Mapping Virtual Networks onto Network Substrates
Abstract
Network virtualization is a promising technology for the so called “Future Internet”. One of the main open-questions is the efficient virtual network mapping onto network substrates. This paper summarizes the thesis [Alkmim 2012], in which efficient algorithms for network mapping are proposed. These algorithms make realistic assumptions not considered in existing algorithms. Results show the efficacy of the proposed algorithms.
