Abstract(in English) The standardization of Network Function Virturization (NFV), a virtual network that can be executed on general purpose hardware by separating network functions from hardware, is working in progress, and new technologies are being developed based on the standardization. By modularizing the functional elements used to construct the virtualized network functions (VNFs), it is possible to construct a network flexibly in response to changes in the network environment and requests from users, without requiring the addition of new hardware. In this research, we propose a method to construct a virtual closed network slice remotely and integrally using Docker container technology with Kubernetes container orchestration technology, the functions provided by network name space and virtual Ethernet (veth). As with the applications and services provided by Docker containers and container orchestration, closed networks with multiple nodes can be dynamically deployed and configured using this method, and applications and services running on containers of the same hardware can be easily connected and disconnected from the closed network. In this paper, we propose a dynamic network slice construction method using this container type VNF, to carry out dynamic arrangement and basic operation confirmation to construct closed self managed mesh network using a container mounted with NerveNet software implementation.
