Network Function Virtualization: Service Function Chaining

Network Function Virtualization: Service Function Chaining 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, the authors, Tom Nadeau and Ken Gary, discuss the relevancy of NFV and how it can be effectively used to create and deploy new services. Users of this book will be able to determine if network function virtualization is right for their enterprise network, 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.
