基于虚拟化的网络创新实验环境研究

研究者针对未来网络创新研究而提出的各种创新性解决方案,需要在大规模真实网络实验环境中测试、验证.现有互联网无法支持基于后IP新型体系结构的创新实验,因此需要构建全面支持未来网络创新研究的实验环境.清华大学TUNIE平台,基于虚拟化技术,是拥有自主知识产权的未来网络创新实验环境.本文介绍网络创新实验环境的相关研究、关键技术,以及TUNIE设计目标、关键技术实现方案、平台部署情况等.目前,TUNIE平台已实现初步部署,应用于教学和科研中,并且承载一些网络创新实验.

Research of Network Innovation Experimental Environment Based on Network Virtualization

In order to solve the problems related to future network innovation,researchers propose numerous solutions.However,these solutions need to be tested in an large-scale network experimental environment,which cannot be totally supported by the current Internet.Thus,constructing a network innovation experimental environment is meaningful for the further develop of the Internet.We propose Tsinghua University Network Innovation Environment (TUNIE),a network innovation experimental environment in China,aiming to support research in future network based on network virtualization.In this paper,we survey the past and the state-of-the-art of network innovation experimental environment,as well as certain key topics.Then we introduce design goals and key technologies of TUNIE.TUNIE is already deployed in several clusters,applied in teaching and research,and supports some network innovation experiments.
