摘要:
A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for use of a connectivity manager and a network infrastructure including the same. In one embodiment, the network infrastructure comprises one or more physical devices communicably coupled into a physical network infrastructure or via the overlay provided by the physical servers; and a virtual network domain containing a virtual network infrastructure executing on the physical network infrastructure. In one embodiment, the virtual network domain comprises one or more virtual network functions connected together through one or more links and executing on the one or more physical devices, and one or more interfaces coupled to one or more network functions via one or more links to communicate data between the virtual network domain and at least one of the one or more physical devices of the physical network infrastructure while the virtual network domain is isolated from other virtual infrastructures executing on the physical network infrastructure.
摘要:
The method includes receiving, by a data plane definition language compiler, a first data plane definition describing customized functionality of a data plane of a first network application, and compiling the data plane definition to generate a first set of customized data processing modules and a program interface that allows a control plane of the network application to access the first set of customized data processing modules. The method also includes loading the first set of customized data processing modules into a data plane container, wherein the network application is executed via a network operating system, and wherein, upon execution of the network application the customized data processing module causes the data plane container of the network application to process packets differently than prior to loading the customized data processing module in the data plane container.
