Introduction to NFV and SDN Eğitimi

This course serves as an introduction to the latest technologies to influence mobile service provider networks, namely NFV and SDN. The course will initially outline the driving factors for NFV, followed by analysis of the standardization efforts in place. The NFV Framework architecture will then be examined, including focus on VNFs, the NFVI and MANO. In conclusion, an overview of the concepts and architecture associated with SDN is provided.
