The system’s architecture is based on an original design that constitutes a vNIC, a physical network interface card (pNIC), and a software. The vNIC creates the virtual host, while the relay system manages the software. Thus, pNIC provides an interface between the physical layer and the software layer. Finally, we conduct empirical testing of the proposed system’s viability using real-life Internet-based research. The results show that our proposed system performs effectively and has good operability. | International Journal of Computer Networks and Communications Security VOL. 5, NO. 7, JULY 2017, 153–164 Available online at: E-ISSN 2308-9830 (Online) / ISSN 2410-0595 (Print) Proposal of a Foundation to Provide a TCP Service with Cooperative Applications Satoshi Kodama1, Rei Nakagawa2 and Toshimitsu Tanouchi3 1, 2, 3 Department of Information Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science, Japan 1 kodama@, 2j6316627@, 3j6316625@ ABSTRACT Recent developments in the computer industry owe a lot to innovations in networking infrastructure. Numerous protocols currently exist to exploit the Internet’s potential applicability. However, this situation causes unnecessary complexity in the configuration around units that compose networking systems in case of implementation of extended design. Network virtualization provides a solution to such complexities and forms a fundamental part of future network design. In particular, an overlay network in a physical infrastructure provides the freedom to maintain a customized network policy between distinct domains distributed across the Internet. This paper proposes an overlay network foundation comprising two systems. The first is multiple virtual servers that provide authenticated TCP services between an authorized client and a service provider. The second is a cloud-based system that provides cooperative applications on UDP between the supervisor on the client side and the service providers. The overlay network is operated by the virtual network interface card (vNIC) identifier, which results in simple embedding with no change in packet size. The system’s architecture is based on an original design that constitutes a vNIC, a physical network interface card (pNIC), and a software. The vNIC creates the virtual host, while the relay system manages the software. Thus, pNIC provides an interface between the physical layer and the software layer. Finally,
