Application Scenarios for VSs
User Group Virtualization
As shown in Figure 2-7, VSs serve different user groups to isolate traffic and faults. The user groups are managed through different networks, ensuring high network reliability and security.
Network Node Virtualization
As shown in Figure 2-8, VS technology allows vertical and horizontal network virtualization without changing the logical network topology. This reduces the number of physical devices on a network, improves the resource efficiency, and lowers network OPEX.
Service Virtualization
In Figure 2-9, different services are isolated and processed independently on VSs for security and reliability purposes.
