A network of namespaces (NoN) is a way to connect network namespaces defined on different hosts so that they appear to be interconnected on a (virtual) Local Area Network. A NoN protects the communications from malicious or accidental interception or intrusion originated by processes running in other NoN-s. A NoN could be defined using VLANs, veth, kernel bridge definitions, etc. It would be a daunting work for system administrator to define, update and maintain NoN-s defined in this way. The implementation of VXVDEX supports the zero configuration definition of NoN-s: users can connect their network namespaces running on a cluster of Linux hosts by themselves. VXVDEX performance is comparable to the kernel implementation of VXLAN.

Abstract
A network of namespaces (NoN) is a way to connect network namespaces defined on different hosts so that they appear to be interconnected on a (virtual) Local Area Network. A NoN protects the communications from malicious or accidental interception or intrusion originated by processes running in other NoN-s. A NoN could be defined using VLANs, veth, kernel bridge definitions, etc. It would be a daunting work for system administrator to define, update and maintain NoN-s defined in this way. The implementation of VXVDEX supports the zero configuration definition of NoN-s: users can connect their network namespaces running on a cluster of Linux hosts by themselves. VXVDEX performance is comparable to the kernel implementation of VXLAN.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
