Description: The VNF (Virtual Network Function) Catalog is a repository that houses various network functions that can be virtually implemented in network infrastructure. This catalog allows telecommunications operators and service providers to access a variety of VNFs that can be deployed in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) environments. VNFs are software components that replicate the functions of traditional hardware, such as firewalls, load balancers, and intrusion detection systems, but with the advantage of being more flexible and scalable. By using a catalog, organizations can efficiently select and manage these functions, facilitating the implementation of innovative and adaptive network services. This approach not only optimizes resource usage but also reduces operational costs and improves agility in responding to market demands. In summary, the VNF Catalog is essential for modernizing network infrastructures, enabling a transition to more dynamic and software-based environments.
