Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a network architecture concept that virtualizes network functions, which have traditionally been carried out by dedicated hardware. NFV leverages standard IT virtualization technologies, such as virtual machines (VMs), containers, and cloud infrastructure, to implement network functions in software. This enables greater flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency compared to traditional hardware-based network appliances. NFV is commonly used by telecommunication service providers to virtualize network functions such as firewalls, load balancers, session border controllers, and virtual routers.
