Abstract: With the expansion of network measurement research, the network measurement infrastructures must support the extensible to different network environment and services while improving performance at the same time. A network measurement platform based on virtualization technology was presented, by discussing the key issues of the platform, design of the virtual platform and its operation mechanism. The instance of a multicast measurement shows that compared with the existing measurement platforms, the virtualization platform has concurrency, scalability, customization and reconfigurability characteristics.
