A novel hybrid load-balancing service (HLBS) will be created and and key NFV demonstrators will be prototyped. It is hybrid as it combines IP address management and load balancing into one service\/function. All will follow a common architectural approach, on common technology. This work will leverage and can enable access to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.analysysmason.com\/Research\/Content\/Reports\/SCN-sizing-forecast-Jun2014-RMA16\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a market worth up to $2.4 Billion by 2018<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The majority of outputs from the project will be made open source (under ASL 2.0), including the hybrid load balancing service.
