1. A computer-implemented network function optimization method, the method comprising:
optimizing network function chain components of a software by:
modifying a structure of the network function chain components based on:
an operation of a function of the network function chain components; and
the function of each of the network function chain components being located on a same host,
wherein the network chain components are located on the same host at the time of the modifying the structure.
