Some experts predict that network features virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) will cause physical network equipment to be a thing of the past. This is completely false. NFV doesn’t change the game, but optimizes how it’s played. While new virtual overlays are required as technology evolves, beneath them the physical network will persist. And that network will still need upgrades.
