Organized together with CNSM 2012, the fourth IEEE DC CAVES workshop is
intended to serve as a forum to present the latest work by researchers
and
developers from both academia and industry. The workshop focuses on the
technologies that will be needed to meet the demands of the new
virtual and
converged compute model described above, including Software Defined
Networking, OpenFlow and Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE)
networks. For each of these technologies the workshop will analyze the
problem
and solution alternatives.
The two major topics of interest are server virtualization
infrastructure and
physical switch virtualization infrastructure:
* Server virtualization infrastructure
- Software Defined Networking
- Server Input/Output Virtualization enhancements
- Automation of virtual server network identity management
- Enhanced virtual server network access and traffic controls
- Networking technologies to enable server migration within an entire DC
- Networking technologies to enable virtual server migration across DCs
- Security plane infrastructure virtualization
- Enhancements to virtual Ethernet switches used by virtualization
intermediaries (e.g. Hypervisors)
- IEEE 802.1Qbg Ethernet Virtual Bridging mechanisms
- IEEE 802.1Qbh Bridge Port Extension mechanisms
- Offloading of virtual switching to external fabrics
- Converged fabric reference services architectures
- Future directions
* Virtual & converged fabric infrastructure
- Overall network virtualization & performance
- OpenFlow
- Layer-2/3/+ fabric virtualization technologies
- Enhancements to convergence technologies
- Performance evaluation of converged iSCSI, NAS and emerging FCoE
fabrics
- Converged fabric security considerations
- Transport stack options converging Inter-Process Communication (IPC)
traffic
- Additional Ethernet Quality of Service enhancements needed for
converged
environments
- Performance and fault event management for converged fabrics
- Converged fabric management infrastructure
- Converged fabric reference services architectures
- Future directions
- Performance evaluation of RDMA over Ethernet technologies
