The Router’s Main Control unit Function Virtualization Based on Vmware
Abstract
The virtualization of the Router’s Main Control unit function based on the x86 platform can provide support for several technologies including virtualization,Software Defined Network（SDN）and cloud computing for further applications.Traditional router code is developed on private network processor.In order to achieve traditional function of a router in a virtualized environment,we recompile the virtual network interface card’s board support package,drive and protocol stacks based on traditional router code.This method realizes the router’s code mirror running normally in Vmware virtual machines based on normal Windows platform.The feasibility is also verified by the sending and receiving packet test.Compared with the traditional method of programmable router virtualization,this method utilizes a pure software virtualization technology and it is based on VxWorks router protocol stack,which shows much better versatility and flexibility.
