%T Implementing Network Virtualization for a Future Internet
%B 20th ITC Specialist Seminar on Network Virtualization - Concept and Performance Aspects
%O Location: Hoi An, Vietnam
%X The Internet has become an essential communication medium upon which billions of peaople rely every day. However, necessary evolution of the Internet has been severely limited by reliability constrains and social-economic factors. Experts fear that current growth rates will threaten the future of the Internet as a whole, despite the fact that new core technologies already exist.<br> Network virtualization presents a promising approach to overcome ossification and faciliate service deployment for a future Internet. Exploring this approach, we present a prototype implementation which lealizes a subset of the 4WARD virtual network (VNet) architecture, allowing multiple VNets to coexist on top of a shared physical infrastructure. We discuss the functionality of our prototype and demonstrate experimental results to assess its performance
