Network Virtualization is one of the main concepts on which the next generation network will be based. Many research groups in the US, Europe and elsewhere in the world are investing on different aspects of virtualized networks; and many network providers and vendors equipments are very interested in exploring how this concept and associated technologies would help solve their business problems and create new growth opportunities.
