In this publication a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) resource advertisement and discovery protocol for a distributed NFV orchestration in a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN)-based disaster network is proposed. The protocol enables the management of a dynamic NFV infrastructure by automatically assigning the currently required management entity to the nodes in the WMN-based disaster network and thus provides the basis for a distributed orchestration. The protocol is defined using a set of methods and a state machine. By using different scenarios, the state machine and the message flow of the protocol is described in detail.
