In recent years as virtualization and cloud became more and more mature an opportunity has been created for the industry to move towards an NFV networking methodology. In parallel with this phenomenon the role of open source has evolved to establish a fundamentally new paradigm for software development. The ICT industry has had to adapt to this change and move away from traditional ways of working. During this presentation we will share some of our experience of the cloud market including SDN and NFV. We intend to shed light on some of the challenges faced and what lessons learnt on the path toward collaborative standardization and open source development. We will also highlight the importance of OPNFV and its role as an avenue to upstream communities for both investigation and cooperation

Standards
› Implementation driven
› Majority of users
› No formal agreement
