Follow the virtual statistic to its physical counter.

Tenant isolation, shared physical resources and virtual port statistics.

The technical question

How did earlier network-virtualization systems provide tenant-specific statistics when physical resources were shared?

The research approach

The research connected OpenVirteX implementation history, technical papers, standards and patent disclosures. The chart distinguishes a source’s express teaching from the inference used in a combination.

Multiple evidence types

Connect implementation history and publications to the precise technical limitation.

Source excerpt

Skoldstrom & Yedavalli · IEEE ICC 2012

Section V · Author copy, page 5

“For example, for statistics monitoring, per-VN port counters could be implemented through per-VN FlowTable entries [15].”

The mapping

Charted for limitation 1c2: virtual port statistics derived from flow entries associated with the physical port. This printed-publication passage supports part of the proposed combination.

Scope of this excerpt

The passage alone does not establish the full claim. The complete chart separately addresses shared-resource determination, tenant isolation, dates and the reason to combine.

What accompanies the chart

A record your team can follow.

  • Quoted passages and precise source locations
  • Original references and publication evidence
