VNresoluties

VNresoluties is a conceptual framework used in the field of virtual networking to describe standardized methods for determining how resources are allocated in virtual networks. The term combines "VN" for virtual network and resoluties to convey resolution decisions that balance performance, cost, and policy constraints.

In practice, a VNresolution profile defines a resolution level, a set of resource categories (such as bandwidth, compute, memory, and storage), and a decision rule that maps workload conditions to allocation decisions. Profiles can be static or dynamic, adapting to traffic patterns, latency requirements, and failure scenarios.

Origins of the concept are not tied to a single standard; VNresoluties appear in academic literature and industry white papers as an approach to articulate QoS and fairness in multi-tenant environments.

Applications include cloud data center orchestration, software-defined networking controllers, and network function virtualization platforms, where VNresoluties provide a formal language for specifying governance of resources.

Criticism notes that VNresoluties lack universal formal standards, which can lead to interoperability challenges between implementations and potential ambiguity in policy interpretation.
