Abstract

Techniques for facilitating PM (Performance Measurement) data notification are discussed. In various aspects, techniques are discussed for: creating PM jobs at a NFVI (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure) based on a request from a NM (Network Manager), providing an acknowledgement of PM job creation, and reporting available PM data to the NM.
