41. How SDN and NFV Will Affect You
In just a few short years since their introduction, software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) have managed to obtain almost universal consensus, acclaim, and recognition, as a major theoretical concept for modern network design moving forward. Interestingly, however, the SDN architecture, the actual realistic deployment methodology, does not have that same consensus. Some major network equipment vendors agree with the principles of SDN but want a distributed architecture whereby the intelligence is retained on the network devices and they could be controlled by a centralized orchestrator via vendor application programming interfaces (APIs). Not a surprise given the revenue ...
