprising one or more network interfaces, an instruction to provision a slice of the customer premises equipment (CPE) for a tenant application is received from a root network manager. The instruction identifies at least one network interface of the one or more network interfaces to allocate to the slice. The slice of the CPE is provisioned, where provisioning the slice comprises allocating CPE resources including the at least one network interface to the slice of the customer premises equipment. The tenant application is obtained. Data associating the tenant application with the slice of the CPE is stored. A management instruction for managing the tenant application is received directly from a secondary network manager associated with the tenant application. The management instruction is executed only in relation to the slice.
