openvirtex - a network virtualization platform
DESCRIPTION
OpenVirteX is a network virtualization platform which allows you to specify your own topology and addressing while retaining control of your virtual OpenFlow network. In essence, we are introducing the concept of programmable virtual networks.TRANSCRIPT

Why Network Virtualization?
Decouples the physical network from the virtual network
Enables multi-tenancyAllows security and
isolation of the users’ traffic
