Abstract
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 con.ned 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.
