Standardization by IETF and Discussion in Open Communities on Network Virtualization and Unified Method of Configuration

摘要

Network virtualization technologies have progressed with the emergence of software-defined net- working, and the standardization of technologies for virtualized networks on autonomous Internet pro- tocol networks is continuing. In addition, progress is being made in the standardization of standard protocols and data models for network devices that enable virtualized networks to be built using overlay networks. This article introduces the progress being made in standardization of network virtualization technologies by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and presents related discussions underway in open communities.
