| Abstract | Many techniques have been proposed to provide, transparently, the abstraction of a layer-2 virtual network environment within a provider, e.g. by leveraging Software-Defined Networking (SDN). However, cloud providers often constrain layer-2 communication across instances; furthermore, SDN integration and layer-2 messaging between distinct domains distributed across the Internet is not possible, hindering the ability for tenants to deploy their virtual networks across providers. In contrast, overlay networks provide a flexible foundation for inter-cloud virtual private networking (VPN), by tunneling virtual network traffic through private, authenticated end-to-end overlay links. However, overlays inherently incur network virtualization overheads, including header encapsulation and user/kernel boundary crossing. This paper proposes a novel system -- VIAS (VIrtualization Acceleration over SDN) -- that delivers the flexibility of overlays for inter-cloud virtual private networking, while transparently applying SDN techniques (available in existing OpenFlow hardware or software switches) to selectively bypass overlay tunneling and achieve near-native performance for TCP/UDP flows within a provider. Architecturally, VIAS is unique in how it integrates SDN and overlay controllers in a distributed fashion to coordinate the management of virtual network links and flows. The approach is self-organizing, whereby overlay nodes can detect that peer endpoints are in the same network and program bypass flows between OpenFlow switches. While generally applicable, VIAS in particular applies to nested VMs/containers across cloud providers, supporting seamless communication within and across providers. VIAS has been implemented as an extension to an existing virtual network overlay platform (IP-over-P2P, IPOP) by integrating OpenFlow controller functionality with distributed overlay controllers. We evaluate the performance of VIAS in realistic cloud environments using an implementation based on IPOP, the RYU SDN framework, Open vSwitch, and LXC containers across various cloud environment including Amazon, Google compute engine, and CloudLab. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
