NFV and SDN for 5G   |    A 3 day training course

NFV and SDN for 5G training course description

This course provides a foundation in how Software Defined Networks and Network Function Virtualisation will be implemented in a 5G environment. The unique set of challenges of 5G, i.e., the fact the user is wirelessly connected and could be handled by various different transceivers during the course of a live connection, poses specific issues that need novel ways to succeed. It will explain the proposed and suitable solutions for implementing SDN/NFV and MEC into the 5G world.

What will you learn
  • Describe the use of virtualisation in 5G
  • Compare and contrast hypervisors and containers
  • Describe Software Defined Networking
  • Explain the use of Kubernetes
  • Describe the use of open source software in SDN/ NFV networks
  • Explain the basic concept of MEC
