Abstract
From the viewpoint of a methodology, the concept of Network Virtualization (NV) extends beyond pure operational issues. In this paper, we will first transfer the concept of location independence of resources, as known in operating systems, to the area of data transport in communication networks. This idea is denoted as transport system virtualization (TSV). We will outline an example for TSV which uses concurrent multipath (CMP) transmission and discuss an important performance issue of CMP transmission, the re-sequencing buffer occupancy probability distribution. The investigation of this probability distribution gives insights in how to select the set of paths when using CMP transmission for transport system virtualization.
