SDN (Software Defined Networks) and NFV (Network Function Virtualization) are the hottest areas of networking today both in terms of interest and investment, but many professionals do not fully understand what SDN and NFV are, how they work (at a basic level) and why they are so important to the networking industry. Other books focused on SDN and NFV tend address technical audiences, and information for non-technical people who need only a high level understanding is scant.
