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.

“Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.”
