Overture, Partners Release NFV Performance Test Numbers

RCR Wireless News spoke with Mike Heffner, senior director of technical product marketing at Overture, about recently released results of a collaborative effort showing robust performance of NFV service chaining.

Overture said the testing, which was done in partnership with Brocade, Intel and Spirent, showed “zero packet loss throughput” for a pair of gigabit ports carrying “line-rate IMIX traffic through multiple [virtual network functions]in a pure-play NFV environment.” The company noted that “pure-play NFV” is considered the running of software VNFs on standards servers with no specialized networking hardware.
