Enhanced Graduate Curriculum: NetSoft will enhance university course offerings with innovative courses and workshops on softwarization... Practical Training in SDN and NFV: Software skills in SDN and NFV through lab exercises and design projects using leading-edge research testbeds... Network softwarization will revolutionize how network and computing infrastructures are designed and operated to deliver services and applications with greater agility and cost effectiveness. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are two expressions of network softwarization. SDN enables fast innovation by making the network programmable, and it leads to greater responsiveness, security, efficiency, and cost effectiveness. NFV replaces equipment, such as load balancers, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and signaling systems, with software running on commodity hardware. The cost and complexity of operating the network is reduced dramatically by management..
