Abstract

Object-oriented network virtualization may involve creating and operating virtual network objects (VNO) using a software-programmed networking operating system (SPN OS). A VNO may be a complete representation of a virtual network service provided under the SPN OS. A VNO may have a unique identity and properties, along with an internal set of methods for executing functionality encapsulated by the VNO. A VNO may exhibit persistence and autonomous control to enable improved virtual network services.
