Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Virtual Network Function (VNF)?
A Virtual Network Function (VNF) is a software-based implementation of a network function that traditionally ran on dedicated hardware. VNFs allow network functions to run as virtual machines or containers, offering greater flexibility and scalability.
What is the difference between this package and a hardware appliance?
This is a software license for virtual network functions, meaning it runs on existing or virtualized hardware. A hardware appliance is a physical device that performs network functions. VNFs offer more agility and can be scaled more easily.
