  text: Supporting the vast variety of network services’ management and orchestration
    requirements is one of the main challenges that Network Function Virtualization
    (NFV) is dealing with. While general management requirements such as Virtual Network
    Function (VNF) resource requirements can be specified by the service developers
    using service descriptors, specific management operations like VNF-specific configuration
    cannot be performed by these descriptors. On the other hand, it is inefficient
    and also very challenging for Management and Orchestration (MANO) frameworks to
    provide all specific-management operations for every individual network service
    and their constituent VNFs. To mitigate this issue, we propose the use of service-specific
    programs called Specific Managers (SMs) that can customize management and orchestration
    of network services and also extend the capability of MANO frameworks to support
    per-service management and orchestration. The results of our evaluation show that
    the higher flexibility and programmability enabled by SMs improve the performance
    of the service performance and also utilises the service provider resources more
    efficiently.
