Abstract

Virtualization technologies can be adapted to allow a single physical computing machine to be shared among multiple virtual networks by providing one or more virtual machines simulated in software by the single physical computing machine, with each virtual machine acting as a distinct logical computing system. Virtual network instances with overlapping network addresses can be supported on the same computing system, allowing users to specify the virtual network in greater detail. Techniques are described for programmatically provisioning virtual networks. Each virtual network can have its own virtual address space, allowing multiple networks to have overlapping address spaces. The virtual IP addresses or other addresses for one or more components of a virtual network could share the same address but still operate without interfering with each other.
