virtual routing

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

An integrated, comprehensive solution to forwarding traffic at high speed in a network. All LAN, WAN and routing protocols are fully supported by all devices in the network so that the entire network can be viewed as a single router at one management console.

It implies the creation of virtual subnets, which are groups of users who are physically located in different areas but are logically treated as a single domain. Virtual subnets combine the logical subdivision provided by layer 2 VLANs with the filtering and firewall benefits of layer 3 routing.

The goal is to provide virtual routing (virtual subnets) in a multivendor environment. Many solutions are expected to tout this capability as ATM is integrated into legacy networks. See MPOA, I-PNNI and IP Switch.
