Abstract

Abstract: Network emulation is an important support for the verification of new network technology, and effective mapping is the key to the emulation network topology. Considering the multiple resource requirements, a multi-objective topology mapping method (MOTM) for network emulation topology is proposed to realize the effective physical resources utilization. The method analyzes the resource requirements of nodes and links, assigns corresponding weights, converts the mapping problem into the graph partitioning problem, divides the graph by multi-level graph partitioning method, and forms a mapping strategy through remote throughput threshold optimization adjustment. The automatic deployment is implemented based on the mapping strategy. Experiments show that, compared with the Openstack mapping method and the random mapping method, MOTM reduces the load imbalance index by 66.5% and 95.5%, and the telecommunication overhead index by 69.1% and 65.2%.
