Overview
Network applications have various requirements, and network infrastructures should be versatile enough to dynamically create various network services for them. NTT has been researching and developing innovative management technologies that use virtualization to allocate virtual networks that isolate resources in order to create their services.
Features
- Virtual network for each application (Slice)
- Adaptive control of resource allocation to suit an application’s processing requirements
- Interference among virtual networks prevented by resource isolation
- Advanced network equipment (VNode) with a high level of programmability for creating novel networking and computing systems
- Slice design that describes a slice’s resource requirements and hides the implementation
Application scenarios
- High-speed network for the media industry
- Highly reliable network for medical workapplications
- Highly private network for digital home appliance services
- - This handout includes research results achieved by the “New generation network R&D program
for innovative network
virtualization platform and its application”, which was research commissioned by the National Institute of Information and
Communications Technology (NICT).
