How to lease the internet in your spare time (2007, methodology): “The proposed GENI facility [10] and our recent work on VINI [6] focus directly on network virtualization and programmability, but these projects focus on support for experiments and do not revisit the roles of service providers and infrastructure owners.”
The Road to SDN (2013, background): “…experimental systems research, researchers started advocating the creation of shared experimental platforms that pushed support for virtual topologies that can run custom protocols inside the underlying network, 7,61 thus enabling realistic experiments to run side by side with operational traffic.”
The road to SDN: an intellectual history of programmable networks (2014, background): “VINI [7] Open vSwitch [63] Mininet [48], FlowVisor [68]”
Can the Production Network Be the Testbed? (2010, background): “The network testbeds that come closest to achieving this today are VINI [1] and Emulab [25]: both provide a shared physical infrastructure allowing multiple simultaneous experiments to evaluate new services on a physical testbed.”
Software Defined Networking Architecture, Security and Energy Efficiency: A Survey (2017, methodology): “The capsule model [36], Tempest [37], Virtual Network Infrastructure (VINI) [38], and programmable router switch model [34], [39] are the examples of active networking models that offer the flexibility to control different tasks and events.”
Towards predictable datacenter networks (2011, background): “The use of network virtualization as an enabler for next-generation network protocols has been studied, both in the wide-area [40] and local production networks [41].”
Wireless Network Virtualization: A Survey, Some Research Issues and Challenges (2015, background): “Recently, several research projects have been started around the world in the area of network virtualization, including XBone [24] and Tempes [25] focusing on networking technology; UCLP [26], VNET [27], AGAVE [28] and VIOLIN [29] focusing on layers of virtualization; VNRMS [30], NetScript [31], Gen”

ViNEYard: Virtual Network Embedding Algorithms With Coordinated Node and Link Mapping (2012, background): “Similarly, network virtualization will enable researchers to design and evaluate new networking protocols on heterogeneous experimental architectures [6], [7].”
Extending Networking into the Virtualization Layer (2009, background): “There has also been a lot of recent work focused on virtualizing the network infrastructure itself (e.g., [2, 3, 5 , 13, 21]).”
A survey of network virtualization (2010, background): “VINI [46, 89] is a virtual network infrastructure allowing network researchers to evaluate their protocols and services in a realistic environment with high degree of control.”
