IP

The Internet – One of the greatest
achievement of the 20-th century

The Internet must evolve, innovate, and
scale to to meet increasing ubiquity

Emerging Network Virtualization
Office of Science
Network Virtualization

Virtualization attempts to solve the ossification problem
by allowing multiple virtual networks to co-exist within
a shared infrastructure
Why?
 De-ossification - expand or eliminate the neck of the IP
hourglass

Attempt to understand and manage large-scale network
complexities

Stimulate research and innovations through deployment and
testing of disruptive network technologies

Accommodate the requirements of diverse types of
applications, especially high-end science applications


Beyond existing packet and circuit switching technologies

Building security into network architecture and protocol
primitives


Expectations of Network Virtualization
Office of Science
Each virtual Net (Vnet) is an
independent network that operates
in a protected partition
•
Inter-Vnet communication is
allowed at the shared node
Main Network
•
Vnet #0 is designated as the
network that performs the control
and management
Layer 4
Vnet #2
•
Vnets can acquire and release
resources to the main network
infrastructure (dynamically?)
Layer 2
Vnet #3
Layer 3
Vnet #n
Net #0
Control Net
Layer 2
Vnet #1

1.
Vnet is carved from the main
backbone network
1.
Vnet and the main network are
two independent networks
2.
Resources can be exchanged
between the Vnet and the
main network
2.
No resource exchanged between
the two networks

Inter-Agency View of Network
Ossification & Virtualization
Office of Science

Ossification is a problem across all federal
agencies (DOE, DARPA, NSA, etc)

GENI is NSF’s view of the problem – A multiagency approach to the problem is critical

Contribution from the science community is
especially critical
