Components of A Virtual Network
Various equipment and software vendors offer network virtualization by combining any of the following:
- Network hardware, such as switches and network adapters, also known as network interface cards (NICs)
- Network elements such as firewalls and load balancers
- Networks, such as virtual LANs (VLANs) and containers such as virtual machines (VMs)
- Network storage devices
- Network M2M elements such as telecommunications 4G HLR and SLR devices
- Network mobile elements such as laptops, tablets, and cell phones
- Network media, such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel
The following is a survey of common network virtualization scenarios and examples of vendor implementation of these scenarios.

“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
