Research Summary

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) are transformative technologies revolutionizing traditional network architectures. SDN abstracts network control from network hardware, allowing centralized control through software-based controllers. This separation enables programmable and dynamic management of network resources, improving flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. On the other hand, NFV virtualizes network functions, traditionally performed by dedicated hardware appliances, into software-based services that run on standard servers or cloud platforms. NFV decouples network functions from proprietary hardware, enabling them to be deployed and scaled more easily, leading to greater agility and cost savings. Together, SDN and NFV empower organizations to build agile, adaptable, and cost-effective networks that can meet the evolving demands of modern applications and services.
