VIOLIN: Virtual Internetworking on Overlay Infrastructure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel application-level virtual network architecture called VIOLIN (Virtual Internetworking on OverLay INfrastructure). VIOLINs are isolated virtual networks created on top of an overlay infrastructure (e.g., PlanetLab). Entities in a VIOLIN include virtual end-hosts, routers, and switches implemented by software and hosted by physical overlay hosts. Novel features of VIOLIN include: (1) a VIOLIN is a “virtual world” with its own IP address space. All its computation and communications are strictly confined within the VIOLIN. (2) VIOLIN entities can be created, deleted, or migrated on-demand. (3) Value-added network services not widely deployed in the real Internet can be provided in a VIOLIN. We have designed and implemented a prototype of VIOLIN in PlanetLab.

Energy-Efficient Internetworking with DTN
We claim that Delay-Tolerant Networking has the potential to form an internetworking overlay that shapes traffic in a manner that exploits the capacity of last hop wireless channels and allows for energy-efficient internetworking. We demonstrate DTN potential for energy-efficient internetworking through an overlay-architecture and a tool we have developed that captures the required state transi...
متن کاملVirtual Routing: What’s The Goal? And What’s Beyond?
Virtual routing is a software design method used to provide multiple “independent” routers that share a common processor, memory, and a set of interfaces. This in-turn supports an emerging class of internetworking device, a so-called “router aggregation system” at the network edge. There is some debate as to whether virtual routers are the best means to support customer demands for IP infrastru...
متن کاملEnabling Autonomic Adaptation of Virtual Computational Environments in a Shared Distributed Infrastructure
A shared distributed infrastructure is formed by federating computation resources from multiple domains. Such shared infrastructures are increasing in popularity and are providing massive amounts of aggregated computation resources to large numbers of users. Meanwhile, virtualization technologies, at machine and network levels, are maturing and enabling mutually isolated virtual computation env...
متن کاملInternetting connectionless data networks with a wide area public ATM network
| Connectionless data services on ATM-based B-ISDN can be realized directly by means of the connectionless service function which is provided in connectionless servers. In this paper, we consider how to locate a certain amount of connectionless servers among the switching nodes in a public ATM network for the internetworking of connectionless data networks. The problem is formulated as a networ...
متن کاملAn Overlay Internetworking Architecture for Ambient Networks
Several different internetworking architectures are being discussed within the Ambient Networks (AN) project. This paper describes the Overlay architecture. Its name is derived from the use of an overlay control plane that allows for internetworking between different network technologies, as well as for control of functionality that is today found in different and sometimes proprietary middlebo...
