Virtual Network Urbanization

Abstract : Adapting virtualization concepts to satisfy network telecommunication challenges receives more and more attention. The virtual network environment is formed by the amount of bounded virtual resources provided by physical network equipments. Deploying virtual network infrastructure has recently caught more research interests due to its flexibility and manageability. However, virtual network deployment is not evident as it should be. Therefore, it is now necessary to provide virtual environment design to coexist virtual networks and their respective operators. In this article, we describe our virtual network environment architecture. We explain the proposed organization strategies to improve virtual network urbanization. The initial results and quantitative analysis of the architecture deployment are exposed.
