This project addresses the issue of functionality placement in virtualized networks. Functionality placement is the mapping of virtualized functions onto the network substrate and is a key part of using network virtualization to create sophisticated multitenant applications on top of virtualized network "slices". Prior work only considered virtualizing of communications links via methodologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN). This project will demonstrate how one can implement network virtualization by utilizing only the edge of the physical network (which would make deployment much simpler) and how one can apply these ideas to higher-level functions (e.g., firewalls, proxy caches) and not just L2/L3 switches as are typically considered.Cloud Computing is rapidly changing the face of computing infrastructure and is a major economic driver in the technology sector. This project will benefit the cloud computing industry by informing the design of future cloud computing infrastructure and contributing prototype implementations the research community as open-source code.

该项目解决虚拟化网络中的功能放置问题。 功能布局是将虚拟化功能映射到网络底层，是使用网络虚拟化在虚拟化网络“切片”之上创建复杂的多租户应用程序的关键部分。 之前的工作仅考虑通过软件定义网络 (SDN) 等方法实现通信链路的虚拟化。 该项目将演示如何仅利用物理网络的边缘来实现网络虚拟化（这将使部署更加简单），以及如何将这些想法应用到更高级别的功能（例如防火墙、代理缓存）而不仅仅是通常考虑的 L2/L3 交换机。云计算正在迅速改变计算基础设施的面貌，并且是技术领域的主要经济驱动力。该项目将为未来云计算基础设施的设计提供信息，并以开源代码的形式向研究社区贡献原型实现，从而使云计算行业受益。
