Comparison of resource control systems in multi-layer virtual networks

This paper describes the performance of various methods of QoS assurance for each connection in an environment composed of virtual networks and dedicate end-to-end connections inside them. The authors worked on the basis of research conducted with the use of the authorial network management system named Executed Management, which uses resources virtualization platforms VMware and Mininet for testing purposes. We briefly describe our system and techniques we used and some alternatives we tested and discarded because of their limitations. Functionality and performance of proposed solution to widespread implemented mechanisms as OpenFlow and MPLS are compared. Reasons for selecting well-known techniques to isolate networks and limit bandwidth on different levels of virtualization are considered. The purpose of this paper is to show out our studies and performance we achieved. Keywords—Execution Management, MPLS, network virtualization performance, OpenFlow, parallel networks, virtual networks, virtual networks performance.
