OPNFV

OPNFV (Open Platform for Network Functions Virtualization) is an open-source project that helps telecom companies and network providers develop and test new software-enabled network services. It creates a flexible, standardized platform that allows networking functions, traditionally run on specialized hardware, to operate on generic servers in a virtualized environment. This approach reduces costs, accelerates innovation, and enables easier upgrades. Essentially, OPNFV acts as a collaborative toolkit that streamlines the deployment of modern, software-defined networks, making network infrastructure more efficient, adaptable, and easier to manage.
