the analytics engine receiving the resource allocated confirmation and forwarding to the service manager module a slice offer comprising the slice identification, the provider identification, the QoS, the transaction identification and a cost of service;
the service manager module forwarding the slice offer to the client and from the client receiving at the service manager module a slice accept response, the slice accept response comprising the client identification, transaction identification and the client signature;
the service manager module forwarding the client accept to the analytics engine which in turn forwards to the source manager a resource confirmation comprising the client identification, the slice identification and the transaction identification; and
