Networking has been traditionally entrusted to customized ASICs and vertically integrated software solutions on top of these customized boxes. Virtualizing network functions on commodity x86 based servers brings its own challenges. Sharing resources among virtual functions and added software layers of hypervisor, soft switches etc before the packet gets onto the Network Function are some of them. This meet up will focus on giving the attendee a flavor of some of the tools and technologies being to resolve some of these issues from the Industry and Intel
