What are the two characteristics of the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) framework? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. It decouples the network software from the hardware. C. It implements virtualized network functions. Option B: One of the primary goals of NFV is to separate network functions (e.g., firewalls, load balancers, routers) from proprietary hardware. Instead, these functions are implemented as software running on standard servers or virtual machines. Option C: NFV replaces…

Explanation

Option B: One of the primary goals of NFV is to separate network functions (e.g., firewalls, load balancers, routers) from proprietary hardware. Instead, these functions are implemented as software running on standard servers or virtual machines. Option C: NFV replaces traditional hardware-based network appliances with virtualized network functions (VNFs). Examples include virtual firewalls, virtual routers, and virtual load balancers. These VNFs run on commodity hardware and are managed through orchestration platforms.
