What is NFVO?

NFVO is like the traffic controller at a big, busy playground, making sure all the games run smoothly.

Imagine you and your friends are playing different games on the same playground, one group is playing tag, another is building a fort, and another is having a race. Without someone to keep track of who’s where and when they need the space, everything would get chaotic.

That's where NFVO comes in. It helps manage all the different parts of a network, like making sure each game (or service) gets the right amount of space and attention so everyone can play without bumping into each other.

Think of the playground as a network, and the games are like services running on it. The traffic controller (NFVO) sees what’s going on, decides where to place each game, and makes sure everything stays organized, just like how you might swap places with your friend so both of you can play without fighting over the same spot.

Without NFVO, the network would be like a playground full of kids all shouting at once, no one knows who’s playing what, and it becomes hard to enjoy the game.
