Johnson shows a great diagram that reviews all the various types of VM-to-VM communications that can exist in modern data centers: VM-to-VM (on the same host) via the software-based virtual switch (could be speeds of 30 to 40 Gbps in this use case). In this case, the switching is done in hardware in the SR-IOV NIC.

Is there a difference between network virtualization and Software-Defined Networking (SDN)? I encourage you to read Keith’s full blog post, but I think the key point he makes is right here: How is this different from Software Defined Networking or SDN? These are all software—does that make them SDN? Are they now SDN?

The arrival of virtualization software changed everything. This low level software allowed multiple applications to run on the same physical hardware but believe that they had the box all to themselves. This resulted in the IT department having to maintain farms of servers that were all horribly underutilized. No related posts.

Tom’s key point is that disaggregating software from hardware—which is kind of a given if you’re buying whitebox networking gear—gives you the (potential) flexibility to repurpose network gear based on the software running on it. Servers/Hardware. However, it’s at least possible with whitebox networking gear.

The ability to virtualize the network devices such as firewalls, IPS and load balancers also means that these once physical devices that have discrete interfaces can be controlled by software. Since they can be provisioned and configured by software means that they can now be automated using vCAC and vCD.

The latter can be open-source software such as OpenStack, CloudStack or commercial products such as Citrix CloudPlatform or VMware Cloud Director (VCD).

This is very much analogous to how OS virtualization componentizes and abstracts OS and application software stacks. The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.

Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. The different stages were then load balanced across the available units.
