  6. What is a Virtual Network? wikipedia definition: A virtual network provides the functionality, or application programming interface (API), of links between nodes, as in a computer network. The implementation of these virtual links may or may not correspond to physical connections between nodes. what its not: physical transport medium

  7. Background 2002 • Instant Messaging • P2P blocking • Anti-virus • IPS (snort) • etc trends • Consolidation • Software (vs ASIC)

  8. Attempt #1 – the “VMWare” approach kernel advantages disadvantages • fairly simple for applications • terrible resource contention - latency • high overhead of virtualization • no sharing data

  9. Attempt #2 – the “proxy chaining” approach kernel proxy 1 proxy 2 proxy 3 proxy 4 advantages disadvantages • less overhead • bad resource contention - latency • more complicated 9

  10. Proxy Chaining(latency issue) Context Switches: =4 Data from the network Buffer Copies: =5 Application Proxy Moderate Load Light Load Thread / Process Proxy Chain Run Queue CPU

  11. Proxy chaining and VMWare latency behavior

  12. Attempt #3 – the “pipelining” approach kernel node 1 node 2 node 3 node 4 advantages disadvantages • less resource contention • app’s need to be ported to threading model 12

  13. Virtual Pipelining Context Switches: =1 Data from the network Buffer Copies: =2 Application Module Moderate Load Light Load Thread / Process Virtual Pipeline >8x improvement CPU Run Queue

  14. Latency vs previous approaches – problem solved

  15. Virtual Network tricks virtual networks are different than physical networks • dynamic reconfiguration (per session) • object passing & data sharing • share common resources (reports, alerts, management, etc) • backup and restore of entire network

  16. Redefining the Network • Benefits • Significantly cheaper • Allow for quick application adoption and management • Enhanced applications our goal: run your entire network in one machine
