summit 16: the open source nfv eco-system and opnfv's role therein

June 20–23, 2016 | Berlin, Germany

The Open Source NFV Eco-system and OPNFV’s Role Therein

Frank Brockners, Cisco

Abstract

There are a lot of open-source projects which deliver pieces of the NFV eco-system. The puzzle has many pieces like fd.io, IOvisor, OpenO, OSM, OpenStack, OpenDaylight, CNCF, CNI, Cloudfoundry, etc. This session is going to put the different open source projects in perspective and show how they all organize into a "big picture". OPNFV's role will receive a special spotlight.
