Research and Development on Network Virtualization Technologies in Japan: VNode and FLARE Projects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The GENI Book

Abstract

The Internet currently operating on TCP/IP network protocols has its origin in ARPANET developed in the late 1960s. Although the Internet started as an experimental platform for studying inter-networking of various network protocols, after its commercialization in 1990, it has improved and been enhanced to fulfill a variety of requirements as a social infrastructure. At present, it is a critical information social infrastructure indispensable to society.
