Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study has developed fundamental technologies and performed experiments using SDN to build a throughput-aware virtual network system which allows us to automatically deploy optimal virtual networks in terms of network bandwidth and latency. This study figured out that the proposed method improved the performance of network compared to the conventional method.
