CirrostratusHi guys.
I have a question regarding vCMP.
When we told virtualize network.
there is SDN and NFV.
what does vCMP belong to?
additionally, BIGIP VE is NVF I think.
Does anyone addvice my questions?
with regards
CirrocumulusThe definition may differ, so I am talking into account Wikipedia.

vCMP is the technology, so the equivalent to a VE is the vCMP guest.
For a high level, VE or vCMP guest is the same thing.
Both are virtual F5s, but vCMP guest runs on top of a BIG-IP Software + F5 hardware, while VE runs on top of something else (like VMware ESXi + hardware).
I guess both classify as NFV.
I would say that BIG-IQ that classifies as SDN.
