SDN and NFV have been inextricably bound with each other for so long that on a conceptual level, smooshing them together into one catch-all phrase – SDNFV – is now justifiable, according to Dan Pitt, executive director of the Open Networking Foundation (ONF). Light Reading spoke to Pitt at the NFV World Congress, where he explained that the next argument to settle in SDNFV is over orchestration techniques and technologies. The ONF will be talking much more about this SDNFV concept at a pre-event workshop at Light Reading's Big Communications Event in Austin May 24-25.
