Abstract
This special issue is dedicated to the exploration of how systems based on software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) can enhance multimedia distribution. Bringing together researchers from both the networking and multimedia research communities, this issue showcases emerging research and creates a discussion from diverse viewpoints regarding how the greater visibility, agility, and flexibility promised by NFV and SDN will enable innovative architectures for multimedia distribution, potentially transforming the entire delivery chain of multimedia content.
