Abstract

In this paper the concept of virtual environment for implementation and testing private Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions is presented. The VMware vSphere virtualization platform is used. The paper presents the ability to reflect the structure of any given WAN topology using Vyatta software routers and VMware virtualization platform and verifies its reliability regarding data transfer. The paper includes a number of performance tests to verify the dependability of the proposed solution and provide a proof-of-concept for the network topology during the Design phase of the PPDIOO methodology, right before the Implementation phase.
