Networking Areas of Interest for HEP High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments, as well as many similar data intensive, global science domains, rely on networks as one of the critical components of their infrastructure both within the participating laboratories and sites as well as globally to interconnect those sites, data centres and experiments instrumentation.Recent work by the HEPiX Network Function Virtualization working group has created a Phase I report about activities underway both within 1 HEP and more broadly within industry.The report surveyed ongoing activities relevant to HEP from the datacenter to the WAN and suggested possible areas of interest that HEP may want to explore with the various NRENs and network researchers.The report was presented and discussed at the January 13-14th 2020 LHCONE/LHCOPN meeting at CERN and resulted in a
