The metamorphosing network (M-Net)
Othmen Braham, Guy Pujolle · 2012
Adapting virtualization concepts and autonomous piloting to satisfy many of today's network telecommunication challenges receives more and more attention. In this paper we present a novel infrastructure for accessing operators' services independently from user context. We also propose different scenarios showing strong potential of our approach. The metamorphosing network enhances several concepts related to future network research area. Relative works in network virtualization and autonomous networking could be incorporated within the metamorphosing network concept. We expose in this paper this challenging idea and the different methodology which is based on. The adopted approach could solve many complex problems specially related to Cloud computing services access guarantees. We introduce the worldwide metamorphosing network platform “M-Net” and expose some use cases with virtualized access points. The relevant key points of this architecture will be exposed in detail.
