SDN versus NFV
Software Defined Networking• Separate control plane from data plane in
forwarding elements
• API-driven forwarding rules in data plane
• Historically, SDN focused on Stateless on L2-L4 forwarding
• Stateful L4-L7 Recognized as a critical component of SDN
• Came from the Data Center world
• Standardization efforts in Open Networking Forum (ONF)
Network Function Virtualization• Decoupling software from hardware
• Porting control plane and forwarding plane networking functions to COTS HW
• Flexible network function deployment
• Dynamic provisioning and orchestration of network functions
• Focused on L3-L7 of the OSI Stack
• Initiated and driven by Telco Service Providers
• Standardization in ETSI-NFV ISG

The 4 pillars of Integrated SDN and NFV
SDN+NFV
Virtualization
• Virtual network functions
(VNFs/VMs)
• Significant multi-tenancy
• High performance
• Comprehensive hypervisor
support
Abstraction
• Service and network
abstraction
• Configuration templates
• On demand resourcing
Programmability• Data, control &
management planes
• Open and production-
deployed APIs
• Developer-friendly
RESTful APIs
• Large existing developer
community & ecosystem
Orchestration
• Unified multi-vendor,
multi-service ecosystem
• Open and standards
based multivendor
integration
• Policy-driven flows and
steering
