We interrupt our SDI broadcast for a brief NFV commercial break…

What is NFV?

• NFV is the Virtualization of Network Functions historically served by

hardware appliances

• NFV has undergone a form of mitosis (mitosisized?) and the

resultant related amoebas are…

Enterprise NFV where routers, firewalls, DHCP and DNS servers and more move into

instances in the compute plane

Telco NFV where telco-specific network functions like EPC (Evolved Packet Core)

technologies move into instances in the compute plane BUT require major performance

assistance to replace ASIC/FPGA performance lost by the moving company

We now resume our regularly scheduled broadcasting (esc-dbi)streaming…
