PROGNETS - International Conference on Programmable and Virtualized Networks 2017

Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is emerging as a technology capable bringing significant cost savings to network operators by allowing network functions to be turned into software and run over general purpose computing and networking infrastructures. In parallel Software Defined Networking (SDN) is enabling flexible, scalable, highly configurable, and reliable networks by leveraging on programmable data-planes and on a logically centralized control plane.
