contents Network slicing plays a crucial role in realizing 5G/6G advances, enabling diverse Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements related to latency, throughput, and reliability. Since network slices are deployed end-to-end (E2E), across multiple domains including access, transport, and core networks, it is essential to efficiently decompose an E2E SLA into domain-level targets, so that each domain can provision adequate resources for the slice. However, decomposing SLAs is highly challenging due to the heterogeneity of domains, dynamic network conditions, and the fact that the SLA orchestrator is oblivious to the domain's resource optimization. In this work, we propose Odin, a Bayesian Optimization-based solution that leverages each domain's online feedback for provably-efficient SLA decomposition. Through theoretical analyses and rigorous evaluations, we demonstrate that Odin's E2E orchestrator can achieve up to 45% performance improvement in SLA satisfaction when compared with baseline solutions whilst reducing overall resource costs even in the presence of noisy feedback from the individual domains.
