Demo: AirNet in action

This demo paper presents the implementation and the use of AirNet, a new domain specific language to design and control virtual networks. The central feature of this language is to rely on network abstractions in order to spare operators the trouble of dealing with the complex and dynamic nature of the physical infrastructure. One novelty of this language is to integrate a network abstraction model that offers a clear separation between simple transport functions and advanced network services. AirNet is supported by a runtime system handling, in particular, the virtual-to-physical mapping.
