Virtual Router Market

Global Virtual Router Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global virtual router market is predicted to reach USD 250 million in 2024 and USD 1330 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 23.2% during the forecast period.

Due to the increasing demand for network virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) alternatives among organizations, the virtual router market volume is expected to expand significantly over the projected years. There is an increased demand for SDN and NFV alternatives among network and telecom service suppliers to meet evolving network needs. The careless handling of altering network needs by traditional hardware-centered facilities also promotes the requirement for the virtual router market.

Current Scenario of the Global Virtual Router Market

The growth of the Internet and mobile devices, the emergence of cloud services, and server virtualization have forced networking to rethink conventional networking architecture. When client-server computation is dominant, traditional network design makes sense. However, such static architecture is not adapted to contemporary airline conditions and companies' vibrant storage and computation requirements. Furthermore, the increased stress of reducing capital costs (CAPEX) and operational expenses (OPEX) also encourages companies to use virtual routers.

A virtual router represents a hardware router virtually or instances of software. The software-based routing structure, which replicates the functionalities of a hardware-based Layer 3 IP router, is a virtual router. Virtual routers include the Virtual Route Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to make it possible for a computer or a server to use the software application to execute network and packet routing functions on the router that increase network trustworthiness. Moreover, virtual router software can be hosted and moved to any hardware unit, enabling hardware and software decoupling and facilitating vibrant and holistic network administration.

Due to the advantages such as low hardware maintenance and infrastructure cost, the ability to migrate IP routing features within a network or data center, and uninterrupted services across the whole system, virtual routers are mostly utilized by service suppliers in the IT & telecommunication sectors and information centers. Virtual IP routers provide service agility by enhancing the speed at which services can be produced and supplied because new services can be scaled down and implemented with no fresh hardware installation. Also, virtual routers allow capital spending optimization (CapEx) and lower operating costs (OpEx).

Virtual routers refer to a software-based routing framework that acts as a standard router of hardware. When a virtual router software, for example, a laptop or a server, is mounted on a computer, it uses a host's device to execute a particular router's networking and packet-rushing functions. Each virtual router is identified by a single virtual router ID, which is present at the last byte. The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) can be used to increase network reliability. VRRP will automatically assign any available Internet Protocol (IP) router to a participating host. This makes virtual routers a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) format possible. Virtual routing cases are autonomous, allowing IP addresses to be overlapped without dispute.

Virtual routers are software that can be operated on COTS hardware and allow hardware to work as a conventional hardware-based network device. Virtual routing allows the routing features to be freely relocated over the network as IP routing is released from any particular software. For fundamental routing features, it enables the server to work as a router by adding virtual router software to a commodity server. Parts of the virtual router can be shifted across the entire network while being managed from a central control position in complicated and sophisticated distributed routing settings. From such an evolution, routing features can be configured or adjusted to the network requirements. The following can be derived. New open-source techniques are intended to integrate routing features in software systems and, therefore, allow allocation across the whole network.
