Demonstrating the optimal placement of virtualized cellular network functions in case of large crowd events

This demonstration highlights how Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) [1] can be used by a mobile network operator to dynamically provide required mobile core network functions for a large "Mega" event like a football game or a concert. Economic reasons may not justify the deployment or continuous maintenance of expensive dedicated hardware at the event site, which is necessary to cope with the extra load temporarily generated by the visitors.
