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.
The project also seeks to encourage collaborative work around
technologies (management, network protocols, distribution, etc) which
can take advantage of, or contribute to the project. It is our hope
that in the mid- to long-term, these collaborations will evolve this
project into a vibrant OpenSolaris community.
The initial project team will consist of Nicolas Droux (preferred
point of contact), Erik Nordmark, Sunay Tripathi, Miriam Kadansky,
Kevin Fox, and Garrett D'Amore.
