Abstract
Cloud computing infrastructures will likely be a key component of future Internet architectures, owing to the many advantages of server and network virtualization, especially considering the emerging Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networking technologies. The cloud infrastructure will then determine the performance of the networking environment. In this paper, such issue is investigated with reference to OpenStack, a widely adopted cloud infrastructure management platform. In particular, the paper provides an insight on how OpenStack deals with multi-tenant network virtualization and evaluates the performance of its main network components by measuring packet throughput in an experimental test-bed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
