OpenFlow and Xen-Based Virtual Network Migration

چکیده
Migration is an important feature for network virtualization because it allows the reallocation of virtual resources over the physical resources. In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of different migration models, according to their virtualization platforms. We show the main advantages and limitations of using the migration mechanisms provided by Xen and OpenFlow platforms. We also propose a migration model for Xen, using data and control plane separation, which outperforms the Xen standard migration. We developed two prototypes, using Xen and OpenFlow, and we performed evaluation experiments to measure the impact of the network migration on traffic forwarding.

Um Mecanismo para Isolamento Seguro de Redes Virtuais Usando a Abordagem Hı́brida Xen e OpenFlow⇤
Secure virtual networks must provide privacy and avoid denial of service attacks. In this paper, we propose a mechanism which securely isolates virtual networks based on the paradigm of data and control plane separation. The proposal is deployed over XenFlow, a hybrid network virtualization tool that uses both Xen and OpenFlow. The proposed mechanism associates an OpenFlow control application w...
متن کاملVirtual networks: isolation, performance, and trends
Currently, there is a strong effort of the research community in rethinking the Internet architecture to cope with its current limitations and support new requirements. Many researchers conclude that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for all of the user and network-provider needs and, thus, advocate for a pluralist network architecture, which allows the coexistence of different protocol st...
متن کاملNetwork forensic investigation in OpenFlow networks with ForCon
To resolve the challenges of forensic investigation in virtual networks, we present a new forensic framework called “Virtual Network Forensic Process”. Based on this framework we present the design, implementation and workflow of ForCon d a forensic controller to implement network investigation in OpenFlow controlled networks using Open vSwitch. Current trends bear out that virtualization techn...
متن کاملThe comparison of Virtual Machine Migration Performance between XEN-HVM, XEN-PV, Open-VZ, KVM-FV, KVM- PV
Based on our previous experience we want to compare the performance between five hypervisors: XEN-PV, XENHVM,Open-VZ,KVM-FV,KVM-PV We have simulated the migration of a virtual machine by using a warning failure approach. Based on some experiments we have compared CPU Consumption, Memory Utilization, Total Migration Time and Downtime. We have also tested the hypervisor’s performance by changing ...
متن کاملMaking Wide-Area, Multi-site MPI Feasible Using Xen VM
Although multi-site MPI execution has been criticized in the past as being ”impractical” due to limitations in network latency and bandwidth, we believe many of the obstacles can be overcome by various means for wider classes of applications than previously believed. One such technique is transparent dynamic migration of MPI, coupled with aggressively performance-oriented overlay networks, assu...
