A virtual router may be classified as a software-based routing structure, that allow the host devices to work as a traditional hardware router over a local area network. It allows network paths to be segmented for multiple devices when it shares an internet connection. This type of setting also helps organizations in segregating traffic at the same time increasing network security by completely eliminating the need for authentication and encryption. Various functions such as overlapping of IP addresses, network functions virtualization (NFV), traffic routing can also be achieved with a virtual router. The market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for NFV and software-defined networking solutions by the enterprises. In addition to this, more and more telecom and network providers with changing network flexibility in mind are readying up for virtual routers and the benefits it will pass onto them. The inefficiency of the legacy hardware first infrastructure with changing network flexibility is also expected to drive the demand for virtual routers. For enterprises, the use of virtual routers also translates into cost savings as dedicated hardware is not required for routing purposes. With such factors promoting the market growth, there are some that may hinder the market’s growth too. Factor such as virtual routers’ inability to handle heavy duty core IP functions is expected to restrain the market growth. Demand for virtual networking solutions is expected to generated opportunities in the years to come.
