Enabling Cloud Connectivity Using SDN and NFV Technologies
01 January 2013
Cloud environments play an important role for network and service providers. Cloud network providers require ubiquitous, broadband and minimum-delay connectivity from network providers. There are different realizations of cloud connectivity based on the Software Defined Networking (SDN) and the Network Function Virtualization (NFV). In this paper we introduce a new concept based on our previously proposed DCU architecture with the focus on the interdomain connectivity.
