Construction of Virtual Network Mapping System Based on Openstack Cloud Computing Platform

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to find the implementation of open source cloud computing platform based on Open Stack. The open service is provided in Open Stack for both public and private clouds. In terms of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform, the Open Stack cloud platform faces a resource allocation limitation problem. This paper involves a customization of Open Stack Dashboard (horizon) to generate virtual network requests and then processing these requests. It implements a proposed virtual network embedded problem algorithm (VNE-Greedy) on top of the Open Stack Cloud platform. This paper also includes extended research into the Open Stack cloud computing system and its associated virtual network embedding strategies. The results are valuable for the construction of virtual network mapping system.
