Realising the Benefits of Network Functions Virtualisation in Telecoms Networks
چکیده
Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is a pervasive theme within the telecoms industry, and over the past year, it has become a catalyst for major transformational change in the network. Many service providers, telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs), and an emerging NFV ecosystem have announced proof of concepts, live trials, and commercial products embracing the NFV vision. In addition, forums such as the ETSI NFV Industry Specification Group and the Open Networking Forum have provided the necessary structures to support the initiative and its continuing momentum and evolution.
