Abstract
The explosive scale of container CPUs needs highly efficient network virtualization
Challenge The number of container-based CPUs will be 10-100 multiples up over that of hypervisor-based virtual machines; cloud networking needs upgrade to fit the explosive scale of containers
Question Can SDN standards, e.g.,Openflow, support highly efficient network virtualization for containers’ networking?
DaoliCloud’s Positive Answer Presented here is an innovative improvement toOpenflow: Network Virtualization Infrastructure(NVI) + Tenant SDN Controller (TSC) for efficient network virtualization, and showing why/how proposed technologies are fit for networking container-based clouds of unbound scale
Application Overlay network for highly distributed containers, virtual machines, and hardware servers, to patch independent clouds of such nodes into a virtual cloud of any scale and elasticity
