This paper presents a platform for virtual network (VN)
provisioning across multiple domains. The platform decom-
poses VN provisioning into multiple steps to address the
implications of limited information disclosure on resource
discovery and allocation. A new VN embedding algorithm
with simultaneous node and link mapping allows to assign
resources within each domain. For inter-domain virtual link
setup, we design and realize a signaling protocol that also in-
tegrates resource reservations for providing virtual links with
Quality-of-Service guarantees. Experimental results show
that small VNs can be provisioned within a few seconds.
