Sumario:The need for flexible management and efficient operation of the network, while maintaining the capital (CAPEX) and operating (OPEX) expenditures low, has opened the way for new designs and technologies to be introduced that will be able to cope with the afore mentioned challenges. On that respect, virtualization has been established as a key technology since it allows decoupling software applications from the underlying hardware [1]. SDN and NFV are two promising approaches that when combined can provide the necessary flexibility in the network and resources management [2].
