4th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Network Softwarization

https://kn.inf.uni-tuebingen.de/kuvs-fg-netsoft/2025

3./4.4.2025                               online

Network softwarization includes software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), and programmable data planes, e.g., using P4 as programming language. They are considered core ingredients of future communication networks. While still being under research, these networking paradigms have already entered production stage for specific use cases. Major drivers are cost-effectiveness, flexibility, security, and smart control driven by external data and AI.

This workshop will discuss advances in the area of network softwarization as well as opportunities and challenges for various use cases in the field of datacenter, ISP, 5G/6G, industrial, and campus networks. Practical experience reports from prototypes, testbeds, and deployments are  welcome. The topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:

This workshop would like to discuss advances in this area as well as opportunities and challenges for various use cases in the field of datacenter, ISP, 5G/6G, industrial and campus networks, as well as network and traffic monitoring. Practical experience reports from prototypes, testbeds, and deployments are welcome including novel tools. The topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:
