A problem with Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in Software Defined Networks (SDN) is the high latency required for processing a packet. In addition to the first-packet delay for SDN, NFV adds additional delays for subsequent packets. GDN provides a more efficient way to process packets using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) that achieves sub-microsecond packet processing latency and the far less power to implement a NFV function as compared to software.
