Abstract
Provided are a virtualization-supporting programmable platform device and a method of transferring a packet. The method includes, when a switch receives a packet including a destination sliver identifier (ID) and a virtual interface (VIF) ID, transferring, at the switch, the received packet to a sliver selected on the basis of the destination sliver ID, and transferring, at the sliver receiving the packet, the received packet to one of VIFs of the sliver on the basis of the VIF ID. Accordingly, a programmable platform or router supporting network virtualization can identify IDs of slivers, which are resources allocated to users in the future Internet, and VIFs connected to the respective slivers.
