Accelerating Innovation with Lean NFV

Explore the potential of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and its challenges in this keynote presentation from the Linux Foundation. Delve into the concept of LeanNFV, an open architecture designed to simplify integration and accelerate innovation in the networking industry. Learn about the three basic components of NFV, the integration problems faced by current implementations, and how LeanNFV addresses these issues. Discover how this minimalist approach enhances flexibility for 5G networks, supports network slicing and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), and improves network siding segmentation. Gain insights from experts Scott Shenker, Sylvia Ratnasamy, and Constantine Polychronopoulos as they discuss the advantages of LeanNFV and outline next steps for its development and adoption.
