This report mainly studies virtual router market. A Virtual Router, or vRouter, is a software function that replicates in software the functionality of a hardware-based Layer 3 Internet Protocol (IP) routing, which has traditionally used a dedicated hardware device.
Because virtual routing liberates the IP routing function from specific hardware, routing functions can more freely move around a network or data center. In basic software routing function, routing software is added to the commodity server and that piece of hardware becomes a router. In a more sophisticated distributed routing environment, pieces of the routing software can be moved around entire networks while being managed by a centralized control plane.
