SDN Software Switch Lagopus and NFV Service Orchestrator vConductor for Developing SDN/NFV

摘要

In anticipation of the wide deployment of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV), we at NTT Network Innovation Laboratories have been carrying out research and development (R&D) of SDN and related network virtualization. This article presents two of the R&D topics in this field, the software switch Lagopus that corresponds to OpenFlow 1.3, and the NFV service orchestrator vConductor , which is based on global standard techniques.
