VIRTUAL NETWORK FUNCTION CONFIGURATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

The present invention provides a virtual network function configuration method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving a network function configuration request sent by a network management system, where the network function configuration request includes a network function requirement of a service node; obtaining, from a network function NF instance library, an NF instance file that satisfies the network function requirement of the service node, where the NF instance library includes an instance file for which each service function is based on each acceleration device; and performing network function configuration on the service node according to the obtained NF instance file. In the present invention, network function configuration may be performed on the service node according to the network function requirement of the network function configuration request, so that network function performance can be effectively improved, and dynamic configuration for an acceleration resource of the network function is implemented.
