Network Functions Virtualization: The Long Road to Commercial Deployments

The Long Road to Eradicate Rinderpest

Security challenges with network functions virtualization

The advent of network functions virtualization (NFV) has revolutionized numerous network-based applications due to its several benefits such as flexibility, manageability, scalability, and security. By the software-based virtualization of network functions on a single infrastructure, NFV provides users with a framework that dynamically provisions various network services in a flexible manner. H...

Efficient and Secure Authentication Handover using Network functions virtualization

Mobility of the subscriber is an important attribute to the success of a telecommunication network. With the advent of 5G networking which achieves high throughput rates by using heterogeneous nodes and frequent handovers, existing authentication and handover techniques should be revisited to securely and reliably perform handovers for LTE LTE. By virtualizing the nodes through Network Function...

Open, Simplified Networking Based on SDN and Network Functions Virtualization

Today’s networks are overly complex, partly due to an increasing variety of proprietary, fixed-function appliances that are unable to deliver the agility and economics needed to address constantly changing market requirements. This is because network elements have traditionally been optimized for high packet throughput at the expense of flexibility, thus hampering the development and deployment...
