The demonstration shows how an open approach using the OpenDaylight Controller and Open vSwitch with Ericsson Cloud SDN and Netronome Agilio-CX can seamlessly deliver high performance and server efficiency while maintaining flexibility. High performance packet throughput is achieved by accelerating the Open vSwitch data plane, freeing up to 90% of the server CPU cores from running OVS and become available to run more NFV applications.
