What's New?
New Courses Available from Intel® Network Builders University
Communications service providers are transforming their networks with NFV and SDN technologies. The Intel® Network Builders University is accelerating this transformation by providing relevant educational content to partners and end users. There are more than 100 courses available across four languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese), with new content being added each month.
This month's new content:
The online portion of the university is available to all Intel® Network Builders program members and the public through a simple registration here. Intel Network Builders University is one of three learning centers in Intel® Builders University, which also includes the Intel® Cloud Builders University and Intel® Storage Builders University. Registrants have access to all of the content in the three learning centers.
Please take a look and after exploring the offerings, let us know what content you would like to see added to the university.

FD.io* 17.10 Release Offers New Functionalities, Performance Enhancements
FD.io* 17.10 was released this fall, and full release notes are now available. The latest FD.io release introduces scalability and connectivity for containers. It also brings new and improved performance enhancements, as well as the functionality necessary to deliver vCPE virtual network functions into ONAP* via the addition of PPPoE plugin. FD.io now supports container networking via integration with LXC* and Docker*-based containers with Kubernetes.*
Additional improvements include support for security groups and mac-IP lists, as well as enhancements to the test infrastructure, affecting test repeatability and consistency that's now verified with the new CSIT analytics layer. Performance gains are strong, with new use case improvements, including updates to the network address translation use case, and vHost in NFV.
Also this fall, FD.io's performance achievements were recognized by Layer 123 as Best Quantum Leap during the Network Transformation Awards ceremony, held in The Hague, Netherlands, as part of the SDN NFV World Congress. Architectural improvement increases in the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family—such as increased PCIe* bandwidth—allow FD.io to double its performance at scale without modification to the software. FD.io is the only vSwitch for which performance scaling is IO bound rather than CPU bound.

Intel® Data Center Block for Networking – NFVI Server Block
With the global network functions virtualization (NFV) market projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 42%, reaching $15.5 billion by 2020, a massive market opportunity exists. To make it easier to design and deploy network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) optimized systems, Intel has developed the new NFVI Server Block. Optimized to deliver exceptional performance for NFVI workloads, these pre-integrated, fully validated server systems reduce the complexity involved in designing and testing for the unique needs of NFVI.
Intel will host a webinar titled "Simplifying and Accelerating Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure" on January 30 at 8 am PST to dive deeper into this solution.
Implementation Guide: Optimizing NFV Infrastructure for TCP Workloads with Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
This document demonstrates virtualized, TCP speed test infrastructure—its components, installation, and optimizations—deployed on an Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8180 processor.
White Paper: Edge Computing: The Telco Business Models
Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has thus far focused on technology-driven use cases, but how could telcos create business opportunities in this quickly evolving ecosystem?
White Paper: The Evolution of Network Slicing
Network slicing is one of the key technologies that will allow the industry to meet the requirements of 5G. It allows a single network to be partitioned into many virtual networks that can secure the most efficient use of resources as well as the enablement of an array of services. With 5G and the use of software defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV), the industry will experience a major evolutionary step where software, cloud, and automated technologies will redefine the way service providers plan, deploy, maintain, and monetize their networks.
SDN/NFV Developer Day & Lightning Talks
Join us for an afternoon of talks and training (IoT, networking, container technologies), topped off with a lightning talk session. All network developers are invited to submit a proposal for a lightning talk. If you have an open source networking project that you'd like to share, please contact michelle.holley@arenamkt.com.
Date: January 24
Location: Santa Clara, CA
