On behalf of the Networking Community I'd like to propose the
creation of a new OpenSolaris project: Virtual Network Machines.
The project will exploit OpenSolaris technologies provided by
Crossbow, Zones, Quagga, IP Filter, and other projects to build
Virtual Network Machines. The combination of features such as network
virtualization, bandwidth control, routing, scalability, and
filtering capabilities will be combined in new ways to enable the
virtualization and consolidation of network devices such as routers,
firewalls, load balancers, etc.
Does the team see further work on tunnelling protocols,
be they L2TP or some sort of L1TP (virtual wire) as part
of the scope of this project?
Why do I ask...
If I have a virtual network on host A that consists of
virtual routers, etc, why can't I construct a virtual wire
between it and host B where there's another virtual
network and have both virtual networks be the same
LAN even though they're on completely different hosts?
