**********************************************************************************
20th ITC Specialist Seminar on
NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION – Concepts and Performance Aspects

http://www.itcspecialistseminar.com/itcss20/
18.-20. Mai 2009
Swiss-Belhotel Golden Sand Resort, Hoi An, Viet Nam
**********************************************************************************

AIMS AND TOPICS
Network virtualization is the technology that allows the simultaneous  
operation of multiple logical networks (also known as overlays) on a  
single physical platform. Network virtualization permits distributed  
participants to create almost instantly their own network with  
application-specific naming, routing, and resource management  
mechanisms. For instance, server virtualization enables users to use  
parts of a computing center as their own personal computer. Recently,  
network virtualization received tremendous attention since it is  
expected to be one of the major paradigms for the future Internet as  
proposed by numerous international initiatives on future networks,  
e.g. PlanetLab (USA, International), GENI (USA), AKARI (JAPAN),  
OneLab2 (Europe), and G-Lab (Germany).

A major objective of this ITC Specialist Seminar is to early identify  
future performance issues and to provide methodologies and mechanisms  
to address the various  performance problems in network  
virtualization. The seminar is intended as a forum for scientists and  
engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their  
latest experiences and research results. It will address techniques,  
architectures, performance models, and performance engineering methods  
leading to real world network virtualization solutions that provide  
users with efficient techniques for creating and operating their own  
high performance virtual network.

Topics of interest are amongst others, but not limited to:
o Performance issues of virtualization techniques on routers and end  
hosts
o Performance issues of bandwidth and resource virtualization techniques
o Performance issues of overlays for future network architectures
o Performance of virtualized transport mechanisms
o Performance of virtualized services and virtualized applications
o Virtual test labs and network federation
