Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems for implementing private allocated networks in a virtual infrastructure are presented. One method operation creates virtual switches in one or more hosts in the virtual infrastructure. Each port in the virtual switches is associated with a private allocated network (PAN) from a group of possible PANs. In one embodiment, one or more PANs share the same physical media for data transmission. The intranet traffic within each PAN is not visible to nodes that are not connected to the each PAN. In another operation, the method defines addressing mode tables for the intranet traffic within each PAN. The entries in the addressing mode tables define addressing functions for routing the intranet traffic between the virtual switches, and different types of addressing functions are supported by the virtual switches.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. For a controller, a method for managing a virtualized infrastructure, the method comprising: assigning a set of virtual machines on a particular private allocated network (PAN) to a set of host machines in a network of host machines, wherein a plurality of PANs are implemented within the network; generating, for each host machine of the set of host machines, a different addressing mode table that specifies, for a virtual switch on the host machine, rules f…
