NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION (NFV)

摘要

Network function virtualization (NFV) or other cloud/remote processing of packets, signals, messaging, etc. for a home network or other network desiring remote management is contemplated. A virtual platform or other feature outside of the managed network may be configured to implement various NFVs according to NFV designs. An administrator of the managed network may interact with a portal or other relatively unsophisticated interface to formulate the NFV designs, thereby eliminating or ameliorating complexities associated with the administrator having to individually program routers or other devices of the managed network.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a plurality of non-transitory instructions operable with a virtual platform to facilitate network function virtualization (NFV) for a plurality of devices connected to a home network, the non-transitory instructions being sufficient for:
performing a first network function virtualization (NFV) on a first plurality of packets associated with a first device of the plurality of devices, the first plurality of packets being communicated between a first server and the first device via the virtual platform; and performing a second network function virtualization (NFV) on a second plurality of packets associated with a second device of the plurality of devices, the second plurality of packets being communicated between a second server and the second device via the virtual platform.
