BACKGROUND
• Network virtualization lags behind compute and
storage
• Administration within the data center may be soiled
THE CHALLENGES
• Physical network configuration is not flexible
• Workloads tied to underlying hardware configurations
• Configuration changes are manual and cumbersome
• Diverse network infrastructure requires vendor-specific
management and control
• Greater VM mobility and density difficult to achieve
VMs
Enables
software to
dynamically
manage the
network by:
Enabling integrated policies that span physical and virtual
networks
Abstracting workloads from the physical network
Controlling datacenter traffic flow

How network virtualization works
• Overlays multiple virtual networks on
shared physical network
• Uses industry standard General Routing
Encapsulation (NVGRE) protocol
Problems solved
• Creates VM mobility across datacenter,
hoster cloud or Azure without network
constraints
• Provides ability to import customer IP
addresses and network topology
• Helps remove VLAN constraints
• Helps eliminate hierarchical IP address
assignment for virtual machines
• Tenants with overlapping IP Address
range share same physical network
• Policies enforced at host level using
PowerShell or System Center Virtual
Machine Manager
• DHCP servers can be part of
virtualized network to enable locally
assigned IP addresses
• Supports guest clustering

Internet
Bridge Between VM Networks
& Physical Networks
Hoster wants to provide isolated networks for tenant
VMs with integral S2S VPN and NAT
Enterprises have virtualized networks split across
different datacenters or virtualized networks (NVGRE
aware) communicating to physical networks (NVGRE
unaware)
Solution

Encaps/Decaps NVGRE packets
Multitenant aware NAT for Internet access
What it means:
• Provides ability to control physical network hardware
directly from applications
• Enforces routing policies on the fly
• Requires programmable hardware that uses a standard
protocol like OpenFlow, Cisco OnePK and so on.
Challenges:
• Adds complexity to the application
• Creates challenges in heterogeneous environment
Is it production ready?
• Applicable to certain classes of applications like
Microsoft Lync, Network diagnostic tools, high fidelity
video games
• Most Line of Business applications and workloads may
not need this level of control
Challenges

connections between SMB client and server
• Helps server applications be resilient to network
failure
• Transparent Failover with recovery of network
failure if another connection is unavailable

• Multiple nodes/CPUs for network
processing with RSS-capable network
adapters
• Automatic configuration with very little
administrative overhead
• Automatic DHCP failover based on DHCP

clients by helping eliminate single points of
failure
• Provides in-box support for failover,
without the need for clustering
• Uses a failover setup consisting of two
servers located across different geographic
locations
• Includes active/active or active/passive
behavior
• Simple provisioning and configuration of
DHCP server using PowerShell
Hot standby DHCP

demand (gigabits
per second)
• Helps guarantee predictable network
performance and fair sharing during congestion
• Supports bandwidth floors and bandwidth caps

continuous availability when network
adapters fail by teaming multiple network
interfaces

 TCP streams or "flows” are
generally not continuous
 Groups of packets sent between
flows are called “flowlets”
 Dynamic load balancing detects
breaks in a flow of sufficient
length to minimize possibility
of packet reordering
 Flows can be moved to other
team members on flowlet
boundaries to rebalance traffic
 Dynamic LBFO maximizes
resource utilization in teamed
NICs by balancing loads across
all NIC team members
 Ideal when there are fewer
VMs per team

Increased efficiency of network
processing on Hyper-V hosts
Without VMQ
•
Hyper-V Virtual Switch is responsible for
routing & sorting packets for VMs
•
This leads to increased CPU processing, all
focused on CPU0
With VMQ
•
Physical NIC creates virtual network
queues for each VM to reduce host CPU
With Dynamic VMQ
•
Processor cores dynamically allocated for
a better spread of network traffic
processing
