Abstract: 

Virtualized environments have been around for a long time, but until recently these have focused solely on compute virtualization and left the network behind. Network virtualization enables multiple tenants to share the same physical infrastructure by decoupling the physical network from the virtual network. In this paper, we introduce OpenVirteX, a Network Virtualization Platform which provides virtual Software Defined Networks (vSDNs). Each vSDN is customizable in terms of topology as well as addressing scheme.
