Talk:Network virtualization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is currently under construction. I am a new Wikipedia author and a novice with the Wikipedia Confluence Wiki language. Please bear with me. I hope to have complete text and redirects on Monday, October 10.

I cover a number of vendors' virtualization implementations, but certainly the list is not exhaustive. I am of course looking for contributions to the Examples and any other fine points that others might want to add.

The first version of "Network Virtualization" is now complete. I've had requests from various people for additional network virtualization content with which I am less familiar. So here is a request for input from the Wikipedia community on the following topics:

  • LDOMs
  • VMware's virutal network segments
  • WAN emulation

I would volunteer to provide some input regarding Network Virtualization in the WAN. The question is how to combine it with the existing content. The most appropriate reference on how to link LAN and WAN concepts appears to be Victor Moreno's book (if you should not know it a chapter is available for free at http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid7_gci1205459,00.html). I could think of an "inside-out logic" beginning with a section on NV that is internal to the server continuing with a section on VLAN and finally a section on the WAN (e.g. VRF/VPN concepts). What do you think?

Vitabrevissima, please feel free to edit this page as you best see fit. I'd love to have the concept Network virtualization on the WAN beefed up. I have a better knowledge of internal network virtualization (on the box).

Also, this section needs to be brought up to Wikipedia's Style. I'm not 100 percent sure of what that means. Are there any budding Wikipedians who would like to take this on?
