NFV

Having knowledge about NFV without understanding how Network Services/ VNF Forwarding Graphs are created, is like owning a car without knowing how to drive it. “Network Service” (NS) holds importance in NFV as in the majority of cases, VNFs connect with one another to create services instead of working alone. Also, VNFs connect to create […]

Think about NFV! Think about x86 processor ….Both of them are inseparable. Isn’t it? No matter how simple a processor (compute part) sounds, I bet a lot of people don’t know that the compute domain in NFV is not just the compute processor of the node…Actually it is much more. The fact is that the […]

The emerging Docker containers have potential to revolutionalize NFV. After all, they are lightweight compared to virtual machines; they need less overhead and resources; and, they can provide application isolation running in the same operating system, they live in. That means,  if a Virtual Network function (VNF) in NFV can run in a Docker container […]

So you are in a sprint mode for deploying virtual CPE ( Customer Premises Equipment)? You, as an operator, want it  FAST. As you want to cut your CAPEX/OPEX or perhaps you want to provision services faster. But, something is holding you:

A beginner of NFV journey faces two obstacles when trying to understanding NFV Management & Orchestration (NFV MANO): First, he knows already that a traditional network needs just one management system i.e. an EMS (or an NMS) or at most supported by an OSS. The NFV network, on the other hand, needs multiple managers i.e. […]

Short on time? Need a quick refresher on NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) terminology/ architecture in easy to understand language? Then find below a summary of SEVEN key blocks in NFV architecture, which is all you need to know to get started with the NFV architectural framework. Follow the block numbers and definitions below. But before […]

Honestly yes! One router may kill the other router, sooner or later. The “Virtual Router” is showing the performance and power required for carrier grade networks. So, if you are planning to acquire routers, read on, as you will get useful information on the options you have at hand, now. In this blog, I question […]
