Overview
Networks are becoming virtualized. While
there has been significant focus on
virtualization in core and data center
networks, network virtualization will also
provide benefits in the home. From reducing
equipment costs to simplifying software
upgrades
CableLabs has been exploring how Network
function Virtualization (NfV) and Software
Defined Networking (SDN) can affect cable
subscribers’ home networks. This paper will
present a vision for future home networks,
specifically:
* A Virtualized Home Network
Architecture
* Virtualized Home Network Functions
* Virtualization Benefits to MSOs and
Subscribers
