Abstract

La présente divulgation concerne un procédé et un système de surveillance de détails d'utilisation de ressources par des composants de nœud de réseau. La divulgation consiste à récupérer, à partir d'une unité de gestion d'inventaire (IMU) [314], une première liste de ressources. La divulgation consiste également à transmettre, à une unité d'adaptateur (ADU) [312], la première liste de ressources. Une seconde liste de ressources est ensuite extraite de l'ADU [312]. La divulgation consiste de même à comparer la première liste de ressources et la seconde liste de ressources pour chaque VNFC. En outre, la divulgation consiste à transmettre, à l'IMU [314], une liste de ressources finale pour chaque VNFC sur la base de la comparaison, afin de mettre à jour la base de données selon la liste de ressources finale.
