Hi,
We have just submitted a new version of our draft, addressing comments
received on the mailing list and during the last meeting. We are aiming
to submit a new version before the cutoff, so if you have additional
comments/suggestions/input, it will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Abstract:
This document describes open research challenges for network
virtualization. Network virtualization is following a similar path
as previously taken by cloud computing. Specifically, Cloud
computing popularized migration of computing functions (e.g.,
applications) and storage from local, dedicated, physical resources
to remote virtual functions accessible through the Internet. In a
similar manner, network virtualization is encouraging migration of
networking functions from dedicated physical hardware nodes to a
virtualized pool of resources. However, network virtualization can
be considered to be a more complex problem than cloud computing as it
not only involves virtualization of computing and storage functions
but also involves abstraction of the network itself. This document
describes current research challenges in network virtualization
including guaranteeing quality-of-service, energy efficiency,
supporting multiple domains, network slicing, self-management, device
virtualization, privacy and security. In addition, some proposals
are made for new activities in IETF/IRTF that could address some of
these challenges.
