Switch-visor
Huan Chen, Theophilus Benson · 2017
To test and update switch operating systems, developers and testers need to install run beta-switch OSes (switch agents) alongside production versions. However, today's network virtualization solutions fail to support infrastructure-level virtualization of hardware switches. In particular, they fail to provide performance guarantee and isolation of the switch's resources: CPU, Memory, and ASIC (TCAM/SRAM).
