Each virtual network in a network virtualization environment is a collection of virtual nodes and virtual links. Essentially, a virtual network is subset of underlying physical network resources. Network virtualization proposes decoupling of functionalities in a networking environment by separating the role of traditional ISPs into InP’s (Infrastructure Providers) who manages the physical infrastructure and SP’s (Service Providers) who creates virtual networks by aggregating resources from multiple InP’s and offers end-to-end network services. In order to build virtual network enabled networks the following specifications must be fulfilled. Robustness: The network should continue to operate in the event of node or link failure. Manageability: The InP must have a view of the underlying physical topology, state and other parameters associated with the equipment providing the virtual network. Traffic and network resource control: Traffic engineering and management techniques performed by the InP must not restrict the basic operation of a Virtual network. Isolation: Mechanisms for isolation between virtual networks must be provided. It must be guaranteed that malfunctioning virtual networks do not affect the performance of other virtual networks sharing the same resources. Scalability: Any technical solution must be scalable to cope up with any number of virtual networks. On-demand provisioning: It must be possible to create, modify and remove virtual networks dynamically on request. In general a virtual network will have a limited lifespan.

Cisco Designs, manufactures, and sells Internet Protocol (IP) - based networking and other products related to the communications and information technology (IT) industry and provide services associated with these products and their use. The company provides products for transporting data, voice within buildings, across campuses and globally. The products are utilized at enterprise businesses, public institutions, telecommunications companies and other service providers, commercial businesses, and personal residences. Cisco conducts its business globally and manages its business geographically. Its business is divided into the following three geographic segments: The Americans; Europe, M...
Business ventures can benefit from virtual firewalls to protect access and data at lower costs than traditional methods. It is also beneficial to have an experienced security professional who is aware of your security needs. Virtual security involves the use of advanced controls such as a virtual switch to protect against malicious attacks coming from unverified sources. Applications are isolated to make them untouchable by malware, viruses and even applications that may stop execution (Marshall, 2011).
Netflix consumes about 29.7% of peak downstream traffic because of its online video streaming service. (Adhikari, et al., 2012). The network architecture of Netflix should be well organized to support the features of high availability and scalability. Netflix previously had its own data center to host the services and functions required for efficient video streaming availability to its customers. Currently, Netflix has adopted cloud techn...
Cisco Systems is one of the largest network communications company in the world. Cisco provides networking solutions that customers use to build a integrated information infrastructure of their own, or to connect to someone else’s network. Cisco also offers an extensive range of hardware products used to form information networks, or to give them access to these networks. Cisco also has it’s own software called IOS software, which provides network services and enables networked applications. Cisco serves customers in a wide range of businesses, such as corporations, government agencies, utilities, and educational institutes, and small to medium size businesses. Cisco sells it’s products worldwide. They serve as many as 115 different countries. They have more than 225 sales and support offices in 75 countries. Cisco strongly believes in the advantages of a global networked business. By using networked applications over the internet and it’s own internal network, Cisco is gaining financial contribution of at least $825 million a year in operating costs savings and revenue enhancements. Today, Cisco is the largest commerce site, with 87% of their orders are transacted over the web.

Virtual Private Network presents some advantages over the traditional network technologies. VPN offers direct cost savings over leased lines or long-distance calls for remote access, savings resulting from reduced training requirements and equipment, increased flexibility, scalability, and security. The main advantage of VPN is the cost savings of Internet VPN when compared to networks built using conventional leased lines. Leased lines include tariffs that have an installation fee, a fixed monthly cost, and a mileage charge. The cost to an organization of traditional leased lines may be reasonable at first but can increase exponentially as the organization grows. As an organization grows and more companies must be added to the network, the number of leased lines required increases dramatically. VPN that utilizes the Internet avoids this problem by simply tapping into the geographically distributed access already available. Another way VPN reduces costs is by reducing the need for long-distance telephone charges for remote access. Instead of having the offsite team of a company dial into the corporate modem bank via long distance lines, the company’s VPN allows them to simply place local calls to the ISP’s POP in order to connect to the corporate network.
...vantage of the overall network design and implement usable subnets with virtual local area networks. Use encryption and encapsulation to secure communications of public segments to enable extranets and cross-Internet company traffic. Use items such as intrusion detection systems and firewalls to keep unauthorized users out and monitor activity. Taken together, these pieces can make a secure network that is efficient, manageable, and effective.

Today’s firewalls combine multilayer stateful packet inspection and multiprotocol application inspection. The virtualized network and advanced security tools shape them even better. At last the only thing is enterprise firewall is for entire network whereas host based firewall is for that particular host only. When we use both of these it leads to no compromise of security.
The TCP/IP is the most important internet operation protocol in the world. While IP protocol performs the mass of the functions which is needed for the internet to work. It does not have many capabilities which are essential and needed by applications. In TCP/IP model these tasks are performed by a pair of protocols that operate at the transport layer. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). These two protocols are vital when it comes to delivering and managing the communication of numerous applications. To pass on data streams to the proper applications the Transport layer must identify the target application. First, to be able to attain this, Transport layer assigns an application an identifier. In the TCP/IP model call this identifier a port number. Every individual software process needing to access the network is assigned a un...

As we all know virtualization is the requirement of future. We have evolved from the age of traditional environment to virtual environment.We have grown accustomed to almost all things virtual from virtual memory to virtual networks to virtual storage.The most widely leveraged benefit of virtualization technology is server consolidation, enabling one server to take on the workloads of multiple servers. For example, by consolidating a branch office’s print server, fax server, exchange server, and web server on a single windows server, businesses reduce the costs of hardware, maintenance, and staffing.
It’s the single most amazing piece of technology ever created. It has changed my life and all the world’s lives so dramatically. The VirtNet is a virtual reality video game network, and it seems so real that no one could ever tell the difference. I’m one of the best gamers on the VirtNet. I’ve basically mastered the art of coding and hacking, and it allows me to do literally anything I want.
