Hierarchical management system of virtual networks on NetFPGA

With the advancement of network virtualization, physical and virtual network managements become more and more complex and difficult. This article presents a framework, Hierarchical Management System of Virtual Network (HMSVN), including the functions of network virtualization and the features of hierarchical management. The system is implemented on NetFPGA to provide the solution for virtual network management. Experiments show the precise operations of virtual network by network flows and hierarchical management.
