INTRODUCTION

3. Background
 Infrastructure Usage Utilization is not cost effective.
Total cost can be reduced by sharing network resources
 Cloud Solutions (Cloud Computing, etc) do not take
infrastructure as concern.
Always take network connectivity for granted and do not
approach considering QoS [1]
 Requirement of connection between components
respecting service requirements.
Virtualized service platform respecting all service
requirements, e.g. as expressed by interactive real-time
services, on transport layer [1]

4. Definition
 ”A promising approach to cover individual and dynamic
resource provision while keeping strong individual QoS
requirements and optimizing the overall resource
usage” , Oberle [1].
 "A technique for isolating computational and network
resources through virtualization to allocate them to a
logical (virtual) network for accommodating multiple
independent and programmable virtual networks" ,
Nakao [2].
 ”A mechanism for running multiple networks, which are
customized to a specific purpose, over the shared
infrastructure” , Miyamura [3].

5. Key Features
 Segmentation: allows several different services to share a
physical link with given specific QoS properties
 Isolation: No crosstalk between applications in resource
sharing caused by program crashes, sniffing, attacking, etc
 Encapsulation: enables services developers to design service
specific on the overlay networks at a high level of abstraction,
and then disburden them fromdealing with highly complex
physical network infrastructures.
 Aggregation: possible to build virtually elarged resources
(clustered resources or resources pool)

THE CONCEPTS

7. ISONI Architecture
 ISONI : Intellegent Service Oriented Network Infrastructure
 ISONI characteristic:
 Reduce complexity for roll-out new services
 Separate management hardware resources from
services
 Upper Part : VSN (Virtual Service Network) provided by
service developer
 Lower Part : Real Resources, VMU (Virtual Machine Unit)
and link between VMU

8. ISONI Architecture

9. VNET Architecture
 Identifying players for offering virtual network services
 VNET Goals:
 Identify business opportunities
 Distangle the technical issue from business perpective
 New Business Roles:
 Physical Infrastructure Provider (PIP)
 Virtual Network Provider (VNP)
 Virtual Network Operator (VNO)
 Service Provider (SP)

10. VNET Architecture

11. CABO Architecture
 CABO : Concurrent Architecture Better than One
 Divide ISP into two distinct entities:
 infrastructure providers (provide physically)
 service providers (provide agrement)
 Physical Resources shared by subdividing physical to
virtual for both node and links
 Bandwidth and delay guaranteed by arbritate access to
shared resources (CPU, memory, and bandwidth)
 End host can run multiple virtual network from different
service provider

12. CABO Architecture

13. Network Control Mechanism
 One-Hop Source Routing
 Based on Routing overlays
 Route to intermediate node, relay to destination by
ordinary IP routing, forwarding by tunnel
 Simple control and scalable
 Adaptive network control mechanism
 Attractor selection based VNT based on environmental
changes adapation
 Regulatory and metabolic reactions consider as optical
and service overlay network

14. Resource Allocation
 Static Approaches
 Basic Algorithm
 Traffic constraints based algorithm
 Splitting and Migration of Paths
 Dynamic Approaches
 DaVinci
 Miscellaneous Approaches
 Autonomic Systems based
 Control Theoretic based systems

PROOF OF CONCEPTS

16. VNET on HEN
 Consist of 110 computers and single non-blocking gigabit
etherne switch with constant latency
 Node and Link Virtualization Technologies for Instantion
 Rely on XEN's Paravirtualization for hosting virtual
machines
 Physical Node compose substrate (PIP)
 NOC of VNP connect to dedicated management node
 XML Schema describe resource spesification for Node and
Links

17. VNET on HEN

18. VNET on HEN
 Two option node virtualization :
 VM created and booted as guest domain
 VM resources allocated by PIP upon request
 Virtual node connection using Ipv4-in-IPv4 Tunnel
 Two NIC drivers of XEN :
 DomU (Back-end) : part kernel space of guest OS
 Dom0 (Front-end): physical domain inc, physical NIC
 Back-end and Front-end correspons with Bridging (XEN
default) or Click
 Topology created using VLAN and Virtual links by switch-
daemon based on request

19. VINI on PlanetLab
 PlanetLab : large physical infrastructure and provide
virtualization
 Vserver of the node (Slice) for experiment isolation
 Tight control of resources (CPU or Bandwidth per slice)
 CPU scheduler ”fair share”, Linux Hierarchical Token
Bucket (HTB) ”fair share and minimum rate guarantees”
 VNET module for track and multiplexes incoming and
outgoing traffic
 UML (User Mode Linux) allow each virtual node access
multiple network device (user-space in a slice)

20. VINI on PlanetLab

21. VINI on PlanetLab
 Linux TAP/TUN driver modification to send and receive
packet on the overlay
 Single TUN/TAP interface (same IP address) used by
multiple processes (different slices) simultaneously
 IIAS (Internet In A Slice) : example network architecture for
evaluate existing routing and forwarding mechanism
 IIAS employs Click Software Router (forwarding engine),
and XORP routing protocol suite (control plane)
 XORP run in UML kernel process, FIB implemented in
Click Process outside UML
 Next Development GpENI-VINI : MyPLC (VINI resources
manager) and IIAS (interface and link provisioning tools)
