a receiver, which is configured to receive from a determination device of the network infrastructure a compatibility request comprising at least one datum relating to a test of the resource, wherein the test evaluates a capability of the hosting device to be able to accommodate the virtualized function to be installed; a processor device configured to execute on the resource the test relating to the received at least one datum allowing at least one first variable to be obtained;
and a transmitter, which is configured to transmit to the determination device the at least one first variable.
