Virtual Networks: Pluralistic Approach for the Next Generation of Internet (ISTE) (Hardcover)

The first chapter of this title concerns virtualization techniques that allow sharing computational resources basically, slicing a real computational environment into virtual computational environments that are isolated from one another.
The Xen and OpenFlow virtualization platforms are then presented in Chapter 2 and a performance analysis of both is provided. This chapter also defines the primitives that the network virtualization infrastructure must provide for allowing the piloting plane to manage virtual network elements.
Following this, interfaces for system management of the two platforms are proposed in Chapter 3. To control and manage virtual network elements, five primitives that the network virtualization infrastructure must provide are defined: instantiate, delete, migrate, monitor and set.
The book then moves on to survey existing control algorithms for virtual networking. It also describes the main challenges for packet forwarding using Xen as a virtualization tool and describes, in more detail, a proposal for local control of virtual networks. Within each physical node, this proposal guarantees the service level acquired by each virtual network, even in the presence of misbehaving virtual networks.

本書的第一章介紹了虛擬化技術，這些技術允許將計算資源共享，基本上將真實的計算環境切割成相互隔離的虛擬計算環境。第二章介紹了Xen和OpenFlow虛擬化平台，並提供了兩者的性能分析。該章還定義了網絡虛擬化基礎設施必須提供的原始操作，以便讓控制平面管理虛擬網絡元素。

接下來，在第三章中提出了兩個平台的系統管理界面。為了控制和管理虛擬網絡元素，定義了網絡虛擬化基礎設施必須提供的五個原始操作：實例化、刪除、遷移、監控和設置。

本書還對虛擬網絡的現有控制算法進行了調查。它還描述了使用Xen作為虛擬化工具進行封包轉發的主要挑戰，並更詳細地描述了一個用於本地控制虛擬網絡的提案。在每個物理節點內，該提案確保每個虛擬網絡獲得的服務水平，即使存在行為不當的虛擬網絡。
