Network and Service Virtualization tutorial at ONUG Spring 2015SDN Hub
Tutorial at ONUG Spring 2015 on Network and Service Virtualization. The tutorial covers three converging trends 1) Network virtualization, 2) Service virtualization, 3) overlay networking for Docker and OpenStack. The talk concludes with pointers to the hands-on portion of the tutorial that uses LorisPack, and the operational lessons learned.
Customers are using NSX to drive business benefits as show in the figure below. The main themes for NSX deployments are Security, IT automation and Application Continuity.
Figure 3: NSX Use Cases
• Security:
NSX can be used to create a secure infrastructure, which can create a zero-trust security model. Every virtualized workload can be protected with a full stateful firewall engine at a very granular level. Security can be based on constructs such as MAC, IP, ports, vCenter objects and tags, active directory groups, etc. Intelligent dynamic security grouping can drive the security posture within the infrastructure.
NSX can be used in conjunction with 3rd party security vendors such as Palo Alto Networks, Checkpoint, Fortinet, or McAffee to provide a complete DMZ like security solution within a cloud infrastructure.
NSX has been deployed widely to secure virtual desktops to secure some of the most vulnerable workloads, which reside in the data center to prohibit desktop-to-desktop hacking.
• Automation:
VMware NSX provides a full RESTful API to consume networking, security and services, which can be used to drive automation within the infrastructure. IT admins can reduce the tasks and cycles required to provision workloads within the datacenter using NSX.
NSX is integrated out of the box with automation tools such as vRealize automation, which can provide customers with a one-click deployment option for an entire application, which includes the compute, storage, network, security and L4-L7 services.
6
Developers can use NSX with the OpenStack platform. NSX provides a neutron plugin that can be used to deploy applications and topologies via OpenStack
• Application Continuity:
NSX provides a way to easily extend networking and security up to eight vCenters either within or across data center In conjunction with vSphere 6.0 customers can easily vMotion a virtual machine across long distances and NSX will ensure that the network is consistent across the sites and ensure that the firewall rules are consistent. This essentially maintains the same view across sites.
NSX Cross vCenter Networking can help build active – active data centers. Customers are using NSX today with VMware Site Recovery Manager to provide disaster recovery solutions. NSX can extend the network across data centers and even to the cloud to enable seamless networking and security.

Understanding network and service virtualizationSDN Hub
This document discusses network and service virtualization technologies. It begins with an overview of challenges with current network architectures and how virtualization addresses them. It then covers three key trends: 1) network virtualization using SDN to program networks dynamically, 2) service virtualization using NFV to virtualize network functions, and 3) new infrastructure tools like Open vSwitch, OpenDaylight, and Docker networking. Finally, it discusses approaches to deploying network and service virtualization and provides a vendor landscape.
Do you want to modernize your data center? NSX has introduced amazing new technology and is the perfect ally for network and security administrators. But what if you want more agility? Could you imagine drinking coffee and watching the network configuring itself? Consuming NSX through configuration frameworks like Ansible or scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell goes a step beyond the simple usage of the GUI and allow for introducing custom advanced logic and workflows. Automating your infrastructure allows you to increase productivity, reduce errors due to manual configuration mistakes and simplify processes.

VMware Backups That Work—Lessons Learned From VADP Performance Benchmark TestingSymantec
We’ve pushed the backup performance envelope so that you don’t have to! Industry leaders Cisco, NetApp, VMware and Symantec teamed up to develop a best practice framework and performance benchmark based on the vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP). The test configuration uses the popular NetApp FlexPod environment. The result that proves that you can easily protect over 4 TB of virtual machine data an hour. Most think that to provide this sort of performance, a mountain of hardware is required. This is not the case. We show you how these performance numbers can be easily obtained with minimal hardware and a small budget. Improving backup performance also creates more reliable backups, shorter backup windows and less impact on the vSphere infrastructure. Whether or not you are using NetBackup, we invite you to attend this hangout where we'll dig deep into VMware VADP and its performance characteristics. We'll share lessons learned from extensive lab benchmarks simulating real production workloads. This will help you design and deploy a backup solution for your VMware vSphere environment that meets your business SLAs.
Bonus exclusively at this hangout: In this hangout, we will provide a sneak preview some of NetBackup for VMware features coming in NetBackup 7.6. We have exciting results to share on how NetBackup is pushing the performance envelope further!

Default and On demand routing - Advance Computer NetworksSonali Parab
Routing is the process of selecting best paths in a network. In the past, the term routing was also used to mean forwarding network traffic among networks. However this latter function is much better described as simply forwarding. Routing is performed for many kinds of networks, including the telephone network (circuit switching), electronic data networks (such as the Internet), and transportation networks.
In packet switching networks, routing directs packet forwarding (the transit of logically addressed network packets from their source toward their ultimate destination) through intermediate nodes. Intermediate nodes are typically network hardware devices such as routers, bridges, gateways, firewalls, or switches. General-purpose computers can also forward packets and perform routing, though they are not specialized hardware and may suffer from limited performance. The routing process usually directs forwarding on the basis of routing tables which maintain a record of the routes to various network destinations. Thus, constructing routing tables, which are held in the router's memory, is very important for efficient routing. Most routing algorithms use only one network path at a time. Multipath routing techniques enable the use of multiple alternative paths.

Medtronic had challenges virtualizing large workloads over 1Gb connections with vMotion failures in ESX 4.1. Upgrading to ESX 5.0 enabled features like multiple-NIC vMotion and Stun During Page-Send (SDPS) to improve performance for migrating large VMs. Using multiple 10Gb NICs for vMotion provided more bandwidth and reduced migration times. Quality of service (QoS) was important to prioritize traffic and avoid overwhelming switch interconnects when not using dedicated vMotion switches. Medtronic deployed a solution with UCS servers, Nexus 1000v switches, and four 10Gb FCoE NICs per host, achieving a 157:1 consolidation ratio while successfully

Atf 3 q15-4 - scaling the the software driven cloud networkMason Mei
This document discusses network virtualization and the Arista CloudVision eXchange (CVX) platform. It provides 3 key points:
1. Network virtualization using VXLAN allows for any-to-any Layer 2 connectivity across Layer 3 subnets, enabling VM mobility. The CVX platform provides automation of VXLAN deployment without a controller.
2. CVX acts as a single point of integration and provisioning for the physical network. It aggregates network state from EOS switches and presents it to controllers through open APIs. This provides visibility, simplifies provisioning, and improves scalability of controller integration.
3. CVX services include providing the physical topology database, distributing VXLAN configuration
The document provides an overview of the Cisco Nexus 1000V virtual switch, including:
1) The Nexus 1000V uses Virtual Ethernet Modules (VEMs) that replace the VMware vSwitch on each hypervisor and a Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM) that controls the VEMs and provides a unified NX-OS CLI.
2) Port profiles allow common configurations to be defined once and applied to multiple virtual Ethernet ports, simplifying management of virtual networking resources.
3) The distributed data plane means each VEM switches independently without synchronization, and the VSM is not in the data path between VEMs.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

24. 2424
Choosing the Type of Switch
Size of your deployment
• If you have a small deployment and need basic network connectivity, vSS
should be sufficient
• If you have a large deployment, consider vDS/N1K
Organizational
• If you have a group which controls both VM deployment and network
provisioning, then choose vSS/vDS (integrated control via vSphere Client UI)
• If you have a separate network admin group, trained on Cisco IOS CLI, and
wishes to maintain control over virtual and physical networking, then
choose N1K
Other factors
• Budget – vDS/N1K requires Enterprise+ License
• Features – vSS features are frozen, vDS features are evolving (ask Cisco
about N1K)

• Use same virtual switch to connect communicating VMs
• Avoid buffer overflow in guest driver: Tune receive/transmit buffers (Refer KB:
1428)
Use vmxnet3 virtual device in guest
• Default 32-bit guest vNIC is vlance, but vmxnet3 performs better
• For vmxnet3 driver install tools
• e1000 is the default for 64-bit guests
• Enhanced vmxnet3 is available for several guest OSes

Configuration Best Practices: #3
Converge Network and Storage I/O onto 10GE
• Reduce cabling requirements
• Simplify management and reduce cost
Tools for Traffic Management
1. Traffic Shaping
• Limit the amount of traffic a vNic may send / receive
2. Network I/O Control (vDS + vSphere 4.1)
• Isolate different traffic class from each other
• Each type of traffic is guaranteed a shared of the pNic bandwidth
• Unused bandwidth are automatically distributed to other traffic types
