MPLS in Clouds: The Intersection of Networks and Data Centers |
|
| |
|
Considering the networking implications and requirements of the "Cloud", and how MPLS can be used in that context. Cloud Computing is defined in many ways, with many business models, but all of them require:
| |
|
| • |
Extreme scale: 10s of thousands of servers, 100s of thousands of Virtual Machines, |
| |
millions of users; |
| • |
Resilience, both of data and of connectivity; |
| • |
"Virtualization", in many forms: |
| - |
Multi-tenancy at the VM level needs isolation and handling of overlapping MAC and IP addresses. |
| - |
Inter-Data Center (Inter-DC) communication needs Layer 2 or Layer 3 network virtualization. |
| - |
User-to-Cloud communication may need user-level isolation and privacy at Layer 3. |
| • |
Mobility: users may move, apps may move, VMs may move, even data centers may move; |
| • |
Elasticity: dramatic changes in resource requirements over the course of an interaction with the Cloud; |
| • |
Orchestration: the ability to quickly and seamlessly commission, expand/contract and
finally decommission a session with the Cloud. |
