Network Function Virtualization provides an architectural, vendor-neutral level overview of the issues surrounding the large levels of data storage and transmission requirements needed for today's companies, also enumerating the benefits of NFV for the enterprise.

Drawing upon years of practical experience, and using numerous examples and an easy-to-understand framework, authors Tom Nadeau and Ken Gary discuss the relevancy of NFV and how it can be effectively used to create and deploy new services. Readers will learn how to determine if network function virtualization is right for their enterprise network, be able to use hands-on, step-by-step guides to design, deploy, and manage NFV in an enterprise, and learn how to evaluate all relevant NFV standards, including ETSI, IETF, Openstack, and Open Daylight.

Provides a comprehensive overview of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Discusses how to determine if network function virtualization is right for an enterprise network Presents an ideal reference for those interested in NFV Network Service Chaining, NSC network address translation (NAT), firewalling, intrusion detection, domain name service (DNS), caching, and software defined networks Includes hands-on, step-by-step guides for designing, deploying, and managing NFV in the enterprise Explains, and contrasts, all relevant NFV standards, including ETSI, IETF, Openstack, and Open Daylight

Explore the emerging definitions, protocols, and standards for SDN—software-defined, software-driven, programmable networks—with this comprehensive guide. Two senior network engineers show you what’s required for building networks that use software for bi-directional communication between applications and the underlying network infrastructure.

This vendor-agnostic book also presents several SDN use cases, including bandwidth scheduling and manipulation, input traffic and triggered actions, as well as some interesting use cases around big data, data center overlays, and network-function virtualization. Discover how enterprises and service providers alike are pursuing SDN as it continues to evolve.

Explore the current state of the OpenFlow model and centralized network controlDelve into distributed and central control, including data plane generationExamine the structure and capabilities of commercial and open source controllersSurvey the available technologies for network programmabilityTrace the modern data center from desktop-centric to highly distributed modelsDiscover new ways to connect instances of network-function virtualization and service chainingGet detailed information on constructing and maintaining an SDN network topologyExamine an idealized SDN framework for controllers, applications, and ecosystems
