Virtualized Network Infrastructure Supporting Co-existence of Parallel Internets

In this paper we describe the IIP System designed, implemented and currently tested in the frame of the Polish national project entitled "Future Internet Engineering"1 (in Polish "Inzynieria Internetu Przysz"- IIP). The IIP system uses virtualized network infrastructure that allows to set a number of, named, Parallel Internets essentially differing in solutions for the data and control planes. More precisely, we design three Parallel Internets: (1) IPv6 QoS that basically explores Diff Serv and NGN architectures and uses TCP/IP, (2) Content Aware Network (CAN) specially designed for efficient content delivery, and (3) Data Streams Switching (DSS) for handling constant rate traffic with strong QoS requirements. For the IIP System we design a novel network infrastructure, which is based on the virtualization of the network elements (links and nodes). Such approach is on the line with the expectations of the network infrastructure for the Future Internet. In the paper we mainly focus on the system architecture, Parallel Internets and some aspects of network virtualization.
